Likewise! Looks like Airhead's got a video up for you. You should have a new spark plug sorted in no time.

As DT502001 said "check the part # for both bikes if it's the same part# then yes." To do that, you can look at the online schematics on sites like powersportsplus.com for the different years/models and see if the part numbers are the same.

I can't help with any derestriction info, but to the YOC!

My little bike was running well, but would piss fuel out the carb overflow every time I turned her off. Had hoped to get by with tapping the float bowl, but no such luck. I think I've got it sorted now after a thorough carb clean. Took her out for a run and no leaks.

At the risk of sounding completely dumb... is it possible to put the lamp in upside down? Going to hide now

C'mon Foam-eh! Show 'em you've got the stamina. If we're behind, I'd vote we use Preload's RD (my dream bike ) for whatever month we need to get caught up.

It shows the clutch cable as separate from the barrel end (http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1968/YG5T/HANDLE+%26+WIRE/parts.html), but it still looks like the metal tube is part of the cable. The throttle cable has two pieces. Our clutch side is the left side... Is it the same in the UK? edit - that may be a stupid question.

If it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. Sorry to hear that! But it should be a piece of cake. You'll have it sorted in no time.

to the YOC! Now you've been bitten by the bug there's no going back... no crisis.

aboard! +1 for getting a manual. It'll go over all the basic maintenance info and then some.

Sorry I'm no help with the cable issue... but pictures would probably help. Check out this thread for help posting pics...

Didn't show it on my phone until I used the view full site link. It looks pretty... here's hoping it lasts long enough.

That's perfect! It's just like that in the states too. Such a sense of entitlement.

Very nice!

Welcome to the YOC!

welcome aboard!

Woo-hoo!

No worries. If I could help, I would.

welcome aboard!

Oh I feel for you! I too hate relying on other people. It's been nothing but "next week" with the shop that has my motor. Plus after I got my wheels mounted, they weren't true... so now the same shop has those again so they can fix it right this time. And I'm sure it'll be a whole lot more next weeks before I get those back too.

Sounds like you keep busy. Post up some pics when you get a chance.

to the YOC!

I think he's referring to the engine numbers stamped on the casing... but I could be wrong, it's been known to happen on more than one occasion.

Nice!
