In this video I tear down the Yamaha YL2C, 100cc Trailmaster, getting it ready for a buff out and cleaning. I also do the fork tear down to check the condition of the fork tubes. Gregs Lair • 1969 Yamaha Trailmaste...
Thank you, no one's a looser on RU-vid, it is a community about helping each other, other channels have helped me, and I pay it forward when I can, I see you have one, I just subscribed, and I will take a look at some of your videos and mention yours in an upcoming video. That is just the way we work. Thank you for hanging out in the shop with me.
Hey Jim, this one is cool to me because I had a similar bike and it is one of the oldest so far, think the twin jet 90 Yamaha was a year older being a 1966 or 65.
Thanks Clive, I am by no means an expert, still learning myself. These are really cool bikes, enjoy playing with them and I sure appreciate you coming along on the ride.
Great progress Dale. That wiring loom looks like it'll do the job. Thanks for another great video I don't think I've ever given a thumbs down to a RU-vid video. If I don't like them I simply move on. If I actually DID give a thumbs down I'd leave a comment giving the reason. Keep up the wonderful work. Cheers, Peter.
Thanks Peter, I'm the same way, I don't critique or thumbs down anyone. Most folks are just trying to do the best they can. I think your right about the wiring harness, but the more I look at it, think I may make a new one. the sleeving is really hard, I have all the connectors, I have found it easier to make a new one than to fix most of the time. Thanks again Peter.
Thanks Don, I know your right, but it is some baked-on stuff. Very hard to remove. If I can soak parts overnight in soap and water, it's not too bad. If not....it's a bear.
I can't imagine giving you a 'thumbs down' Dale. The Trailmaster is in remarkable condition, the grease and grime certainly seem to have preserved it. I really do like this little bike. I'll take a look at Greg's channel too. Best wishes, Dean.
Oh, I don't know Dean, some of the videos are pretty bad. But that being said, I never do that to anyone, I just move on, just like Peter said in his comment. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter, its interaction to RU-vid, a down is just as helpful as a up. It's all about views. So, the guy that watches and hits down, has helped by watching even a minute. Yes, this bike is fun and very simple. Think the survivor look will suit it fine. Thanks for giving Gregs channel a look, he is doing a lot of fun things over there.
@@montana2strokeracer I enjoy whatever you post Dale. It's all good to me. As you say, it makes no difference up or down but I know how much effort goes into a video so I see it as a courtesy. As you say, we are all here to help each other out.
Your right Frank, I remember the country roads getting oiled down even in the 70's, growing up in rural Oklahoma. It really did help with the dust. I really don't see anything wrong with it. It's not going to seep into the ground water. Darn environmentalist anyway.
Another great video Dale. It’s amazing how well the forks held up from the factory. That black stuff is the factory fork oil and dirt baked on. Same on the frame from the Yamalube reservoir.
Hi Dave, yeah, I figured so much, but I had just never seen it baked on so hard. Guess the whale oil is not very good oil for baking. I have finally got the majority of it removed and am now working on compounding the paint. Look for the results in the next video. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop.
OK buddy, you let Jim get first today, I know your just trying to be gracious. Man, these videos take for every to load on the weekend, think this one finally went up around midnight here. Started around 5 pm.
Don't know Frank, since the condition of 2021/2022 my smell is not very good. I remember the smell though, think the Japs used whale oil in the forks. I did say something about it in the video but edited it out because you run the risk of getting deplatformed for saying the wrong things.
