1. XT600 43f (1985) forks. £70
This is the big one. These are the old forks of my XT. (I swapped for DRZ400e forks). The stanchions are in excellent condition, the chrome is great with no rub marks or pitting. The seals are absolutely fine. The boots are a bit tatty but they are complete and Yamaha originals (I think). I.e. not aftermarket crap.
What makes these special nop?
I will tell you what makes them special, the top caps have been replaced with my 1 of a kind, un-patented pre-load caps. Yes you got that, you can adjust the pre-load of these forks without dismantling them! All you need to do is turn the adjuster at the top! These caps also have a schrader valve for old school purists who want to adjust the air pressure as well.
The original Yamaha schrader caps will be included in the sale.
These forks have the original springs and are currently damped with silkolene RSF '2.5wt' oil.
includes free bonus unused set of fork seals!
2. XT yokes (top and bottom). £30
A set of yokes from the forks mentioned above. Not much to say. They are a little tatty but in perfectly useable condition. Although they are not in the picture, the handlebar clamps will be included.
3. Fuel tank. £40
No dents, fuel tap works perfectly, slight 'patina' on the inside but not rusty. A little tatty, but a solid tank with all the stickers intact.
4. Tank scoops. £30
A pair of serviceable tank scoops. The left one has 2 breaks in the plastic. However, the breaks are against the tank so you cannot really see them. The breaks are not on the structural part if the scoops and do not affect their performance.
5. Clocks. £20
My old clocks with rev+tach cables. The bulbs all work and the plugs are still on them. Unfortunately the trip does not work. so you cannot reset the trip meter, however I have read stories of people managing to open and fix them.
6. Speedo. £10
Trip does not work.
7. Barkbusters. £5
pair of. Some mounting bits and pieces are included, not sure if this is a complete set or not, hence low price.
8. 1985 TT600 suspension spring. £15
Not much to say about this one really, could do with a paint.
9. XT600 front wheel (TYRE NOT INCLUDED!). £35
My old front wheel. Unfortunately the wheel has a slight ding from that time I hit a pot hole and 2 spokes have snapped at the nipples. In addition to this, the wheel has the very early signs of wheel cancer that these 1980s D.I.D. rims seem to be prone to. This was treated with a liberal dose of ACF50 the last time I had the tyre changed.
This wheel includes a front disc brake,axle spindle and tacho drive. The bearings are in good condition.
10. XT600 Front brake caliper + Yamaha thundercat master cylinder. £30
A front caliper. The brake pads have plenty meat left. I powder coated this caliper ~2 years ago. Works fine.
11. YZ125 2001 forks. £100
This is a pair of forks from a 2001 YZ125. These are the 46mm Kayabas. The chrome is in excellent condition and they appear to work fine. Included is the yokes although the threads on the top of the headtube are damaged.
12. YZ125 2001 rear whee. £60l
19" rear wheel from a 2001 YZ125. The rim looks fine. You also get the tyre, the rear brake caliper, brake hose and the sprocket!
13. Yamaha thundercat rear caliper and master cylinder. £30
14. Yamaha thundercat front left caliper. £25
15. Box of 250 pro-gold ice racing screws. £15
Do you want to hoon around on ice and snow like a loony? Concerned about the lack of traction? Get these ice racing screws wired into your knoblies and say goodbye sane winter riding. These are not normally available in the UK, I got them delivered from the states ~2 years ago and never used them.
16. Yamaha tundercat right hand clip on handlebar. £25
This includes the switch and throttle cable.
17. Cock flavoured soup.
For people who just cannot get enough of the taste of cocks.
Only kidding, I am keeping this one.
