Bought second hand in 1992, previous owner unknown.

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.

Today’s stage, part one of the first marathon stage with no team service, was characterized by the highest ever racing altitude in Dakar history. Facing the 22,841 foot summit of the Aconcagua, South America´s highest mountain, the motorcycle riders had to cross a pass over 14,107 feet in elevation in trial-like conditions.
