my current atc

[borednstreched]

1980 Yamaha trimoto yt125j.
near mint barn find, sat for 10 years due to lost petcock bowl.
the engine/bore/piston look brand new! plastics were weather rotted and brittle from sun. so they got bombed black for a week or 2 then sanded/trimmed.

as it sits

Wouldn't call it mint with the wrong seat and spray painted plastic's.

^And the award for people who cant read goes to you!!!!


I hit the plastics black so i wouldnt get plastic dust all over myself.


I shaved the seat foam because sittng that high up on a solid suspension bike is asking for a tip over eventually.

Nice! We have a 350x that we still ride. Its not for the faint of heart! Its mostly used as an extra, But still ignites the trails.

And all that's fine but that doesn't make it mint.

Other than the plastics and a couple rubber hoses. the trike was near mint condition for a 33year old quad. It wasnt even dirty, no rust, no paint flakes.

Piston, cyl wall, dome all look brand new not a scuff or oil mark. It does 42mph easy.

I think it's cool looking with the trimmed plastics. Good job!

He said "Near mint" which I would agree with.

The enlarged air scoops seem to help quite a bit with air flow and keeping cool at low speeds.
I think i might dye the plastics black wit rit dye. Also thinking of changing the rear sprocket from 39t to a 32-34t. Because 1st gear is almost unuseable 0-3mph, also itd be a good bump in top speed too.

Sweet ride, When I was sixteen my brother and I went in on a brand new YTM 125. We had alot of fun on it. They are pretty good in the snow. They float pretty well too. Good find.

If you are replacing the rear sprocket, do the front and chain as well, or problems may arise.

 

[borednstreched]

Yep, the fronts are easy to find. aftermarket rears are almost mythical.
