Welcome from  Tennessee I’m sure you have been to Isle of Man TT those guys are nut’s going that fast

        

Welcome from Western Oregon.

Hello. My name is Dale Meyers. I learned to ride on a new at the time 1964 Yamaha YG1T 80 Trailmaster and 1965 Honda CT200Trail 90. Soon graduated to a 1966 Triumph TR6C, desert setup. Had a 1968 Honda CL350 that we rode quite a bit in the desert. Lived in Spain for a while (USAF, Torrejon Air Base) and had a 1973 Triumph T100R Daytona which I rode quite a bit almost everywhere. Now, many years later, I own a: 1985 Yamaha IT200, 2001 WR426F, 1999 YZ125, 2006 Kawasaki KLX300, 1996 Honda XR200r, 2001 XR250r, 1998 XR400r, 1996 Z50r, 2004 CRF450, 1981 CT110. They all work fine but for blown shocks on the IT200 and YZ125. No problem on the YZ but not so easy with the IT with the somewhat oddball Yamaha/Soki shock. Shock shaft is worn and Epay cores are mostly in worse shape, damaged or butchered.

Welcome to the group.

Hi all,

I'm kind of new to forums so bear with me. My name is Sullivan and I am slowly getting into motorcycles. Currently I have a '71 CT1 that I bought as scrap, and I have spent the last 4 months working on it and it is so close to running! I am running into issues that I do not know how to solve, and a friend told me that the best place to get helpful answers would be a forum.

Just post away with what you have done and what your non running symptoms are (eg are you getting a spark?) and you will get loads of help. 

Greetings from Tennessee.    
 I also have a 71 CT1C 

Welcome from the Space Coast of Florida. As GR8UNCLEAL said post up what the issue is and someone will jump in to help you out. This is a great place for help!!!

Hi All, I am new to the forum. Where do I start? I am 55 living in Florida and was given a project a 1972 LT2 100 Yamaha. While not my primary work (Radiation physics) I always loved getting older vehicles back to life. Well a 50 year old bike does need some tlc. Got it running but way too much oil burn. I have so far replaced crank shaft seals (wet side seal completely off), rebuilt and cleaned carb, rebuilt oil pump, cleaned and coated fuel tank, put on new tires, tubes, rim tape. Now the bike runs well! It only has 980 miles on it! I will be searching this site for the valuable information it contains and wanted to say thank you. I also drive and race a 2005 Lotus Elise and not a bike but still has a Yamaha head . I am sure I will have questions but promise to be diligent with my search first.
