Yamaha Scrambler

[rudolph]

I have an old Yamaha scrambler thing, its a 175cc 2 stroke, unsure of model but I think its mid 70s, comes with a spare engine and a few other bits, it had been sitting for meany years and I just put petrol in it and it fired right up and I went for a blast on the track, a bit rough but seems to run well.

Yes I pre mixed it.

Yes it seems to be a stripped down AG175 mid to late 70s with a 70s or early 80s motor I am told

i am pretty sure by 1974 they woulda been past the premix,my dt3 (1973 i think) was ,and my mates dt2(1972)

it has an auto lube system and CDI ignition, the oil lines are missing but there is a set on the spare motor.

Sell it to a American custom shop - they will drop $10k in custom parts on it - paint it matt black and end up with it on a online bike website proclaiming it as the new thing. Then all the old rides in the USA will be purchased, copies and it will become a fad.

You will make f-all out of it but have a story to tell the grand kids.
