Included is the owner’s manual, hop manual, nd original KM Speedometer. This bike is beyond super fun to ride and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to own a 4 cylinder two-stroke. It is a very comfortable ride, ransmission shifts very smooth and all the chassis modifications make it handle extremely well over stock. The body plastic on this bike is not all cracked and shows no evidence I could find that the bike has been down (also shared by previous owner). The bottom cowl is not the stock one but the improved heavier fiberglass version from Rick Lance (I believe the OEM ones were prone to cracking). During my ownership, did not have to make any major modifications as this bike was like it was custom built for me. I did however (thanks to my friend who is a schooled factory motorcycle mechanic) improve upon the drivability and loud intake sound by adding the stock air box / UNI Filter combination as well as adding Ivan’s needle set upgrade. Below is a list of the modifications I have made to the bike since my ownership which will add an additional 750 miles of riding (totaling about 1450 miles on the restoration);- Stock Airbox and new UNI foam Filter
- Ivan’s Needles
- Matching Yamaha MPH Speedo I purchased and brought back from England (except needle pointer is all orange)
- RZV Mirrors
The bike has fresh anti-freeze and transmission oil as of this year and all other fluids have been rotated as needed during my ownership. It has an AGM Battery I replaced last year. The bike has not been down during my ownership and always stored in my winter heated and summer dehumidified garage.
