1967 Yamaha YL1 twin jet two stroke twin

[DVS 69]

I i have recently been given the bike i learned to ride on, id like to get it running again as its been in the family ages ....... Im just wanting to know if anybody has any info, manuals, parts etc for a bike like this. id really like to put some expansion chambers on it evenutally, im told back in the day there was a "hot up" kit availble for them. One thing i do need is a kick start as that broke years ago. I remember the days when grandad would get home an id race to the shed to get a wiff of the two stoke fumes i love that smell to this day. Anyway any info as i said would be great :yes:

I've owned 2 of these before, one a 6V one and the other a 12V one. Mine were both 4 speeds.
I know a bit about them if you want to PM me.

Ive found a workshop service manual off www.e-classicbike.com. Oh an the kickstart hits the exhaust pipe so im gunna get that modded (not that it needs a massive kick ta start it running anyway) looking at getting the wiring redone, i got a mate whos a sparkie an he seems fairly keen.;)

Which wiring diagram do you want ? 6volt with rectifier and AC generator or 12volt with a Regulator and DC generator .
I have both wiring diagrams....

Heya,...you have to show a pic of your YL-1 to us fans here.

Here's a pic of one I had back in 1993.

Do you still have this bike or know of a similar bike or parts thanks

...I reckon you'd be a lucky man if it's still around after seven years...stranger things happen at sea though...

I have a genuine Yamaha YL 1 service manual which I don't need.
Either $25 plus postage from here or it'll be at the Hororata swap meet on the 16th of this month...

Dear member, I have a Yamaha YL-1, 1970, with the 6 Volt system, as sold here in Holland.
The electricity at the moment is a mess and I would like to bring this to specs.
Could you help me with a electric diagram for this bike?
All costs will be payed of course by me.
Kind regards,
Hans
