this is the yamaha vmax that had been hibernating in a shed since 2001 it was very rusty and most parts were seized , the carbs were solid and took over 10 hours to clean . the fuel tank was half full of the most discusting stale petrol ever , there was a mouse nest under the seat and the clutch and brakes were solid
Blimey Newk, I’d have walked away from that one but you have done a great job there.
So what engine paint do you recommend?
i only use a satin black heat resistant paint from a company called yambits its quite expensive but is very good check out my cb550 cafe racer post
That was one crusty Vmax…was it a full power model? I remember the hoo hah when they were launched.
You put some work into that as ID said
Great resto Newk.
The front forks on those always look very spindly when compared the the size of the rest of the bike.

Even many 125s seem to have meaty USD forks now!
The width of tyreshas changed so much too. The tyres on my RD350 seem so narrow now
