98 YZ250 jug work on a 95?

[icantslowdown]

I recently trashed the jug on my '95 YZ250 and found a new '98. I looked at the parts and they look identical, but Yamaha shows different part numbers for them

Has anyone done this?

95 p/n - 4MX-11311-00-00

98 p/n - 4XL-11311-10-00

Thanks!
JJ

Im not sure but id call your local bike store and have them checked it.

I think they will interchange....but I think there was something that has to have a minor mod to it....I can't remember exactly what it is...possibly the power valve

I believe the intake (reed cage) pattern is different and the exhaust is a little bit different. I think they changed in 97 and 98 is the same. 96 is like your 95 if Im not mistaken.

icantslowdown,
If you are interested in selling your 98 cylinder let me know, I am looking for one.

98 on YZ250's have a completely different powervalve so your powervalve governor linkage wouldnt hook up, i dont think it would work but you could try it i guess. I would look for a proper cylinder.
