My LC leaked oil at the gear change shaft from new in 1984. I had it replaced several times, but it kept coming back. Seems to be just the way it is with these gearboxes and seals. Really annoying, you'd think Yamaha could do a better job.

My first bike at 16 was a Yamaha TY50 and i loved that thing. Still enjoying watching vintage trials bikes like this in action whenever I get the chance. Looks like a first class restoration. 

Looks good. Local dealer had one last year, they had put a noisy pipe on a brand new one and jacked up the price another $500 to cover it. Looking forward to seeing this at The Gap?

Yours must have been the small can version, right?

Yes, that's right. Quieter than Microns, and recommended by Stan Stephens.

These are the Allspeeds I had on my LC in England in 1987 for comparison.

About 10 miles away from me over in Hixson.

All the local rednecks here ride H@rdleys so I doubt he will get many takers from this area, or anyone who knows what it is, especially at that price. 

BelRay Gear Saver 80W has given me the best results out of all the various oils I have used over the years. Better shifts and smoother all round.

This has come up for sale 25 miles away from here, a 1966 Suzuki S32 Olympian. Missing a lot of parts so probably a money pit I am never likely to finish reviving. No title, no key, etc.

Yay or nay?

Anybody have a seat or side panels for one of these?

Always liked the stye of the YAS1C. That reminds me of the one I picked up from the back yard of the BMW dealers in Atlanta about 20 years ago for $20 and a 6 pack of beer. Never could get it to run, so sold it as project a few years later, but now I wish I'd kept it. Looking forward to seeing yours up and running in the new year.

Why, why, why?

Scroll through the catalog.....someone local has been hoarding a big collection of 2 stroke race bikes.

Going to need deep pockets for this one, I am sure.

This one is a little more realistically priced. In Central GA if anyone is looking.

Someone told the seller "it's an old 2 stroke and those things are worth a fortune". But not this one. So much missing off it.
