Thump thump

Well, that feels nice to be back on the old Yamaha again. Had a few of these over the years, one I sold in London when I moved across here, another when we moved house here, though that one had done 80,000kms and needed some serious work
So, bought the first one (the blue one) which dates from June 1987 and has a recorded 29,324kms on it. Runs really well, but needs the steering head bearing looking at as it tramlines all over the place

Second one is from June 1983, with a recorded 50000-odd kms, but the speedo doesn't work, so this was bought for spares, but having spent a morning faffing around with it, it's too good to break, so it's gonna be a spare bike

Blue one here.

The black one with a ding in the tank, which even I should be able to fill and paint



The carport is now a bikeport again, well, with a couple of lawnmowers too

Great fun, and cheap as chips to run. So the GSA won't be getting dumped off road in the Alps so often

Hi Franco,
I've been giving a lot of thought to getting a cheap Tenere to play with. There see that there are quite a few on Leboncoin but any advice on what to look for, fault-wise would be appreciated.

to be honest, the engines are so easy to work on, as long as the spares are available, shouldn't be a problem. If it's cheap, and it runs, just buy it and enjoy tinkering. If it blow up, buy another....
