Title: yamaha YJ2
Post by: haynes66 on November 11, 2017, 09:45:04 PM
i was trawling through ebay, as you do, and this rusty little heap turns up cheap and i couldnt resist it. it seems all there but in dire need of a total rebuild. it will sit in the back of the shed until i finish my hondas first though. i cant seem to post pictures so you'll have to google it.

apparently it's an 80cc ygs1 which is quite a rarity, it seems. i need a fuel tank as mine does a very good colander impression and the silencer is unobtainable, so i'll be trawling the bike jumbles come spring time.

very close. mine has the upswept silencer on the left side, a different tank and a black and white seat, sometimes called the sport 80 in the states. i just cant seem to upload pictures anymore as i'm PC inept.

ive just received my membership pack from the VJMC and it's very comprehensive and invaluable by the look of it. hopefully i will get more info and even some spares which are proving very difficult to find. well worth the joining fee, methinks..
