steel frame brett, but fairly advanced in 77. test ridden yesterday but something not right with carby, jetting. More rides, tweaking planned today and hopefully sort it out or will be seeking help from forum gurus. ???

According to the brochure above it was 104kg dry weight.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

Hi Dave

How come your doing all the finger work for Ricko. Stop pampering him and let him do the typing and posting of his bike.

Looks like you both have been busy since CD5. KX400 looks to go as well! I'll be looking for a ride on the big bore stuff when I get there. See you in QLD.

Catch you there.

PB

Anything Yamaha. AT1, CT1 (X3), RT1, DT3 (x3), YZ125X,  YZ250E, YZ400D, IT175E, IT250H, XR500RC . Always looking for Pre 78 Yamaha stuff....
