Let me introduce myself (Neil Collins) of Seaton, South Australia and I am the Engine Builder, Tuner, Owner, Sponsor and Restorer of early Yamaha two-strokes twins of 250 cc. I have built up a small collection of racing Yamaha's and I am always seeking assistance from anyone who has obsolete spare parts and tuning information that are no longer being used. All of my Yamaha's have a 56 mm Bore x 50 mm Stroke and the crankcases are Vertically Split!

"Help me preserve and keep the Yamaha's Racing"

E-Mail me if you have any obsolete spare parts or tuning information
