YZ360B in Perth

[Davey Crocket]

Gidday Martin,I've had another look at your bike since you seem a bit upset over my "pretty average" comment, well, here goes
TM125 tailpipe...that should work good on a 250
Frame loop bent, you said that....thats gotta be good
Cant adjust a chain so how good is the motor?...didnt know chains tightened up after 2 laps
Rusty spokes and the hubs have been painted without being pulled apart....quality work there
30 year old front tyre
Dodgy front brake arm and cable looks like it's been held with a hoseclamp
Carby has no overflow hoses on it (there expensive) and looks wrong
Rear brake arm wrong
Clutch cable looks sus
Love the blue tape on the wiring
Valve in the shock looks booggie...the screw above it is where the gas goes
Exhaust is dinged up
Kickstart is wrong
Rusty nuts, bolts and fittings
Tank dented
CDI box looks like its zip tied to the frame next to the shock
I'm thinking now my first impression was generous, as for wanting to look at my bikes....you dont want to go there. YZ B's are a beautifull looking bike and you havent done that one any justice, yes they are hard to get parts for and expensive (maybe thats why your selling it), but they are out there. These bikes are rare and collectable so when they turn up people take notice. All I said was it's "pretty average"....if I'm wrong tell me...I'm just calling a spade a spade, cheers John.

its your bike do with it what you want sell it for what you want.if its mostly yz then its worth good money in any condition.the last yz on ebay was also baged a lot but it made more than what all the so called yz experts on this forum said it was worth.that enduro rider that died andys bike it was baged over the price but was sold as well.you cant just buy these down the road a few chep ones in the usa but you have to know how to get them here chep
good luck with the sale

just picking up on a comment - Freaky - you mentioned a 360B motor in your race bike - you aren't playing catch up and getting serious about beating me at the Nats are - importing race motors now eh! 

Martin - have quite a few contacts for parts and info if you need and want to do some more?   Everything from sleeves to shocks and inbetween 

regards

YEp i figure with 5 classes entered im going to be knackered, so ill need that slugger to beat you at your own game.  Plus the 250 is still pinging its brains out and im out of time to figure it out.  ( still building 4 bikes)

[Rossvickicampbell]

mmmm - this is getting serious - the Freaky versus Rossco versus Fatboy show!!!!  Back of the pack never looked so good!

Martin, if you want detailed photo's of what a 360B looks like, then log onto Terry Goods ....mxworksbikes.com and go to the comparrison between the 360B and the OW13.....you'll get all the pickie's you need. Alot of parts carried over to MXB's and YZC's which you can source cheaper and easier.

[Rossvickicampbell]
