Hello everyone! After quite some time I have just been re-bitten by the bug to start working on my bike again. She is a 1969 L2G which is a 100cc 2-stroke single (very similar to the YL2 street model). I've had a search on this forum for this particular model but haven't had much luck finding any information. I purchased this bike 2 years ago from a guy that had just started to restore it, but lost interest (he was a mazda rotary enthusiast). The bike was a barn find and was really rough when I got it. I removed a large dint from the tank and resprayed it as close to the original colour as I could (damn yamaha not releasing paint codes) and painted the headlight and fork covers. Other new parts include; indicator lenses, tank badges, clutch side lever, points, tyres, cables, battery side cover (rare as hens teeth) and chain guard. I also picked up an original manual for her and got some repro decals. Does anyone else here own one or have any information? Here are some pics. She's a bit rough at the moment... Anyway, nice to meet you all in advance. Look forward to hearing from you -Reg

Hello everyone, my name's Reg and I come from Melbourne Australia. I've just been reinspired to start working on my bike again (I've been slowly restoring it over the past year and a half) and I thought it would be a good idea to join this forum as from what I can see there are some very experienced Yamaha enthusiasts here! My bike is a 1969 L2G 100cc and after a search on this forum there doesn't seem to be a single thread that mentions this particular model... Anyway, I look forward to having some good Yamaha-related discussions (and maybe off topic) with you all. Cheerio!
