I'm Daz from Surrey and own an '87 Genesis. I know its a pre exup, but thought I'd come along and join the party
Looks a lot better in a picture than in the metal, as most do, but it's not a bad old thing, with the usual battle scars. I've done the oil change,plugs,filter bit and have flushed the brown sludge and filled with proper coolant. I've fitted dyna coils, K&N filter and fitted a set of R1 calipers along with braided lines (which are proving a pita to bleed) the bug bear I have at the moment is the fuel pump. I've fitted new points, but something is amiss. fires up ok, but after a couple of minutes, dies and wont restart. Sure I'll get to the bottom of it...
Be good to meet up at a few meets this year.
Its a old Yamaha so you are more than welcome here!
Nice to see it's still in it's original paint after all this time.

I think that most of the ones with any kind of damage to the fairings get fightered, due to being so cheap.I brought mine as I'm a big fan of the twin headlight endurance racing look, from the eighties. I'm not going to go overboard on the bodywork,just tidy it up a bit and get the fairing brackets and other parts that have got manky in the last 27 years powder coated to make it look a bit better, then get on and enjoy it.
