Yamaha YZ description
1978 Yamaha YZ 250 Here's the story: My friend Ivan rescued this bike from a garage fire about 4 years ago. When he took it home, it wouldn't run and he had given up on it after a couple months. I came to look at it and saved it from turning into scrap metal. It was a basket case. (YOU CAN SEE A PHOTO OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN I BOUGHT IT AT THE END OF THE PHOTO ALBUM) Upon inspection I saw that it was missing some important pieces. Idle mixture screw, fuel hose, throttle cable was stuck. Removed the head and cylinder, everything seemed to be in good condition. Clutch was great and it went through all the gears. I cleaned the carb, repaired the intake boot, sprayed some started fluid, and she FIRED UP! I decided to go through and pour my heart into this bike and give it some much needed love. (it consequently drained my wallet in the process) Parts purchased: Like new gas tank Tank decals Refurbished seat Seat pan Side covers (kinda cracked) Rear fender (used) Shift lever Throttle cable Clutch cable I tore the bike down to bare frame. Gave her a good scrub. Painted with Chasis Black 250 degree weathered paint. The head and exhaust were painted with a ceramic 2,000 degree coat. Aesthetically, she looks ok. Not show quality, but a great runner. I probably spent around 100 hours on this project. It has been sitting in the garage for a couple years now and wanted people to hear of her story. I ride it occasionally. Perhaps someone can take her to the next level and give her a good home. She truly is BULLET PROOF. Feel free to message me with any other questions. Extra gas tank and new rear tire included. Deposit of $500 required within 24 hours. Full payment due in 3 days. Buyer arranges pickup or delivery. I can store the bike for a short time, but please no longer than 12 business days. |

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
Mon, 25 Mar 2013THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place. Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series. Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing). The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
