Bonjour Christian, et merci pour les compliments. Mais qui est ce Gégé que je dois féliciter pour son travail ? ;-)

@@micoumeekoo Bonjour ! J'avais compris dans les autres vidéos que les prises de vues étaient faites par un certain Gégé ! pardon je me suis trompé ! En tout cas j'aime vraiment tes vidéos ! 👍👍👍

@@christianbargain560 Pas de soucis, j'ai effectivement un Gégé parmi mes copains. Il m'a quelques fois tourné quelques scènes dans quelques vidéos. Sinon, je fais tout moi même avec la GoPro sempiternellement posée sur le ventre. Le Gégé en question est aussi un super restaurateur et branché lui aussi sur les vieilles Yam.

Hello. The turn signals are not modified, they are the standard ones fitted by Yamaha for the french and european market. With the homologation being different from a country to another, the turn signals, headlight and tail light could different in different countries.

I had an RT1. Scariest thing for kickback ever. I ripped the back of my heel open kicking it - it threw my foot back up into the rear foot peg. After a while I bump started it. Motherless thing. But God I’d love to have it now. That and my RD350 from 74. Groan.

Know what you mean had the 71 model.

@@smidon I too had a rt1. Upon disassembly, noticed the decompression valve was cracked in half. Real hard on my calves.

Hello Mark. I did myself the cutaway engine with worn parts. I think RT2 where crystal silver nearly everywhere in the world, but I own a japanese brochure showing this charcoal grey color. I find it more classy. Coming probably tomorow : a new video of my Yamaha XT 250. I also painted it in a japanese sheme from a brochure..

Hello. The front tire is a genuine 19' Dunlop Trial Universal found with the original Yamaha wrapping and with the Yamaha part number tag ! The french importer asked for 21 inches front wheel. The rear one is a south east asian product : Vee rubber, with the correct paved look like in the seventies.

@@micoumeekoo Thank you very much for your answer. I will check, which Vee Rubber might suit my bikes. I recently restored two 70ties dirt bikes, which had over 30 year old Metzeler Enduro tires. They had perfect looking profile design - very classic, like on your Yamaha. Now I have mounted new Mitas E05 (front) and Bridgestone TW24 (rear). They also have the typical classic trial design, but slightly too fine pattern. The next tires shall have the perfect classic look. That's why, I asked you.

Hello. it's more and more difficult to find parts for this rare bike in Europe, but they have been sold by thousands in the USA. So boneyards, swap meet and eBay can be good purveyors. Search also at cmsnl.com. They have a lot of small new old stock usefull parts. Good luck.

Hello Karl. Are you talking about the 2 spark plug holes for only one cylinder ? I have no explanation, but nearly all the Yamaha 2 stroke trail bikes had these 2 holes. And the Kawasaki 125 KE, 250 F11 and 350 Big Horn had the same, and also the Suzuki TS 400 and TS 250. We used to fit a manual compression release in the second hole, or a second "spare" spark plug.

Yes, it happens to me too, with a 250 DT2 ! It's when there is not enough firing advance set at the contact breaker. It was at a red light. When it turns green, I hit the car behind me !

it was popular for the guys owning these 360's to get the frames plastic powdercoated after awhile inbetween surfing and doing wheelies or tearing up the parks. I didn't find the company that powder coated, it so ended up in a hurry stripping it down and hand painting the frame red with red oil paint by brush it looked pretty good too. probably the only red frame 360 ever . Then sprayed it white with flash union jack badges on the tank . A year after that then I sprayed it mat desert colour and put on Afika Kor palm trees on the tank that didn't go down well with all the old fogies who fought at el alamein. Dam it looked the business. I left it like that , then my younger brother borrowed it after awhile , left it in the park unlocked, brainless twit, and it was stolen. son of a bitch never ever said sorry ....... UNFORGIVEN

I just want to ad all us surfers rode Yamaha 360's and we scored chicks. Npw I'm bikeless and no chick bumer . anyway all is good caus I cant trust chicks these days they all cookoo fucking entitled libtaaaaards 'n gold diggers
