Hi All
I have a yz80k   and a yz125s (the 86 one) that I'm tinkering with at the moment. Both recently purchased and needing work. The 80 runs and my son is 13 so thats his to play with and the 125 needs a top end rebuild before it goes anywhere. I'm 41 and haven't been involved with bikes since I was under 20.
I'm a sparky and enjoy the pulling to bits and rebuild process and riding them....so here I am. It would be nice at the end of the day to have a couple of old yz's shining in my cave :)
My knowledge is limited but I'm willing to learn a trick or two and happy to help where I can.
Cheers Pete
 P.S I'm in Lara and work in Melb

I've got a box of bits that may well resemble a 1986 YZ125S one day. Put some pics up as you go.

G'day Pete, welcome to the forum I'm sure there is heaps of guys on here that will help you with all your YZ questions. Why don't you come over to Broadford next week and meet a lot of the VMX guys and have a look at a wide range of vintage motorcycle disaplines.

Stan.
