Great start, keep in mind that the overall performance in the end will be about the whole bike . Brakes, tires, suspension , all those little adjustments with you in tune is what will make the ride !
I know yamadude i know. Ive worked on cars on the side of my "parts" job for awhile. I will check everything before a dyno run.Hey Collin,
Welcome to the site. You'll find everything you'll need here in advice.
I got my '80 in similar condition. Just returned from Acadia National Park, Maine. What a great place to ride.
Good luck with the project.
Please make sure everything is hunky dory with the bike before putting it on a dyno. The dyno process will superstress the engine. First fix the sump screen which will likely be torn, and clean the oil screen behind the right hand case. Fresh oil, everything adjusted correctly on the engine.
Thanks for the advise timemachine. I plan on checking out my local yamaha store and my other local powersports store. Once i get here done and ready to ride im gonna take her to the powersports dyno in town and see what she makes for power as far as health goes. I believe the 80 made 55hp so my goal is that possibly more if i can tune the carbs well enough and open the exhaust a little bit.
