Nothing like the Sound of a 2 Stroke !!!!!!!!!.
Good for you
LOL, testing the premix pumps in a Yamaha is A waste of time, I've never found one that didn't work and I've had Yamahas for 50 years. The most common question I got on my 76 RD 400 was did I bypass the oil pump, I would always answer, why would I do something so stupid. LOL
I had for my first dirt bike a osa 250 was a desert bike basket case lasted a long time if you can nd one there amazing bikes my heart would flip to see one again
Port it and an expansion chamber and you got something.
Wow I remember that bike very well a neighbor when I was a kid had one, same color. I wish the bike makers now a days would make the old style enduros. Happy as hell on the pavement and delivered the fun on the dirt.
Thanks fer sharing and thanks fer the ride..
Don't put grease on the points cam, just put a good few drops of light oil (3 in 1) on that felt wick that's positioned about 7 o'clock between those 2 coils 👍
Great job !! ☺ Wish I had that bike ☺☺
I picked recently a 1980 Honda XR 75. My wife had used one as a teen and we found this one at a reasonable price. I have one of those big fat mini bikes sold from Lowes.
Hopefully having to adjust the clutch will teach you what the rubber clutch plate tension rings are for. 😄

The first time for this vidio for me a lot of Japenes bikes had those rubber rings for the reason you sugesred ive left them out a little more noise but otherwise they worked the same .
Were you offered to sell it
Peppy It has lots of go, just right for trail and mild enduro, Your next fix should be 500 cc, Stu from Ontario
This bike was so a part of my teen years. I really loved the compression release brake on it.
