550 F2 started!
Laverdaroo:
No Tim it’s a UK bike but as it’s 1995, it’s well passed the date that that came in in. It’s got the Yamaha fitted, cover plate over the YPVS valve port at the front so it’s never been a full power one.
It’s got the obligatory Fresco pipe on the end and KnN filter, upgraded silly plug etc but it’s probably still 22hp now. They were good for about 18-21bhp depending on the fettle I their day. They were just the TZR motor and you could make those go like hell but also grenade quite nicely if removing too much of the standard stuff and replacing it with 17 year old engineering
We had a pals clocked at 114mph once which was positively supersonic to us at the time.
I shouldn’t go no the reducer washer has been ground out of the pipe at the front but that’s to come. Took the carb off it tonight to clean up and found this. It works and is sealed but bloody hell, that’s proper gashâ€

Probably but not buying Chinese tat mate, even the ones for the strimmers are crap after a short period. We got one for an Italjet 180 paddock bike a pal had, it just wouldn’t set up. Same with the one he bought for an rm250, April’s pegs so etc! He doesn’t learn, think the only one that would set up half decent was for his xl250 which got nicked off his bike whilst parked up at the pub, tje miserable buggers!
I reckon I can get a float bowl from somewhere haven’t really looked yet. Yambits might do one, they’ve pretty much got most of Yamahas old stock so it’s highly likely.
I did look at that but it’s not worth the bloody hassle mate.

I was thinking of just buying it for the float bowl Roo and the oring, that ones flatter than Twiggys chest.

Ha haa, that’s a good shout actually, top idea! Now get to bed or you’ll be all cross n moody in the morning
I’ve just come in, been awake with tooth rot so went and did some polishing while that carb pickled in the sonic cleaner thingy for bc a bit. Just climbed back to me put. 🥱
