Found a '68 YL-1 that seems to be in good shape and is complete. I'm trying to find what the value is, as well as whether or not parts are available. Seems its been sitting for some time, so I'm thinking carbs will need to be rebuilt/cleaned, etc.

Are there other things I should be aware of with this particular bike? Links specific to it or other similar classics? How can I find out what to offer the guy (its at a garage sale)?

All I can seem to find with searches are pictures (which are helpful but not enough).

Any help or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks,

Lon

I'm also looking for information regarding the YL-1. I found the service manual online, but that's about it.

Here is the service manual.

You do have to register but it took a minute or two.

Here is a link for a parts manual

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/parts/home.aspx

Step 1. Select Motorcycles from the drop down list

Step 2. Select 1966 from the drop down list

Step 3. Select YL1 from the drop down list

Gday, does anyone have any info for this little bike. I picked up 1 today and most of it is there: engine, frame, seat, forks, wheels. Its missing the battery holder, airfilter door and I may need another fuel tank.

This post is 6 years old RAT try a new thread.
