Yamaha YZ description

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.
