Current customer rating: (3) based on 13 votes
This bike had been in barn since the mid XX's. It has been cleaned it up bit, replaced the clutch housing and some of the gearbox bearings, wiring loom, ignition coil. The VX is present and fully valid. The frame has been powder coated and is in good condition, the paint work, chrome and saddle are also in good condition. It will look great when it has been finished, and all the original decals replaced. No decals are with it. All parts and spares are readily available on line, we bought most of ours from http://yambits.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=SRXXX
My son was doing the work, but has now gone back to Uni, need the space in my garage, so he put it back together, as it has to go. We have not had it running.
Looks like the chain had come off and got jammed, whoever owned it before then just left it in the barn.
So, bit about the SRXXX history (from Wikipedia)SRXXX (XXXX-XXXX) is single-cylinder, air-cooled, two-passenger motorcycles manufactured in Japan by Yamaha Motor Company as street version of the Yamaha XTXXX ?�� with standard riding posture and styling resembling the Universal Japanese Motorcycles of the XXXXs. It features kickstart, i.e., no electric starter. With de-compressor level and sight glass for top dead centre. XXXX-XXXX models had front disc and rear drum brake. Cast aluminum wheels accepting tubeless tyres.
