Yamaha YM1 description
|
Up for your consideration is a 1966 Yamaha YM1 with matching serial numbers. This bike had a complete frame-off restoration 6 years ago. I acquired this bike about 7 years ago. It had a ugly rattle can paint job and was missing the speedometer. It appeared to be a low mileage bike because there was no noticeable ware in the original chain and sprockets. After removing the engine and pulling the jugs the low millage was confirmed. The cylinders still had the honing crosshatch marks viable and measured exactly to factory specifications. I had the heads bead blasted, re-honed the cylinders and installed new pistons and rings. All painted surfaces were stripped and primed with etching primer. The frame was painted with Nason 99 single stage black paint. The rest of the bike including the front forks, headlight bucket, side panel,oil tank and gas tank received Nason 2 stage base-coat / clear-coat. The surfaces were then sanded with 1200 and hand rubbed to a glass-like finish. I spend over $1000 in re-chroming every chromed component with the exception of the exhaust system. The pipes on the left side are very good with only a few small blemishes. The pipes on the right side I would rate as fair because of pitting on the top rear half of the muffler. It is not noticeable from 10 feet away. There are two other minor flaws, one is a small dent in the speedo bezel which I purchased used online to replace the missing one and a very small dent in the chrome part of the left front fork and one in the left muffler. None of these flaws are noticeable unless you look for them. All of the cables and most rubber components were replaced including new tires and tubes. I have the toolkit, 2 ignition keys and the fork lock key. Since restoration I have put less than 3000 miles in this bike. It is kept in a heated garage and only used on those special summer days. It will start on the first or second kick when cold and run flawlessly all day. If you are up for an adventure I will trailer this bike to BDL or MHT airport and you can ride it home where ever your home might be. I have only run 100LL aviation fuel in it because it never turns to varnish like automotive fuel. I am selling because I have 4 bikes now and its time to simplify. You will NOT be disappointed with this bike.
