I only bought this local to me today. Fcuk knows why as i have little enough space as it is, but i'm a sucker for a powervalve. It was lying under a tarpaulin for 3 years untill today. So i slung it in the van, brought it home, sprayed it down with double TT and hosed it off. The top fairing and belly pan are missing and the tank has a dent in the side and top but mint inside. Apart from that and a steering damper fitting kit on it, it is totally unmollested. Not a bolt missing or panel cracked anywhere. Matching numbers and one (genuine yam) key does all. Turns over nice with good compression. But will not get a chance to clean carbs, fresh fuel, battery, etc to get it running with work commitment in the next few weeks No idea what i want with it. So may sell on or break it or even hybrid it some way or another.

It would be like selling your kids body parts for money. Somebody must want this.

Cleaned the carbs and tank out. Removed air filter as it was fcuked. Put in fresh petrol and a new battery. Turned the key - Werr werr went the ypvs servo. Pulled the choke and she started first kick. Wow.
Let it run to about 1/4 on temp gauge and mildly bliping throttle no high than 3grand. Repeated this process every 1/2 hour only increasing revs by a grand each time.
She's reving clean as a whistle.
There's no way this is being broke now.
Neighbour has already offered me £1000 but i told him to do one.
Mot next friday, then tax, then it'll be riden this summer.
