As you all know. I have been searching for another bike to start a new project. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an Enfield to play around with. So had to settle for a Yamaha. Its a two-stroke 4-speed 100cc bike. After the RD350 and Enfield, this is the other fan following bike.
Now more about the bike I picked:
Everything is in literally pathetic condition. Even the engine sounds rubbish. There is a problem of misfire, it doesn't rev very high and annoyingly for the moment it doesn't even cross 60kmph. By tomorrow, I'll have the price estimates of rebuilding the engine and possibly even porting it. The silencer is also choked and will need decarbonising. All the basic accessories are also not working, i.e., headlight, indicators, taillamp. Some of the footpegs are in bad condition. The brake shoes have faded. The paint is poor and Yamaha logo is missing. The frame though seems to be quite good and not rusted. The wheel rim and spokes have rusted a bit.
Basic plans on this bike:

Basic plans on this bike:
- FIRST AND FOREMOST: To get the engine done up perfectly
- Clubman Handlebar (if not then clip-ons)
- Wider tyres
- New wheels and spokes (else alloy wheels)
- Rearsets
- Seat/cowl
- Probably a chamber or Proton Silencer
- Mudguards
- A larger round headlamp with small indicators
