Yamaha YZ description

1983 Yamaha YZ 125K in excellent running condition.  I purchased this bike two years ago in original condition to race in vintage motocross races here in Florida.  I have had a blast racing it and have been fairly successful, frequently finishing in first or second in the 1980-1985 Open Class (all cc size bikes).  I now want to purchase a pre 1975 vintage motocross bike.  As you can see in the pictures, I use aftermarket number plates when I race as the originals are rare.  The aftermarket plates are not included with the bike.

1983 was a great year for the YZ 125.  Yamaha had figured out water-cooled engines by this point, as well as '83 being the first year for Yamaha Power Valve, which helps with low end torque as well as top end speed.

As I mentioned earlier, I bought this bike as an original survivor.  All plastics are OEM Yamaha that have been polished.  I get a ton of compliments regarding them.  The front fender is NOS, as this is the only piece of plastic that is still readily available. 

I have had all the following done to the bike since owning it.  All engine work professionally done by a vintage motorcycle shop here in Jacksonville, FL.  

-New top and bottom end to include cylinder bore, new piston and ring, and new crank and bearings.  Less than 5 hours. This alone cost $1500
-Complete Carburetor disassembly with cleaning and rejetting
-New original Reed Valves
-New water impeller with water seal
-All new engine gaskets
-Front forks and rear monoshock rebuilt
-New front and rear Michelin XC intermediate terrain tires with new tubes and rim locks
-New O-ring Chain 
-New Front and Rear Sprockets
-New Front Brake Cable
-New Air Filter

I do not have a title for it.  Ebay made me put something.

Yamaha U.S. Increasing Club Level Road Racing Contingency

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

The state of road racing in America is hurting, there’s no doubt about that. But at least Yamaha is stepping up to the plate and increasing its contingency program for club level road racers 50% over last year. According to Yamaha, the program is designed to encompass a broad spectrum of road racing series across the U.S., from numerous club-level and regional sprint series events to the AMA Pro Road Racing series, including the addition of the ASRA Team Challenge Endurance Series.

Isle of Man TT 2013: Monster Energy Supersport Race 2 Results

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

The Michael Dunlop Show continues with the 24-year-old Northern Irish racer winning his fourth race of the 2013 Isle of Man TT. His latest triumph was a victory in the second Monster Energy Supersport race, making Dunlop just the third rider to ever record four wins in a single TT week. Like his win in the Royal London 360 Superstock race, Dunlop ran most of the race in second place before setting a blazing final lap time for a come-from-behind win.
