got a BW80

TeamCheap · 11-23-2011, 05:44 AM

Went for a little drive :roll: and got myself a yamaha big wheel 80 its rough but it runs.

The gooseneck is loose and I hope its just going to take a new set of bearings.

I want to get the honda equal to it at some point.

Strap it to the back of the new home.

Those are neat little two-strokes. My buddy has one, and the only problem has been getting the float level set properly. Once we got that done, it has been a blast!

He mounted an atv tire to the back, rather than an OEM size. I think it was a Duro, and it was a really decent price.

CALM DOWN ...calm down............pictures are coming very soon.
After last nights black rain (it was very dark) today is looking very nice with perfectly sunny skies.

I got home with it at midnight, woke up at 4:30 got ready for work and havnt even gotten it off the trailer or even unhooked the trailer from the trailblazer yet.

I am going out to unload it and take pictures in a few minutes.

Here she is ......not pretty to look at but I'm happy with it....so far.

katoranger · 11-23-2011, 04:45 PM

Looks pretty good. New seat and it will be really presentable.
Should take much to get that back on the trails.

TeamCheap · 11-23-2011, 05:27 PM

A little bending and tweaking here and there, a new set of steering bearings, some carb work plus some fork seals/fluid and a seat cover with a good cleaning, yeah it will look and ride alright then.

katoranger · 11-23-2011, 05:30 PM

At least it appears to be complete and not modified.

TeamCheap · 11-23-2011, 05:40 PM

Yeah its not to bad and I think I can get it set right without to much trouble/cost.

FastDoc · 11-23-2011, 09:17 PM

Hey that looks great! Looks like an easy fix!

Weldangrind · 11-23-2011, 11:35 PM

I love those bikes; kinda the little brother to the TW200 and BW200, except two-stroke. It looks like the spark arrestor is missing; I hope you can find one for cheap, so that it will be easier to tune. If it helps, a Baja Dirt Runner muffler will probably bolt on, since they were faithfully copied from a PW80 (despite using four stroke Honda clone engines).

I had a muffler for one of those bikes, but I must've given it away. Another common name for that bike was Panterra.

TeamCheap · 11-24-2011, 09:52 AM

I'd like a 350 like that but they are so hard to find.

I think I'll go ahead and order a few things for it.

Now I'll have to be on the lookout for a honda 80.

Weldangrind · 11-24-2011, 09:56 AM

I'm not positive, but I think the PW80 muffler would also fit.

Would you like info on a replacement rear tire?
