Can anyone ID this 30yr old Yamaha ?
It's been given to my neighbour for clearing out a garage and he has no idea what it is 
TIA

The first few digits of the engine/frame number should be Yamahas code number for it - google that and you'll find the model, etc.
I think I've got the workshop manual (PDF) for it, but can't remember for sure. I'm back home tonight and can check if you like.

Yep, 60's Yamaha 80 YG-1, that looks like a non standard fairing off a Honda. Never seen one before with that on.
Check THIS out.

That's pretty cool, especially for zero £! Disc valved even (!), so it should fuel properly.
Is your neighbour going to keep it? I sometimes commute on my TY, and that's surprisingly good even on A roads, as long as you avoid the really
fast roads. Or altenatively just wheelie everywhere, as that tends to convince people to back off.  Only problem is the Yamaha 6v Electrics of
Death, which will be in full force on the YG.

Thanks all, he justs wants a few quid out of it, the last one on ebay went for £77 and was in better nick (although it was mising barrel, head and
piston).
I'm informed it's now lost drive too
