Yamaha YZ description

It is finally time. I am selling my 1978 Yamaha 400e YZ. I bought the bike in 1978 and rode it while living in California and since moving to Utah in 1979. It has not been ridden much in the last 20 years. It has been a fantastic bike and absolutely reliable through all the years. I originally thought about selling my bike just "As Is". But since it has been such a great experience owning and riding this bike that I decided to refurbish the bike first and then sell it. I thought my bike deserved the time, the cost and the effort as payback for all  the fun times over the last 38 years of ownership.

The bike has the original matching numbers frame and motor; 2K8002061   Clear Pink Slip Title

This is a No Reserve Auction!

The bike has been completely disassembled and cleaned and painted and many parts replaced as needed. I have spent many hundreds of dollars and over a hundred hours to get my bike in the current condition. Please see the many pics.

New Plastic set, new chain, new UNI dual air filter, new air filter metal cage, new chain rub blocks, new/as new tires, new cable guides, new grips, Magura dogleg levers, new chain guards, new kick start boot,  new seat cover, etc, etc.

I am also including many used parts in this auction sale. Spare 1978 400e YZ close ratio gear set, a set of excellent clutch plates, clutch holding tool, fly wheel remover tool, 12, 13, & 15 teeth counter sprockets, and spare new front tubes and spare new rear tubes. Original Owner's manual and a Clymers Yamaha 1975-1980 Maintenance Manual.

I may be able to assist in arranging shipping.  Shipping cost if needed to be determined later and is to be paid by the buyer.  Deposit of $500 due within 48 hours of close of auction.

I can provide answers to any questions you may have.

This fetching necklace features a realistic interpretation of Yamaha's automatic FJR1300. What would perfect this look for the FJR1300 owner, actually let me stop and provide the image for you; imagine as Mr. FJR pulls in to the pub carpark.
