YSR Now On The Road

[Kickstart]

Hi

Well, the YSR is now registered so it can be used on the roads.

https://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/TempPicture/YsrRegistered.JPG

So it would be rude for me not to take it for a spin. Short ~12 mile run round the block.

Vibrates a fair amount, but never had a bike that goes round the speedo so quickly (but then the speedo doesn't read that high). Also never had something so keen to go off the end of the speedo (again, not exactly quick).

Got the speedo needle round to just past the turn warning light . So a bit over 80kmh / 50mph indicated.

All the best

Keith

Hi

Been out on it again. About another 45km. Getting used to it. And pushed it a bit quicker. Will have to put the GPS on it to see how far out the speedo is. Speedo needle has now managed to get 3/4 of the way round the dial.

All the best

Tidy looking bike, though the tyres make it look like a monkey bike or a glorified mini moto lol!

Excellent!

Tidy little bike you got there, shame you've had to start considering the stoage space your bikes take up now though

[Kickstart]

Hi

Its small. It fits in a small space in the garage, just next to a Bandit engine and a ZZR600 engine.

All the best

There was a YSR for sale on eBay in excess of £700. I'd love to have one, it'd look good aside the monkey bike.

My little 110cc engine managed to get the GPS to read 45.9mph, feels quite fast when you're inches from the ground.

Hi

Not going to swap a CR500 engine in for the performance required.

All the best

Hi

Took the YSR out earlier in the week and it misbehaved. Landed up getting home with a 6000rpm idle. New reed block arrived so decided to fit it and have a look.

Fitted the Boyson reeds to the new reed block. Checked the compression (150psi, so nothing wrong there). Checked for play in the end of the crank (none). However found the problem is that the choke mechanism has disappeared! Probably vibrated out. Not something you expect to find missing.

Ho hum, more fiddling required.

All the best

Said this before, it'd be cool to have a go at some tinkering.

[Kickstart]

That could be a tad worrying.

All the best

Hi

It will carry luggage. Went shopping on it. Luckily the tank bag expands.

Changed a fork seal yesterday on it. Doddle to do, although slightly worrying that the only thing holding the forks together is a circlip (no bolt at the bottom, nor provision for one).

All the best
