Hi guys, I haven't been on this forum since I sold my old cop bike, these days I cruise around NZ on a 2008 1500cc Suzuki C90T and it is ultra reliable (read slightly boring) but her Ladyship loves the comfort and I have upgraded it as far as I can.
Anyhow I needed something to fiddle with in the shed, I knew a farmer who had an honest "barn find" in his barn, it was a 1969 Yamaha CS2 two stroke twin, in 1993 it threw a piston so he tore the motor apart put it into 3 large boxes then lost interest and parked it behind the tractor for 23 years! I knew he had it and when he told me it was going to be dumped I grabbed a bike trailer and dashed down to save it cos like all you guys, I'm a bike nut lol.
It needs a lot of TLC and I'm probably looking at a 3 year project, anyhow I knew I could get some good info on restoring an old girl like this from this SOHC4 site, you guys may not know it but your FAQs and general info is an amazing source of knowledge for restorers of all types of bikes.
