Hi everyone I'm new to this site... I am about to come into a 1966 YDS3 250 that a friends Grandfather has had since 66.

It has been in ether the garage or a storage shed since 66 with what a tarp or cover over it. What would you guys

suggest I do as far as getting it back on the road. I was told he road it for about a month back when he got it in

66 and then parked it. Oh and if you know of any places I could look for parts for it that would help 2.

thanks

Mike

Hi and welcome Mike

There is a forum specially for these bikes where there is a lot of expertise

You will have a lot of work to do I imagine, carbs will need stripping and cleaning, preferably ultrasonic cleaning.

Tyres will be shot and need replacing.

Fuel tank will need cleaning

Battery will need replacing

Crank seals will possibly need replacing

Clutch will be stuck and need stripping and re-building

Transmission oil change

These are just things that spring to mind

A picture would be nice (see FAQ's)

Thanks for help! Sounds like I got a project coming my way.

I'll post a photo as soon as I get one

Does anyone know any good blogs or web sites for YDS3's?

Or good sites to look up parts and or buy parts like gaskets, seals ect..?

Thanks for you help!!
