Brakes?
How easy to find parts?
How easy to start??

Thank you very much

Is that still air cooled or is it the one with one radiator on the forks?

This is a old bike and wont be even comparable to what is available today. But if you just want to have a good time it will work. Should be plenty fast. decent reliability. suspension will be just ok. Brakes will be ok too. I wold call a yamaha dealer and ask for price and availability on parts like rings, clutch plates, gasgets etc. should be easy to start if not a beater. Should wheelie very easily if not a beater. You mix the gas in a can before putting it in the bike. I mix Torco GP-7 at 40 to 1. 3.2 ozs of oil to 1 gallon of gas.

 

ok thank you for the info. I believe it is a air cooled.
I checked out denniskirk.com and they have pistons clutches and other parts.
At a guess how fast do you think it would go if it is not a beater??
the brakes would they be drum brakes?

 

I would guess that it should go around 55-60 mph. And it probubly has drum brakes.

 

ok, thankyou[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

hi

I just got back from the city were the guy who owns the bike lives.
I drove it and at a certain RPM it just flys. I did not drive it too far because it was on a city street and there was a little bit of traffic. the guy said he had rebuilt the bottom end of the engine a little while ago. it started good about 3 or 4 kicks when it was cold. the guy was getting rid of it cause he never rides it.
He was asking $350 and it looked in good condition and the engine seemed good. plus I got a brand new rear tire that he had not put on yet. So i have bought it and will be picking it up on saturday when we have a truck with us.
It seems to be the perfect size for me in height:-).
