    Go the Fizzers !

    Do u have any EXUP cables lying around? :D .......the cables are frayed on all mine I I have a spares bike also) but I did get 1 brand new and cheap from ebay but still looking for its partner (without the $100 price tag).
    I would get 1 of the old ones repaired but dont know of anywhere that does this.

    Also looking for a stator cover as both I have are badly scratched and/or cracked.

    I bought a Venhill workshop cable kit and so I make my own EXUP and YPVS cables.Venhill in the UK will replicate any cable and do an excellent job: http://www.venhill.co.uk
    Remar Cables here in Aus might be worth trying if you are after something local: [size=78%]http://www.remarcables.com.au[/size][size=78%] [/size]

    good morning!
    I have a variety of different rides from a Honda CM90, YDS3, RD350, XS650, Triumph 750 Tiger, CL360 (x2), XL175 and lastly a TX500.
    My most recent project is the YDS3. matching # on casing broke during disassembly!! Will try to weld it. In need of a gas tank and some rubber parts/seat.
    Should be a blast to ride!

    Hey eddoc
    Your current project, the Yamaha yds3 brings back memories as a very good friend of mine bought one new back in the late 60's.
    It performed well on several trips, not the quickest bike but very reliable. From memory they were a little heavy.
    Looking forward to hearing more as you progress and some photos would be most welcome.  :Thumbs_up:

    phil, i used to ride a yd2 which was the previous model where you had to mix your own fuel.was a fantastic bike but if your battery was down would only run on 1 cylinder. sold it and found out the problem later. never seen one since.would love another.

    Yea sadly its a bit like the Fizz.... needs a bit of fine tuning to get it 100% ...... and its not something I want to push home if it wants to play up.
    It needs to be strobe timed and its not something u can do alone ...... a Triumph on the centre stand at 5000RPM does more moves than Lady Gaga on crack.
    Plus it hasnt been started for about 5 years now...so it will be another carby clean yada yada :headbang:

    Plus ... I need my shed!!
