Yamaha Other description
Up for auction is a completely restored Yamaha YL-1 Twin Jet 100. This bike was completely restored many years ago and was on display in the original owners office before I acquired it and put it on display in one of my Yamaha dealerships. I moved the bike to my office when I sold my local dealership and I am now moving and have no place in my new office to display it.
The only items not original to the bike are the tail light and horn. The tail light was for a Japanese spec YL-1. The horn was incorrect, but I have since found an original 6v horn for this bike, but have not installed it. The motor is free and has good compression, but I have never started it. The original owner replaced all of the hoses etc, but put inline fuel filters in the hoses that were never part of the fuel system and used zip-ties for hose clamps instead of the wire clips that were originally used. These are easily acquired. Many of the parts that were replaced still have the original part number stickers still on them. This bike also has the rear chaincase that was usually discarded in the first days of ownership.
The seat is nice and soft and all of the cables and rubber bits are in really nice condition. The only missing items are the rear "buddy pegs". The rear turn signals have a little pitting i the chrome as they were never replaced, but the front signals are great. I have all of the paperwork from the original owner with the title.
This is a great piece of Yamaha history and will make someone a great collector bike.
