This bike RUNS but needs obvious attention. Listing it as a project  for those of you who like to do your own restos.
Core Rebuilder or parts bike. Typical Arizona 'sun roached', but the good part is that there is no corrosion on these bikes. Look at photos closely please; lots of good parts here.
Excellent project bike. This bike has great compression and the motor turns smoothly. Runs great. Wheels look great. Original pipe looks good too.
The '77&'78 D&E model YZ's were landmark bikes, as Yamaha basically took off all of 1976 to develop them. The '76 YZ's were basically nothing more than a 'warmed over' '75 MX line of bikes, just painted yellow.
Rear
Suspension feels very good but front forks will need obvious rebuild. Rims look good. Front tires are usable.
Matching frame & engine numbers 2K8-00xxxx
NO TITLE --- INCLUDES AIRBOX (not shown)
Bike will need cosmetic and partial mechanical resto, but what a great rust free original to start from. Bike is super dirty but is in very good shape underneath all of that crusty crap.
PAYMENT: I am not a big fan of paypal fees, especially on big ticket items like my bikes. If you want to pay me the total amount via paypal, you may do so only if you are willing to pay full price ('buy it now' option). Then I will absorb the fees. If you want to make me a lower offer, then you will need to add the 3% (international add 4%) to our agreed upon price to cover those fees.
Questions?--please call Mike 62three-23six-063six
