Is it 367? Does that number match the one stamped on the frame? Is it on this list http://www.pure-2-stroke-spirit.info/download/yamaha_model_codes.pdf?

Wolverines! Oh wait, that's a different one. Welcome Chris!

Oh my gawd! They'd better pay for it!

Oh damn!

Welcome to the YOC! Would love to see the bikes. Check the FAQ for help posting pics.

Wow! Very nice bikes - both of them! And you've made such quick work of the blue one!

Nice looking bike. Something happen to it then? Welcome aboard!

Having the right tool is always helpful (IMO). But a few choice words are usually still on hand.

welcome to the YOC! I keep finding I have to redo the work of "professionals" anyway so I might as well do it myself the first time. The folks here have helped immensely. You've come to the right place.

welcome aboard! As Feliks said, post technical questions in the workshop. This section is for introductions.

hello and welcome. They both sound like lovely bikes. Would love to see them. Check the FAQ section for help posting pics.

I know... Pedro did a great job on it.

Welcome to the YOC!

Nice seat sparky!

welcome aboard!

Ha! Yes, once it's all over, it will totally be worth it.

Hey DT502001! I was wondering when I'd hear from you... then I looked and saw how long it had been since my last post. Man, how time flies by me! It's a damn good thing I didn't get a reproduction seat cover... the center of the foam was shot anyway so I would've had to do something about that too. My man Pedro is awesome! He had that leather as a leftover from someone else's job so he really hooked me up. It's way nicer than the vinyl. She's close to riding... only I haven't had her started since I got the tank installed and the carb kit done. Was going to do that last weekend, but the little bike had a flat. The shop who installed the new tires for me must have pinched the tube. So I had to patch that and get it reinstalled. Then my nephew got me sick. Mike keeps warning me to stop touching babies, but damn it, I keep doing it. When will I learn?! Hoping to get her tightened up and ride her this weekend.

Thanks Nev! You do such beautiful work yourself! I am ready to get out and ride! The weather here has been extraordinarly nice for March lately, but it was trying to snow again today. I think I've still got some electrical issues to sort out... but I'm nearly there. So sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I cannot imagine! My heart goes out to you.

Thanks man. Things have been so busy lately. I don't know why I thought continuing on with grad school was a good idea. LOL

Holy hell... it's been since January?! So... what have I been up to since then? Here's a little bit longer video of her running at 1500... couldn't get her to idle at less than that without her dying. So I ordered a carb kit and got that done. (Apologies for the shaky video and background music.) Pedro got the hole in the seat all patched up nice... only to find out I couldn't reach the ground. So he shaved the top two inches off the seat (damn near all the foam!) and put on some other foam. A quick mockup against the tank... Then it was time for some leather work... And nearly done... So... the tank has been a bit more painful I'm afraid. Mike got the old decals sanded off, the tank primered and repainted. I took the new set of decals to a local sign shop and they laminated them in the hopes that they wouldn't bleed this time. Mike got the tank all wet-sanded again and we were all set to get the new set of decals on when I basically knocked the tank off the stand. I'm still so sick with myself, it all happened in slow motion. Needless to say, my new nickname is butterfingers and Mike had to do some more body work. Anyway, the tank is done now, but I'm afraid with all the coats of paint we did, it ended up darker than the oil tank, but it's nothing you'd see from a galloping horse. I'll try to get better pics when I actually get her out for a ride! So there we are. I still need to do some tuning, but she's damn near ready for this season. I also did some work on the little bike... cleaned up the steering stem bearings, replaced the fork seals, and got new tires. She's all set for another season.

There's your scratch n sniff source...

Oh dear gawd I think I'm gonna be sick. Bleh!

hi Elliott. Welcome aboard!
