slice Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Just got a Yamaha YB 100 off of ebay, 1989 29K on the clock and has been dumped by the PO, a young lad who knows nothing about bikes or how to fix them and a Dad who wants his garage back ! So I am the proud owner of a 2 stroke which I haven't had since 1967ish ! Winter is sorted then just need to find out if it will run and ride plus what if anything needs replacing, I will be back with questions about 2 strokes soon. PS anyone got a manual? 2
Moderator drewpy Posted September 7, 2014 Moderator Posted September 7, 2014 nice find Slice, should be a good project
slice Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Just thought you might like to see it. 4
Moderator drewpy Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 good nick that from the pics!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 Looks goods. No manual download links please
slice Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 No DT I want the actual manual, seen one on the bay so my next purchase, that should put the wife right up there with the light fixtures
Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 I think think the one you have is the Australian model.................................................just look at the marque name on the crankcase cover in the picture
slice Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Yes I saw that, was wondering if the pistons went down and up rather that the other way, probably explains why he couldn't fix it ! Still will keep me in the garage over the winter and the wife will probably send my tea out there anyway. PS or could it be the rare AHAMAY model; from China? Just noticed it is the DELUXE model as well so I will have to find where they have hidden the ashtray!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 ................Just noticed it is the DELUXE model as well .......................... Deluxe; that is such a great 1970's/80's word.
meatloaf Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Delux, does that mean it has a cigar lighter fitted
Noise Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 That looks in pretty good nick considdering it had been dumped in a garage, would have thought the mud guards would have been brown chrome by now. Damn good find that Slice

Cool find slice, they're cool little bikes to blast round the block to the shop etc As for rare, its the model we have here in oz...the deluxe,DX100 on the compliance plates-I have a 79 and a 80.
slice Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 This is an "OH BUGGER" moment. Had to let the little bike go I'm afraid, just discovered a leak in the hot water tank over the kitchen (again) so £600 for it to be supplied and fitted has taken a large chunk out of my "get a new project bike fund" Seller was a bit unhappy about my saying I can't pay for it but hey ho sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches. Back to saving up again.
AndrewElvisFan Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Shit mate - feel your pain! Do you not feel hot water is over rated??? 1
meatloaf Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 You know what they say " shit happens" keep saving the penny's slice. 1
