1981 Yamaha YZ60 VERY Cold Start
Still purrs like a kitten, although it was like 37 degrees out when I filmed this . (That’s why it was extra smokey, even for a 2 stroke)

It’s almost aggravating, to have it sitting, and no other projects coming…. I might just accept the next offer of 1500 that comes along… (I’ve gotten several offers of this amount already)Awesome work. It really sounds good and the difference in appearance is night and day.
Good Job! Keep stuff like this coming!

Nice work bringing that old YZ60 back to life, cleaning up a seized motor is no small task. The tank fade is pretty common on plastics that old; repainting or using a restoration kit might be the only way to get it back to solid yellow. Don’t give up on it yet; it’s a cool project.
. Working on a 1985 honda xr80r right now. (I made a new thread for it)
