Thanks mate... Will do. I knew it may have been a long shot as I sometimes see guys clearing out the shed so to speak to concentrate on a few bikes instead of a pile, however, I will certainly take a look at what you have suggested. I found a roller with a bunch of parts missing, however the seller is asking way too much for it.

Cheers,

Suzuki / 1992 RM250 Slingshot Project

« on: December 27, 2013, 10:07:21 pm »

Hi Everyone,

While I am slowly chewing away at my first restoration... I am thinking of what I would like to do next. The RM 250 N 1992 slingshot has always been a favourite and I thought that 2014 will be the year to rebirth one. So I am looking to pick up a good example of one that anyone has and would be happy to move on. 

Have you got one or know of one available for sale?

Would love to hear from you,

Mark

Yamaha / YZ50 SEAT REPAIR / REPLACE

« on: December 21, 2013, 08:29:56 am »

Hi Everyone,

I have two YZ 50 seats for my little beasts that I need to have repaired / rebuilt. Can anyone point my in the direction of where I should be looking for new foam and covers should they exist? Or even replicas? And can anyone recommend an upholstery place that I could take them to for fitting / restoration? I am located in Sydney.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi,

I'm looking for 2 left crankcase covers model no:3R0-15411-00-00. Would love to come across NOS but would look seriously at used covers that are in excellent condition and MUST be unbroken.

Are they around? Please get in contact with me if you have something I may be interested in.

Tell me about it JP!!!

Mate ... I have found a million bikes I would like to buy, but can't find the bike I want to buy first!!! Plenty of nice larger bore bikes but I cannot seem to find my little YZ screamer! Oh well ... I guess I just need to keep my eyes peeled and one will turn up!!

A CR500 in the shed mate! I bet shes a beauty and tears your arms off when you twist the throttle!!! Awesome!

Cheers,
Mark

Unfortunately the YZ50K was sold before I could take a look at it.   

Still keen to hear from anyone who is thinking of selling theirs... Would like it to be running if possible as this will be my first restoration. Perhaps you have one restored or part restored that you would like to clear out???

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Everyone,

A new member to the site and I would like to try and track down and acquire a YZ50 G/H/J. I had a little YZ50H as a young fella and would love to keep one (or examples of all three) in the shed again ... I am happy to look at anything anyone wants to sell. They seem to be as scarce as hen's teeth these days and I have seen examples online from basket cases to amazing restore's.

Please PM me if you want to discuss what you have in the shed for sale offline. Also, if anyone knows a David W who goes under the name of vmxer on bikepics.com. He lives in Sydney. I'd really like to make contact with him.

Cheers,
Mark

Mont,

What a beauty! I first rode an 80J (a mates) in an old quarry where I grew up. It was in 1984. A fantastic bike and it used to haul like a train! A really nice resto mate. Well done! I hope I cross paths with you and see it in action! Long live the 1980's!!!!

Hi Iainyz,

The YZ60's are a great little bike. If had my YZ50 I'd probably take up your offer and want more info, but I'd like to get sorted with the little one first. They seem to be as scarce as hen's teeth ... for good reason, they were a top little bike, with plenty of punch. It was such a pity that Yamaha stopped their production as they could have really been what KTM are today in mini bikes. Such a shame.

Thanks for dropping by. Will see you around the forum I am sure! )

Cheers,
Mark
