While the YSR50 has become relatively commonplace here in the United States, its successor – the TZM50R – is a far-sight rarer. Yamaha released the bike in an effort to rival Honda’s highly successful NSR50.
The TZM’s 49cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine was good for 7 horsepower and 4.5lb-ft of torque — more than output enough to move the little bike’s 170-pound heft. Unlike many other small-displacement singles, it sported an electric start and a set 12″ wheels with disc brakes front and rear.
This example is VIN: 4KJ112002, engine #: 4EU139838. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan; prior history is not known.
The odometer shows 10,709 kilometers (6,654 miles).
Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us install a new battery, clean and tune the carb, rebuild the forks, and replace the oil and oil filter, the transmission oil, the fuel filter, the brake fluid, and the coolant. We also replaced the front brake pads and cleaned the inside of the gas tank.
