For Sale: Used Yamaha Dirt Bike


Bought second hand in 1992, previous owner unknown. 
It has been sitting for two winters, so the carburetor needs to be cleaned. The bike could use a new throttle return spring and pet-cock. 
I used to work at Carolina Yamaha - I had a good parts connection.
Below is a list of stuff I've gone through and an approximate time of use since:

Cylinder re-sleeved & on second bore, Wisco piston & rings - 10 hours
Rebuilt EBC clutch - 5 hours
Custom built header pipe & muffler - 20 hours
Purple aluminum Renthal handlebars (unbent) - 15 hours
TMV Universal Gunner Gasser Motorcycle Throttle - 20 hours
Rebuilt aluminum swing arm with new Yamaha bearings/bushings - 25 hours
Front Dunlop knobby - 20 hours
Rear Kenda knobby - 5 hours
Replaced brake/clutch with Motion Pro cables - 25 hours
Maier Bark Busters (ideal for the Carolina pines) - 15 hours
Replaced front & rear brakes/EBC shoes - 25 hours
Replaced old seat cover with Ceet cover - 5 hours   seat frame not original
Sidewinder front and rear sprockets & EK chain - 30 hours

As you can see by the pictures, this bike is vintage, and complete.

No warranty/returns please. I pledge that everything described and shown here to be accurate. I have 100% feedback as a buyer and seller so bid with confidence.

Thanks for shopping!!


PS  If you are not local but still interested in buying, if you agree to arrange & pay for shipping, I am willing to crate the item for $250.

Valentino Rossi Works at the Yamaha Offices when not Winning Everything

Tue, 07 Jul 2009

Yamaha Motor Europe has recently posted up on YouTube a delightful video about their riders.  Their secret for being so good at what they do is that they totally immerse themselves in Yamaha by working at the Yamaha offices. Hilarity ensues. James Toseland works the mail room, while Colin Edwards does security, quoting Eric Cartman from a 10 year-old-South Park episode.  Jorge Lorenzo is washing windows and Valentino Rossi is working the front desk.
