Hi George. You can find all the info you need here - www.motorcyclesymmetry.com/ Let me know if you need a hand. I will say there is a waiting list as of this post. Thanks!
My friend had this bike back then and I got the ride it and it was a great riding bike but it didn't have a fantastic amount of power imagine this bike with a 250cc two-stroke Yamaha engine upgraded it would be an awesome animal
🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️👁️⚖️It's a gem! Keep as is! Have a worked 84 in mothballs. Retirement 🏆 project!I rode from Long Island to Pasagoula to my US Navy destroyer! Good video! All the best!👍🇯🇵🏁🏁🏁
Seems like the 250 enduro is the only size I haven't worked on recently. I've done a 360, 175, 125 and even a 60 but not a 250. You are correct they are a blast!
Sorry but if I know anything it's that your bike is a 70 K4 model. You can look it up. I have a 69 K3. You can go to my page to see what they look like. You still have a nice bike by the way.@@Motorcyclesymmetry
@Motorcyclesymmetry Times and prices have definitely changed. Back in 1976 I bought my first truck. It was a brand new Dodge D100 for a whopping $2,800.
Last chroming I had done was two fork legs probably 8 years ago and they were $250.00 and 6 months, had to ship them to Minn. from Colorado. Yeah, expensive.@@Motorcyclesymmetry
You can get almost everything from this seller. www.ebay.com/str/amsupercub Depending on what you're looking for there are other sellers as well. Simply do a search for "C100 Exhaust" or a similar part and you'll see a bunch of options.
Did the tank clear the front of the frame ? I've heard some of them are a bit narrow at the front and are a tight fit on the frame I do have one but haven't tried it on a bike yet
@@Motorcyclesymmetry Thanks If need be I'd shave a little off the frame and plate it with flat steel if you understand what I mean I've been thinking of getting one of their aluminium tanks as well
I had a Honda 90 back in the early seventies. It was in a guys yard with bent forks. Took a long time to get the new forks. I remember it topped out at 62. I'm interested in getting a c100 or c125. Would like to know more about the larger ones. What kind of top speed can you get out of them. And how hard are these to find for sale?
The rear tire was a Dunlop variable pitch, if I'm not mistaken. I owned brand new a 1977 cr125 when I was about 17 years old. Used to fan the clutch and the thing would rip. Loved it! Thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories.
I just bought this exact bike as a barn find with 2,000 original miles on it. Hasn't run since 1984. Do you have a complete restoration video for this bike? Thanks. I can't wait to start working on it
Awesome I just picked one up exactly the same to recomission and ride 500 miles around Scotland. You can see the work on our RU-vid channel 😁 Also we have a video on how to remove rust from inside tanks using electrolysis so take a look. It's so easy.. Very nice work brother.
Beautiful job, beautiful bike. This bike was manufactured when I was 12 years old, long before I became interested in motorcycles. We never had that model here. When the Yamaha dealership started, the R3 (YR3) was already out. I got my first bike at 17 in 1973, a well used Yamaha CT1 175 trail. At 67, I still ride almost every day. Oh ! How I love Twin-cylinder 2-stroke Yamahas ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
I bought one new and rode it for years. Thanks for doing the video. Takes me back. Amazingly fast up twisty mountain roads with lotsa hairpin curves. Appreciate you explanation of why the black exhaust pipes--obviously the original was chrome.
Hello Al. None of the bikes on my channel are for sale unless noted in the title. They are all restoration projects brought to me by owners. Sorry about that!
nice job . i have a k5. what do you think of the plastic sidecovers? i cant find any fiberglass ones. what do you use to polish between the fins ? . any info is appreciated . jamie in newzealand.
The plastic side covers worked really well. They were a good fit. For cleaning the fins without disassembly your best bet is a brush with the longest bristles you can find. For actual polishing? Not sure how you would go about that. I typically clean and/or blast the cylinders and heads prior to painting so no actual polishing. Best of luck with your project!
