Hi Everyone,
After two weeks pretty much spent on the road and with work up over the ears it's that time again, time for another update! Since the last update I've not only been stuck on a train in a snowstorm, we've also got a whole lot further on the museum.
The entire ceiling is insulated with mineral wood and prepared for drywall. So far we've even managed to get about two thirds of the drywall in place! We've also build a new wall around the waterpump and accumulator of the property. The next step is to get the remaining one third of the drywall in place, plaster over the screws and get a layer of paint on it. When the weather warms up enough we'll cast the floor. Then all that is left is to run the electricity and get the motorcycles in place. It's not done overnight but we're getting there!
On top of that the guys from Yamaha Center were here today and delivered three new objects from the UK including one of Peter Spicers AS3s with 3000km on the meter. They also took the last two AS2Cs (the red and the orange) along with the 'AS2 'Drive''. We really need to get the museum up, we're running out of space!
Until next time!

Hi,
Happy valentines day, hope the day has been good to you so far! Today is a day for the heart, that is why this day is the perfect day to unveil our latest project which will be our main focus the coming weeks. We're doing an AS3 for the band Titan, a young melodic rock band with great potential! This project will be a bit different from all our previous projects and we hope it will help them! Check out the project update.
Be sure to check them out at www.titantheband.com or www.myspace.com/titantheband. They're a new band and as always with new bands it's a struggle to get out and get heard, so do your part if you like them: send the links to your friends, coworkers and families. And if you really like them you can purchase their EP 'Steps' and help some musicians out! Links to stores can be fount below. Take a listen to two of the tracks from the EP below as well!

Hello,
The update today is actually a four parter. It could have been a five parter but instead you get four now and one later!
Starting things of: we got a brand new side cover for the orange AS2C in the mail from the US, now it is truly complete. Head on over to the project update and take a look.
We got 6 frames back after getting them sandblasted, now they're nothing but clean gray metal. Over the year they will get put back together. Three of them are AS3 frames and three are AS1 frames. All the paperwork to get them registered is ready, all they need is a coat of paint and then we can get started.
During the last few months we've been in contact with fellow enthusiast Greg in Australia and have helped him out with his restoration of an AS3. He just sent us a picture of his progress so far and it's looking good! We'll be following his progress with his bike over coming months!
We have also received a whole bunch of pictures from our friend Per in Norway of his top notch AS1. It is actually the bike he first owned when he was 15 and he has restored to top condition.
Keep your eyes peeled during the week for the next update!

Hi,
Due to a snowstorm this update is two days late! This has been the coldest January since 1987, apart from that the only time it has been colder was in 1942. Cold is the word to sum things up!
Even though it has been cold as hell, we've still managed to complete the restoration of the second orange AS2C! Check it out in the project update.
When we first started with our restorations we didn't even think we would find a single AS2C, but thanks to a bit of luck, contacts through the website and a lot of effort we've managed to find a few. Now the last two restorations have both been AS2Cs!

Hi everyone,
Here come the somewhat overdue update. Unsurprisingly we've continued working on the orange AS2C, it's almost done now. Take a look at the project update!
A few days ago we got an email from fellow Yamaha enthusiast Martin in Switzerland with pictures of some of his motorcycles. Feast your eyes on these beauties.

Hi everyone,
Happy new decade to all! We'll start of the year with some great news. We've finished digitizing the part guides for the AS1 and AS2, both the regular models and scrambler versions, and the AS3. You'll be able to find them permanently in the FAQ/Help section (previously the Walkthrough section) and below! You may have them for personal use, hope this helps you in your own projects!

Hi,
Today I have some very exciting and long awaited news but before I get to that let's go over the regular things.
We have a brand new build update on the second orange AS2C, it'll be our main project for the rest of the holidays so hopefully we'll make good progress.
Now to the really important news: Over the past few months I've mentioned that we were in the process of developing replica seats for the AS1 and AS2 models. Well, now we've finally received the finished product! They consist of a fiberglass baseplate that has been molded of the original metal, it's identical to the original except for the material. Not that unexpectedly they use a foam cushion, again molded after the original. And finally they use a fake leather exterion that's been chosen to as closely as possible look like Yamahas original. They are true to the original seats in every possible way.
Now why did we develop these seats? In the beginning our plan was to get enough seats for our own restorations seeing as they are next to impossible to get a hold of. Over the time it has taken us to develop them we've been contacted by quite a few of you who also need seats for your restorations so we've decided to offer them up for sale. Initially we'll send an order for a bunch of seats early next year (second week of january), both for ourselves and also for those of you who need seats.
Those of you who've already contacted us, I'll send out information about the seats to you. If you've contacted us about the seats but don't receive and email from me in the next day or two, send us another email yourselves, I've got quite the list of people to go through :)
For those of you who want seats, send me an email at: joacim@yamaparts.com
Now, the moment you've been waiting for: pictures of the seats!

Hi
After what might apear to have been a longer intermission that normal, we're back for christmas. The truth of the matter is that most of what we've been doing has been behind the scenes type of stuff, not that fun to read or write about...
Well now we have two new projects, or zero depending on how you view it. More than a year ago we got an orange AS2C from England, last christmas we disassembled it but then a lot of other motorcycles came in between. So now after almost a year of nothing we're starting up the second orange AS2C project! As of now not much has happened, we've merely put the frame on the bench, but it's a start! Where last year we disassembled it over christmas, we'll put it back together this year.
And the second new project is also a bit of an old project. We've decided to do a complete restoration on our 'AS1 'Drive'' project. After the great result we got with the 'AS2J 'Drive'' project we felt that the AS1 wasn't quite up to scratch so we've decided to do a complete restoration instead. At the moment we're disassemblind it and sending it to Bassels to get painted, when it returns it'll be blue. Hence the project name: AS1 Blue2. A fun fact is that the very first restoration project we did on the site was a blue AS1, now we've come full circle and are restoring a new blue AS1.
Other than that we received a whole bunch of pictures from our friend Robson in Brazil from a big classic bike meet in Rio de Janeiro. A lot of nice bikes and even more sunshine, something missing in the cold dark north.

We've managed to get a hold of a NOS marine blue fuel tank for the AS3. It's amazing to see what is still out there, all of these parts have been out of production for decades yet somehow parts still in their original box turn up now and then. It's exciting to think about the amount of things that lay gathering dust in storage all over the world. In the end someone either discovers it or it's destroyed by time. I can't help but wonder what we'll find next.

Hi,
You know all those motorcycles we got a few weeks back? Well, now we've completely disassembled every last one of them! All that's left is a mountain of parts. To summarize things: we've got material for a number of new projects, though none that we will start right now, and a ton of spare parts.
We just received two brand new exhaust pipes for our AS3 Europa project from our friend Jean-Louis in France, they even had the original price tags on them: 297 Franc.
On top of that we've repaired a generator for future use, we recently got hold of a new AS1 generator, as a bonus in that trade we got another new AS1 generator that was damaged for parts. It turns out the damage was a crack in the cast aluminium ring at the bottom making it impossible to fit on a motorcycle. Luckily we had a spare ring for the generator, the result: another new working generator.

Hi everyone!
As always when there's a lot of things to do, time just never seems to be enough. However there is always a point when things start to ease up and you find yourself with more time on your hands than you expect, now if that's because you have less to do or if you're just better at getting things done compared to before varies.
The point is that after two weeks of little activity it's time to get moving once more! Ironically we hit a new weekly record in the number of visitors to the site week 42. On average we have more than 150 unique visitors each day with a lot of you visiting more than just once, a number that seemed like a distant dream not long ago.
Now on to the real news! We've put the AS2J 'Drive' back together again and taken it out for a test drive, it runs like a dream. You can see the finished result on the project page along with the same video of the test drive as below. Annoyingly the battery in the camera died about the same time as it started raining so the video ends a bit abruptly.
One of the first people we got in contact with when we started restoring the 125s a few years back was a man named Jan from Norway, he was a big help for us. He's recently uploaded a couple of videos of his AS3 up and running on youtube, you should check them out!

Hi
It has been a few intense weeks here at Yamaparts, both with the motorcycles and in the rest of my life. We've just had four (4!) new bikes delivered! Two AS3 and two AS1. And three of them are in surprisingly good condition, fit for restoration. One of the AS3s though was a bit worse but it can still be used for parts, it's the one on the bench with the crazy handlebar! But still, overall they are nice, the paint is not terribly faded which is a good sign though you can never know for sure until you open them up!
Unfortunately I have a bit of bad news: due to a bit of a scheduling issue my time is severely limited the coming two weeks so the updates will be a bit further apart and I won't be able to answer all the questions we get as quickly as before but don't fear, I will answer them :)
And before that: the second red AS2C project is complete! We have a full gallery up as well, you can find it here. The nice thing about this AS2C is the fact that all the painted parts apart from the frame and swing arm, the frond and rear fender and the seat are all brand new original parts! Finding the parts are getting harder and harder but we managed to pull this one together!

Hi everyone!
Today we've got a new update on the second red AS2C, it's as good as complete now, just a few missing pieces.
The AS2J we got for the AS2J 'Drive' project recently is turning out better and better. With a bit of cleaning and polish the finish on the side covers is almost as good as new. Granted there's a few scratches here and there but overall it looks great! We'll probably use it as a up and running show bike and drive it to various shows, the regular restorations run better because of their complete overhauls but driving them damages them so it's good to have a bike that won't take a noticeable hit when driven.

Hi,
Today we have two new project updates for you! One of them is on the 'AS3 'Europa'', it's in pieces now and ready to get sandblasted. The other one is a brand new project aptly named 'AS2J 'Drive''. We got a new AS2J from Germany a few days ago, it has only been drived 7000km and is in great condition so we decided that we would get it up and running! We got it cheap as well, it had been listed as Yamaha Baujahr 71 on the German ebay so pretty much no one found it :)

Hi!
Tonight we have two updates, both of which have been plagued with mishaps and ironically so have this update itself. After attempting to upload the pictures for tonights update time and time again to no avail I was extremely close to giving up out of pure frustration. Every time I tried to upload them they would start alright but then loose connection halfway through. Fortunately it worked at last so we could bring you the latest news! We have one update of the 'AS3 'Europa'' and one of the second red AS2C!
Until next time!

Hi,
Tonight we have a whole slew of updates. The final update on the 'AS1 'Drive'' project is in place, the skies cleared up long enough to give me time to take the pictures.
When we started with the walkthroughs a few updates back we used the AS2C we were restoring as the base for them, what we realized is that since the scrambler is different in quite a few places compared to regular model all the walkthroughs were filled with remarks about the differences and became a bit confusing. So we decided that we will use another bike as the base for the walkthroughs and just restore the AS2C as we normally would, that means it'll go a lot quicker :). You can see the update here.
We've also got a new project, the AS3 Europa, we got the bike from Germany which meant it was the AS3 Europa version that was sold in Western Germany. We've received a lot of AS3s from Germany, they have all been the Europa version, but we've always converted them to the regular version. For once we decided to keep is in the original Europa version.

Despite the bad weather we've been having down here we got a quick little video of the AS1 up and running! With the new breakers and capacitors it starts with the very first kick, runs smoothly in idle and revs well. A quick pull of the throttle sends it up on the back wheel, not bad. The funny thing is that mechanically all we did was clean the engine out, replace the cylinder heads and put new spark plugs in place. The cylinder heads were even used ones that we had cleaned before! The carburettors did get a complete overhaul though, they were ok but it's an easy thing to do and usually makes the bike run much smoother.
There is quite a bit of smoke coming from the left exhaust, both the exhaust pipes have been cleaned as good as possible, however since the left cylinder was running a bit off before (It was full of residue of something, no idea what) there is a good bit of oil left in the left pipe. It will burn off with time though :)
A general tip when you've restored one of these old motorcycles: in all the guides and workshop manuals it says that you need to run the first tank of petrol with oil in it, this is because the oil lines are empty when starting the bike for the first time. This combined with the tight fit of a new engine means that it can easily cease and break when the temperature rises because of the added friction.
You can get around this by manually turning the sprocket for the oil pump until you see the oil reach the cylinders (At least it can be done with the Yamaha 125s), then it will be lubricated as usual when you start it, even for the first time. Though it's a good precaution to have some oil in the tank just in case.
