Please note: In order to get the bike running for the listing, we had to bump start it and run it off of a bottle. The inside of the tank is rusty, and the low compression makes it difficult to kick over.
The Yamaha YSR50 was the most common of the rare 50cc sportbikes that came from Japan in the late 80s and early 90s. An instant classic, the YSR50 was always street legal and always seems to put a smile on the face of riders and spectators.
Built to look like a mini RZ500, the YSR50 also featured mini performance. The 49.3cc two-stroke engine was capable of pushing the bike up to 38 miles per hour, but companies like Team Calamari have been making stock performance numbers useless with years of aftermarket parts and performance modifications if you are so inclined.
This example is VIN: 2AL021408.
The odometer shows 7,932 kilometers (4,928 miles).
Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us rebuild the carbs and replace the battery and intake manifold gaskets. We also performed a compression test, during which we found that the bike has low (120PSI) compression. Alex did the work, he notes the following in his condition report:
Tire Year Front/ Rear: 2001 / 2001
Tire Life % Front/ Rear: 90 / 40
Tire Pressure – Front/Rear: 30 PSI
Brake Life % – Front/ Rear: 70 / 60
Hydraulic Fluid – Front: Bad
Oil Tank – Ok
Oil – Level: Ok; Quality: Ok
Low Beam: OK
High Beam: OK
Turn: NON-FUNCTIONAL
Tail Light: OK
Brake Light: OK
Plate Light: Ok
Kill: OK
Horn: OK
Battery:6 Volt, NEW
Accordingly, Alex recommends replacing the chain, the turn signal relay, and the snapped bolt in the tail section. He also suggests a full fluid flush with fresh brake fluid and engine oil.
Modifications:
Tail tidy.
Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
Inside of the tank:
It is riding on Bridgestone Molas-17 tires that have aged out.
The sale includes two keys.
