October 17, 20169 yr Picked this up with the little yamaha just now Believe it's a g3... Not sure if it is a trials model but it is in trials trim The rain makes it look better than it is Any ideas on correct id
October 17, 20169 yr Author Thanks for that..as I thought not a trials... Has a nice look to it though.. Probably leave as is and let someone else have the fun of sorting it Thanks again
October 17, 20169 yr As Deryk said it may not be a correct trials model, but you have the main elements of a load of fun there. Despite what the moaners would say about expensive "Pre65" bikes,there are plenty of trials to ride where you could have a days fun with a load of like minded folk. What you do need is the will,effort,knowledge and cash to get that bike up to scratch. It is a VERY satisfying thing to do,especially if you do the bike yourself,you don't need to spend thousands or have the very latest this or that,just make it reliable and have all the controls working smoothly.Four of us rode rigids around the South Birmingham Greensmith Memorial trial yesterday, two BSA's and two AMC's, none of them are trick,just well sorted.We had a day out I will remember for a long time,brilliant fun.
October 18, 20169 yr Author I totally agree..it would be a fun bike.. But I am in the middle of a couple of other restorations that have merged into rebuilds.. And this is a big project and it won't get time for a good while.. I will have a good look over the weekend and decide which way to go... It really needs someone with a shed full of spares to sling at it..
October 31, 20169 yr Author Well ...compression was good so I thought what have I to loose.. Freed everything off ...carb is spotless...flushed engine ...Everything doing what it should...snapped plug of flush????bugger... Head off got that sorted ....magneto just sent off tonight for rebuild as it was dead as a dodo ...so hopefully good to go when it comes back... Does anyone have a tatty seat they don't want...probably a single sprung job would do ..nothing to clean!
