Yamaha YZ description

1979 YZ250 ONE OF A KIND HANDCRAFTED HISTORY

A 79 YZ hand built in the spirit of the early factory racer's. This bike has features not normally seen in a bike of this era. For example a bespoke aluminum fuel tank. The sum of the hours of labor on this bike is lots of details. Please look at the photos closely.

The list of one of a kind include:

* Aluminum fuel tank with painted script, not a sticker
* Aluminum swingarm / chain guide ( Not Oem)
* Cone expansion chamber and alloy silencer
* Changed rear chassis to accommodate a trick alum. airbox similar to the factory racer's
* Modified front brake to dual action with billet lever arms
* Stainless steel foot pegs
* Chrome Moly brake torque arm
* Gear shift lever
* Thermo formed number plates
* Hammer formed mud guard

The list of new parts as follows:

* Tires - Dunlop
* Seat cover & foam
* Fenders
* Chain
* Levers
* Grips
* Handle bars

Front forks have machined details, with new seals and oil, and look great.

As this motorcycle was proudly displayed indoors there has been no fuel in it since restoration.
The engine has new gaskets and good compression but will need a new stator coil to run.

If you are serious you can call 208-899-0069 for more info.

R1 noise, bike porn and a quick lap

Tue, 24 Apr 2012

Trawling the internet for a sound clip of the Crossplane Crank Yamaha R1 on full chatter, I came across this: a few fast laps on board with New Zealand Superbike racer Tony Rees as he works the CABS Throttle Blipper on his 2011 R1. (Skip to 7:35 for the fast ones.) CABS is a system used by Superbike teams that makes use of the R1’s digitally controlled throttle. When you change up a gear, the bike blips in the perfect amount of revs to save time on track and make downshifts as quick and easy as clutch-less upshifts.
