Here’s a few Yamahas I saw over the weekend at the Falls Village show.

Very nice!
Always hated getting smoked by a friends YM1 when I had a 305 superhawk!

Some of my first attempts at motorcycle wrenching were on a friends used 305 Big Bear scrambler. De-carbonizing the head, fragile electrics, and fruitless attempts to get the oil injection set properly if memory serves me correctly. Yamaha has come a long way since the mid 60s.

Are you using an ipad to post?

Nice bike, Steve-O. I posted the pics from my I-phone.

My first 'big' bike was a 68 or 69 Yamaha YR2 350 that my dad picked up from a local dealer.

We never got it to run quite right. Dad thought it was a YR2C, but that had scrambler pipes and ours had regular low pipes from the road version.

Here's my 75 RD350, super fun to ride but the clip-ons, solid mountings, high spring rates and lack of seat padding make it only enjoyable in small dosages.

Neat looking bike.

I just bought a couple r5 350s. Im thinking about using one of the engines to power my ct70. A 2 stroke 350 powered mini bike could be fun

Trying to reach orbital velocity?

jgger · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2019, 07:35:33 PM »

That would be a 2 stroke flux capacitor, might take you back to your childhood...........or way past death. It's a crapshoot for sure!

Started this thing up yesty after a couple of months sitting idle.
Started 3rd kick but I think if I left it another few seconds for the fuel to reach the carbies it would have started first kick.
A quick 20 minute ride then some tlc and a detail with in an inch of its life.

Looks much better than my telephone piccy.

That sure is a beauty, Ken. Hard to imagine it looking any better than the picture.

ken65 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2019, 04:30:48 PM »

Thanks emlupi.

What annoyed me was it was covered in tiny black and red dots that I couldn't even see
because i was spray painting nearby. My daughter who's into painting and has eyes that work properly
pointed it out. A couple of hours of gentle cutting got rid of them .
Should have know better.
