Hey everyone, Joined this group because I need some help fixing up an old YG5t. I inherited an old Yamaha 125 dirt bike in the late 80's ( rolling frame and a box of parts). Without much knowledge/parts/internet, I am sad to say it went to the great junkyard in the sky. Now, when I see an old piece of rust, I can't help myself to try and bring it back to it's former glory. Started with a 1966 Bultaco Lobito, and then picked up a 1969 YG5T. I am going to look around, but what I need help with most is how to wire the 12v voltage regulator. I bought a service manual, but my VR only has 2 terminals, and the manual has 5. Just thought Yamaha might have used the same VR wiring schemes in a few bikes. If anyone thinks they have an idea, please let me know, I have been looking EVERYWHERE.

Hi there folks, Just a quick intro and hello - I'm 6,2", 28, married and live in south london. Just Passed my MOD2, my second attempt (Friday 25/11). Have to say after 3 attempts at the MOD1 and failing my first MOD2 within 2mins of leaving the test centre (dont ask, a simply mistake and my only one!) that I'm still finding it hard to get used to the idea of having a full license. I've been driving a car for about 4 years now have looking forward to this moment since I did my CBT back in Februaury and now my final hurdle is actually finding myself a bike. I work in the city and plan to commute about 6miles (each way), sick and tired of public transport, the time it takes to cover a realatively small distance and paying for a travel card that would cost the same (if not more) as owning a bike. As such after a bit of time looking at insurance qoutes and costings and reading reviews, I've set my sights on a MT-03 - now just to find one. Look forward to getting to know you all and chatting here on the forum. Thanks
