Jeremiah Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hey everyone, I am looking at a late 70's(77-78?) yz80 so I can swap the motor into my ysr50 but the kid isn't sure what year it is. Where would I be able to find out what year the motor is? Thanks for your time. Engine # is 593-005593 This is not the bike but it looks like it.

My first bike was a '78 YZ80 and it was a monoshock bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks, the pictured bike, the guy said it was a 77-78 and the kids bike I looked at looked the same. I want a 76-79 so I can use the 420 chain and use my stator from my ysr for lights. I thought it was xxx-xxx593 b/c I looked to make sure it wasn't an 8, guess I didn't look close enough. Side question - In your opinion what do you think the bike is worth? It's kinda beat up and the carb was leaking. I will probably replace the carb anyway he's asking $450 but it seems too high I want to offer $250 but don't want to come off as a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever you can get it for $450 or less.That looks like a low hour bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take apart the carb and clean it; you will have yourself a fine motor. When I bought my YZ80 a couple years ago, I paid $500 for a good running bike. I think you could offer him $350 to $450 depending on what the motor compression is, and what shape the bike is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
