The time has come to let someone else have the pleasure of owning my YB6.
I am a great believer that we are just custodians of these fantastic machines.
She was first registered in the UK in 2001 but bought from BAT’s in 1999. So she is an originally a “Japanese” bike. I am the third UK owner and bought her in May 2012.
The reason for the sale is that since my purchase I have not ridden her, even one solitary mile. Indeed the last MOT was back in 2009. When I purchased her I did have a full ground up service done which cost over £1000, this included the following:-
1. Strip and rebuild front forks with new seals and fluid.
2. Replaced front wheel bearings.
3. Replaced head stock bearings.
4. Replaced rear wheel bearings.
5. Replaced sprocket carrier bearings.
6. Removed rear swing arm, bearings checked.
7. Ignition switch re wired due to fault.
8. Plugs replaced.
9. Air filter checked and OK.
10. Carburettor’s and fuel system cleaned.
11. Replaced all brake fluid and re bled.
12. Replaced clutch fluid and re bled.
13. New brake pads (Carbone Lorraine) fitted.
14. New stronger clutch springs fitted to stop clutch slip.
15. Later Clutch cover installed, so as topping up of oil is easier.
However saying that she has sat for nearly three years so some of this work may well have to be re visited.
She is currently on SORN.
She WILL have a full MOT and be serviced before being sold.
Serious enquiries only please and pictures will be sent on request.
PS: MY YB4 may well be available soon as well.
