Yamaha Other description

1974 Yamaha MX 175. Bike comes with a  bill of sale. This bike will need to have a new piston and ring set or go over size on the pistons-I have bought a new gasket kit that will go with the someone road the bike on straight gas and cause the piston to lock up. bike has a new seat cover new front plate and the front tire look all most new and back tire looks great. Would be a great bike for the grand children or you self; would love to finish the bike but I have two many projects on the table. These are simple bikes and I think this on would be an easy project-do take trade ins looking for bikes from the 60 and 70's. Any questons please call Shawn Davis 423-956-3002 Thanks For looking

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?
