I considered myself the luckiest man alive when I found this Yamaha GT80 in a dumpster about to go to the dump!! I of course rescued this machine and soon found out that it was in exceptionally good shape for having been abandoned! I was able to get it running with very little effort and was even able to take it for a test rip and top speed run! Pretty sure this will be a once in a lifetime event for me and I enjoyed every minute of it!

I bet somebody just parked the bike in the dumpster and was pretty upset when he wanted to pick it up! 😂Congrats - perfect find!

Hope you know it's a 2-stroke oil reservoir now needs bleeding to the oil pump, always use oil and gas to spray, hope it is ok.?

@demon817 2 года назад

I think some kids stole it popped it in the dumpster and you showed up before they could get transportation to take off safely with the bike. I can't see any one throwing a bike like that in the trash. 😈

@linkgroundwalker Год назад

That’s what I’m saying, either staged or your scenario.

I had an 82 dr500 that ran and had all original parts and I gave it away because I was sick of looking at it I recently got into restoring old bikes and kick myself for it all the time so I believe it

Great little Bike that ended up going really well..you'll be putting it on the Bike trailer to take it somewhere next..

@kentuckyyankee 2 года назад

😂😂 Might be awhile for that, but glad you brought it up, the bike trailer is being upgraded!! Stay tuned

@raytheguyinthechair2791 2 года назад

Sounds lit it has a bigger rear sprocket instead of the stock 41 tooth sprocket. That's probably why its not hitting 40mph

@riley5846 10 месяцев назад

Is there a reason for taking the bike apart to fix it before trying to start it? I’m going to buy a gt80 next week and owner says it doesn’t run, I was gonna put gas in it and try and send it, but now I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t, and I should follow your steps?

@kentuckyyankee 10 месяцев назад

Might kick it over without the spark plug in, then go for it, pour gas in it and see what happens. Here is a playlist going completely through a GT80. Hope this helps. ru-vid.com/group/PL9qe0chdOgTsNQryKhl7qF4VMmX0wmXN1&si=NxUZVKhMEJw1risF

Would you consider selling? I live in south central kentucky and had a KE100 I rode when I was younger before I knew anything about how engines work. That bike ran like crap now that I look back on it, she was in desperate need of seals everywhere

Seeing this makes me sick inside throwing out a gt80 in the dumpstet That should honestly be a crime knowing a Yamaha GT80 is a wonderful peice of history. As a child my uncle had the service manuals that he gave me as a child. Wish i still had them

@scotts2018 2 года назад

Great find! I have a few of those. You should stop cranking engines with your hand, my brother broke his arm doing that when the engine kicked back

@kentuckyyankee 2 года назад

I’m gunna have to say the same.. someone would be pretty stupid to throw a bike away that had good spark and just needed a carb clean. Plus the dumpster being conveniently full. That bike had way to much potential but hey I’ve got some crazy free machines myself so it’s not all that unbelievable. 😂
