@SmallBikeStuff check the jetting on that bike it is the main jet by the sounds of it , it is oversized and when you open the throttle fully it floods and the engine has a weak combustion reducing power , don't go too small on jetting size or it will burn lean and eventually seize
I had a Yamaha FDHJ or some such (we called it Yamaha SS) in 1977. 49cc and restricted to 40Km/h through air-intake and carburetor. New exhaust, air-intake and sprayhead in the carb made it go 75-80Km/h, depending on the rear sprocket. I had a smaller one and went 85Km/h. To go faster you needed a new cylinder with 5 wash-holes instead of the standard three. After that I had a Yamaha RD50 50cc/7HP which was considered a motorcycle (49cc was considered a moped and didn't need a driver's license and can be driven at 16, motorcycles at 18). The RD went 135Km/h stock. Too many 16-year olds got caught and the RD model was replaced with the RDM50 which was 49cc instead of 50cc. From there I went to a Honda 750 Four. That was a bit of a change. I may have some of the technical terms wrong as I translated off the cuff from Flemish. Cheerio. Greetings from Belgium. Zealand in Holland was once Belgian territory, so hey, we might be related.
What a great vehicular journey. I always enjoy learning small country specific rules or regulations that end up determining the bikes available in their market. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallBikeStuffI had a lot of other 49cc "mopeds". Flandria (Belgian defunct brand) and Zundapp (models with the gear-shift at the handlebar) but they were not "official" as not insured and were used to do some cross in the woods. A guy in our village was the mechanic for a famous world champion motorcross, Joel Robert and later for Roger Decoster, and he carved-out a small circuit in the local woods for test driving Robert's cross machines. Local kids often went there to have fun, even with bicycles. I also have had a Maico 500cc cross machine, but that was a short-lived love affair. Too many engine problems I couldn't afford to repair.
In the uk it was known as a fizzy it was Honda that did the ss50 I had one and stuck a Honda c90 engine in it , my mates never worked out why it was so quick for a 50 cc 🤣😅🤣

Yes another video where the helmet mic didn't work. Whoops! Here's a fully faired bike using the same engine as plenty of other small 50cc, 6 speed manual Yamaha's - including the RZ50. Does it live up to expectations?
I have one of these and i absolutely love it, ive replaced the cylinder with a 70cc. better exhaust, reed, carb. and removed absolutely all restrictions, so it easily revs way past 14 000 to around 18 000rpm.
The engine is not actually a Yamaha design, it is a moto minarelli. These engines were installed by a few different bike manufacturers over the years because they are pretty decent and put out upto about 8hp or more when not restricted. Yamaha may have restricted it electronically , however some of these had mechanical restrictions that are easily removed. There might be a reducing ring in the expansion chamber and a plastic wedge in the reed block. Look at the 4 bolts that attach the intake manifold and reed block to the crankcase, if one of them is a shear bolt then it almost certainly has the plastic wedge restriction. Remove the expansion chamber and look down the open end closest to the cylinder, you should see the ring and be able to lever it or grind/drill it out.....
@@GPRracing52 have to say that I didn't know Yamaha now owns minarelli, from 2002 it seems. This engine was around before that so was a minarelli design. Only ever saw these in makes like Reiju, Aprillia, Derbi and others that I can't remember now until the little tzr appeared. All the ones I worked on back then were all stamped minarelli not Yamaha, even the tzr was stamped minarelli inside, just Yamaha emblems on the mag and clutch cover on the tzr.. Definitely not designed by Yamaha.
@@GPRracing52 I have no knowledge but I heard many times the AM6 was originally designed by Yamaha. I remember Yamaha DT50 had this engine in the ninties. Doesnt matter really who made it first, its a good engine and so widespread that parts and knowledge is never an issue. Would like to try one myself one day but I love scooters. But nothing is impossible with weld and angle grinder :D
@@GPRracing52 As I understand it (I've owned an Aprilia RS50, so I did some background research). There's was a tie-up between Moto Minarelli and Yamaha. Minarelli sold the AM6 engine to Yamaha, for use in the TZR50, while Yamaha sold the TZR125 engine for the use in the likes of the Aprillia RS125. An interesting side point as regards the 125 engine. In the UK model of the TZR125. The power valve was non functional. As the engine was bought (as an after market item) by the likes of Aprillia. It came with a fully functional power valve. Only the fuse in the tail section was removed for Legal reasons.
I have one swaped with a 86cc aluminium Top Performance. Get rid of every limitation. For the CDI box for exemple, you have to drill in the front of the "o" of the word "Moric" on it, and yeah, the full stock motor scream at 15.000 rpm. Mine dev 25+ hp Never try to push it to the limit, it goes easily 110 km/h at 12.000 rpm on 6th gear. I wait for spring to push it harder with gps mesurements... a beautifull bike to play.
This bike brings me so many memories. I had one in High school. I maxed out at 105 -110km/hr on a bit of a downhill. The bike was not standard thought, full exhaust and carb jetting done.
I've got a 2005 aprilia RS 50, same AM6 engines as the later model of these, if I recall. With a basic head/barrel/piston/carb kit and an arrow exhaust. It hits the power at 7,000rpm and revs through to 12 grand and it'll do 71mph flat out. The more expensive 70 kits and a bit of porting work will make them go even quicker. The 90s and 2000s were an amazing time for the small engines 2 strokes. Fantastic looking, sounding and smelling race replica bikes. The TZR 50 is no exception. She's a beauty!
I had a Kawasaki AR50 when I was 16 in 1995 (legal learner limit for 16 years olds in the UK) it was a nice 2stroke that my dad tuned up so it would do around 60mph. I remember feeling like a legend on it, I would've done anything for one of these one of my mates had rich parents and had an Aprillia RS50 a year later I turned 17 so could have a 125cc right in the middle of the 2 stroke heyday of NSR, TZR. RGV, RS to name but a few I had an NSR that would easily top 100mph then we passed our tests and it was on to 250 2strokes or 400 4 cylinder bikes happy days. Sorry sent on a ramble there..
I had the later version of this for a few years. There’s vids of it on my channel. It was great fun, especially with 70cc kit. That one looks in lovely condition!
i remember turning 13 in 1982 and getting my first 2 stroke dirt-bike. i was hooked on anything 2 stroked from then on. from the sound to the smell. i appreciate the video thank u. P.S. u know those turbo'd 2 strokes that don't even sound like their changing gears the RPMs are so high., lol
I had a 2000 Aprilia rs50. It had a restriction in the expansion chamber. After cutting it out, it did 68mph. Used to beat all my mates on thier scooters. Loved it. Have a 200hp Honda fireblade now though that just sits in the garage gathering dust. I'll ride it again in the summer
I got one a few yr back to remind me of the first one I had in the 90s, great fun on a Sunday afternoon. Even at my age, they ain't cheap, but they never were in the 90s
In 1982 I bought a Honda MB 5 motorcycle new. It was six hundred and something, can't remember the exact price. My brother-in-law owned a Chevrolet LUV pickup at the time, so we went to the dealership and picked it up. I took my bike test on it and used it for back and forth to work for a number of years. Two Stroke and was so easy to kickstart. How I wish I still owned it. It would easily do 50mph.
You should try the Honda NS-1 50 (there is also a NS-1 75cc version) I think that's the direct competition of the TZR-50 on the Japanese market. Looks clean and nice, nevermind the repair on the fairings as long as the engine is running well.
@@SmallBikeStuff it has a good storage space though, it can fit a full face helmet, the tank is under the seat, the one's on show being a dummy or cover for the storage, the helmet's storage is only available for the NS-1 50.
My mate had this model back in 1997, I had the NS-1 50. The TZR was a hair quicker. We had to derestrict both bikes, the TZR has a speedo triggered speed restriction, if you try to bypass by say removing the speedo cable, then it restricts at 8,000rpms or thereabouts. We ended up fitting a switch to the wiring so you road the bike 10 feet or so then turned it off. If the one in the video is cutting out at 8000rpms in all gears, it makes me think the restriction wiring to the speedo it not connected as it should rev to 11 / 12k in the first few gears then gradually restrict so the top speed is never over 60kph. The NS-1 was gearbox restricted so you just make it think it is in neutral all the time or a low gear. I currently have a few of the 75cc versions, I put up 2 videos on my channel.
I had an 01 rs50 for awhile i made into a 80. With this malossi kit 77cc. 21 mm carb. Arrow exhaust. I got it to go 105 kph stock gearing. You'd like my yamaha tzm 150 i got from Thailand. It was faster then the nsr150sp my friend had. Only mods is a aftermarket pipe. Every time it pull 3 to 4 bike lengths on the nsr. Smaller rider on nsr bigger guy tzm. The lil yam would win everytime. Nsr was not broken or worn out. Had a tyga pipe. Thailand se Asia is the king of small bore sport bikes. Nsr tzm tzr nsr kr/zx rg 150's. Other sportbikes I've seen in 125 100 80 sizes. I still have the tzm but mostly mess around with 250's now.
That would be an absolute weapon! Check out this video of the same engine with no restriction: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.htmlsi=70yKrX18s2UrTQFp
I had a NSR that had the same problem but it wasnt because of a electrical restriction. It has a bent crank that prevented it from reving higher than 6k
I had a Honda MBX 50 cc LC, which I used to travel to school and back every day. It could do a 115km/h and was great to ride, no ringing its neck to get up to speed as this guy says. Our bikes in South Africa was not restricted.
I bought a Yamaha DT50-LC as my first motorcycle when I was like 11yrs old.... I'm pretty sure they had the same 2t liquid 50cc as these. I loved that "little" thing (wasn't so little lol), it was their enduro/dual sport motorcycle, 50cc 2t, but was the almost the size of a 125 or 250 full size dual sport. I rode that thing everywhere for over 2yrs, it was left for strictly street duty(of course legally 😅🤣) when I picked up my 84 CR250R and started riding that on dirt and trails as I couldn't keep up with my older friends who all had 125 or 250cc dirt bikes and one had an LT500 Quadzilla and such, so I needed something faster lol....mine had a bunch of work done to it, nothing was stock, and I was then faster than absolutely all my friends and nobody wanted to ride my bike because they were all afraid of it 🤣 I'm 42 now, shame I sold all the cool bikes and quads I owned throughout the years. 😖

down on engine , in the place to change gears on the gear box have one cable. take off the cable , NOTICE : not the neutral cable of the gear box. After this not cut the engine on 8100 rpm.
Imagine seeing those flying past u on the bicycle lanes at 25 to 30km/h :D that was what 15 year old teens were restricted to back then. Had a mt5 doing 90 with a 65cc kit but got caught by the cops when I rode to a school party by a lake in the 8th grade :D 30kph limit restored :P
Always been a fan of 2t Yamaha's, if I could afford one when I was that age I definitely would, but now I am older it seems a lot of money for an extra 2mph.
Yeah I know what you mean. They are a dream bike when you're young. As you get older they still be a dream bike but the justification for owning one gets harder.
Je possède 1 TZR 50cc de 1998 et 1 autre de 2013 👍👍👍👍 cela fait plus de 20 ans que je roule en TZR 50cc ,full débridé simplement je prends plus de100 km/h👍👍👍👍24000 kilomètres et juste un piston de changé 👍👍👍👍
Unrestricted an longer gear ratio and it would be a good bike. I had to do the same with my Yamaha jog. The shop asked me when I went buy it and did it for free. Much more usable. The only thing I don't like about 50cc is limited top speed. But in New Zealand it means no need for wof and rego is cheaper.
Yeah i just wish i could find any of the 50cc big bikes here in the usa that are one near me two dont need completely rebuilt end to end top to bottom or three dont have a price tag that matches the sale of a kidney though i dont think i would mind giving one up for a good running and riding one though unfortunately i would have better luck trying to find and unearth an old model t than getiing my hands on one of those lost gems out there lookin for a good loving and caring home
I wish! This had a CDI enforced RPM limit which was a shame. Thanks for watching. Plenty more 2 strokes on the channel including an unrestricted RZ50 with the same engine!
my first moped was 06 aprilia rs 50 it looks bigger than it is. it was heavy tho.. but stock unrestricted it wen 78kph at like 12k rpm :D it was a blast to ride tho even if you had to go trough all the gears all the time
The way that engine has been restricted is super annoying, Yamaha have not made a cylinder with the correct port timing to only allow the engine to rev to 8K which means there is a huge mis-match between what the port timing of the cylinder wants the engine to do and what the ignition timing of the engine will allow. In 1982 when I was 16 I had a Honda MT5, it was restricted but at least it was rideable, Honda had 'balanced' all of the components of the engine to only allow it to make 2.5 BHP. 3 years ago I purchased a basket case of a Honda MT5 as a project, I decided I was going to turn it into the MT5 that I wished I had when I was 16, I have a lot more knowledge on 2 smokers now so I spent many hours porting the cylinder along with many other mods such as re-profiling the head so that it has a working squish band and a decent compression ratio. It runs a bigger carb, modified exhaust (looks stock but is a 'proper' expansion chamber hidden inside the stock pipe). It runs a Ignitech programable ignition system. I've also replaced the stock 5 speed gear cluster with a 6 speed cluster from a MTX80. The stock engine runs to about 7k with no powerband to speak of, mine starts making power at 7k, peak power is at 8.5k and the engine will rev to 9k RPM. The 6 speed box helps keep the engine in the powerband. I'm a lot heavier now compared to when I was 16 but the bike pulls very well, it does an easy 55+ MPH on the flat, (90KPH) the bike looks factory fresh but is a wolf in sheep's clothing! (Well maybe an angry poodle in sheep's clothing!)
I love small capacity two stroke bikes. A quick question for you guys. In NZ do you still have to give way to traffic turning right into a junction? I remember having to do that twenty years ago. Was a bit weird at first!
Thanks for watching! That rule actually got reversed maybe 15 years ago maximum. Now if you’re turning into a junction on the same side of the road you’re driving on, it’s your right of way. No more odd waiting.
Needs that restricter removing,cutting in at 8000 RPM, Should be good for 60-65 miles an hour [sorry,dont know what that is in kilometers]@@SmallBikeStuff

@@SmallBikeStuff but it's not based on ur country it was sold in India at 80s . Comes with 50cc air-cooled 2 stroke single cylinder manual 3 speed gearbox with 8500 rpm. Such a cute one .
For who and which market are these intended for? In Europe we have 50cc restricted to 45 km/h for young drivers with no real motorcycle license. Unrestricted it would demand 18yo and motorcucle license, and if you got that you dont want a 50cc because you can drive a bigger bike. I guess rules are different depending on country but usually there is no huge difference. And that rev limiter was a real fun killer, it would be better with a speed based limiter which I guess was not common back in 1990, but now most restricted wehicles has it. Btw the other bike you showed looked like an FS-1 which they were named in Europe but with a AM6 engine?
This bike was made for the Japanese market and was later imported to New Zealand as a used bike. The other bike shown was a Yamaha RZ50, which was featured in the video before this and is unrestricted: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.htmlsi=GqenUvTf3d8ld3Q3

I appreciate the sub! Thanks for watching too. There will be be more each week!
i loved my 125 version. such an awsome bike. So much fun.
Thanks for watching. Plenty more 2 strokes on the channel!
I got one a few yr back to remind me of the first one I had in the 90s, great fun on a Sunday afternoon. Even at my age, they ain't cheap, but they never were in the 90s
A friend of mine had the 125 also, I had the honda mbx125, fun times.
In 1982 I bought a Honda MB 5 motorcycle new. It was six hundred and something, can't remember the exact price. My brother-in-law owned a Chevrolet LUV pickup at the time, so we went to the dealership and picked it up. I took my bike test on it and used it for back and forth to work for a number of years. Two Stroke and was so easy to kickstart. How I wish I still owned it. It would easily do 50mph.
What a wicked little story. I bet you still wished you owned it! How cool.
You should try the Honda NS-1 50 (there is also a NS-1 75cc version) I think that's the direct competition of the TZR-50 on the Japanese market. Looks clean and nice, nevermind the repair on the fairings as long as the engine is running well.
Would love to find an NS-1 to ride!
@@SmallBikeStuff it has a good storage space though, it can fit a full face helmet, the tank is under the seat, the one's on show being a dummy or cover for the storage, the helmet's storage is only available for the NS-1 50.
My mate had this model back in 1997, I had the NS-1 50. The TZR was a hair quicker. We had to derestrict both bikes, the TZR has a speedo triggered speed restriction, if you try to bypass by say removing the speedo cable, then it restricts at 8,000rpms or thereabouts. We ended up fitting a switch to the wiring so you road the bike 10 feet or so then turned it off. If the one in the video is cutting out at 8000rpms in all gears, it makes me think the restriction wiring to the speedo it not connected as it should rev to 11 / 12k in the first few gears then gradually restrict so the top speed is never over 60kph.
The NS-1 was gearbox restricted so you just make it think it is in neutral all the time or a low gear. I currently have a few of the 75cc versions, I put up 2 videos on my channel.
@@x-105strikefreedomthe Cagiva Prima 50 was the same concept about the fuel tank
I have ns-1 50cc fun to ride
I had an 01 rs50 for awhile i made into a 80. With this malossi kit 77cc. 21 mm carb. Arrow exhaust. I got it to go 105 kph stock gearing.
You'd like my yamaha tzm 150 i got from Thailand. It was faster then the nsr150sp my friend had. Only mods is a aftermarket pipe. Every time it pull 3 to 4 bike lengths on the nsr. Smaller rider on nsr bigger guy tzm. The lil yam would win everytime. Nsr was not broken or worn out. Had a tyga pipe.
Thailand se Asia is the king of small bore sport bikes. Nsr tzm tzr nsr kr/zx rg 150's. Other sportbikes I've seen in 125 100 80 sizes.
I still have the tzm but mostly mess around with 250's now.
Got a newer one out 05 with am6 engine its amazing and for a stock unrestricted 50cc mine goes 85 kph and is a blast to drive
Sounds like a dream to ride. Thanks for watching!
how did you unrestricted it i have one and it only do 70kmh

I am riding a TZM50R in Japan.
In Japan, parts to remove the limiter are sold.
However, engine parts and other parts are gradually being discontinued.
Here it's the same engine with a derestriction: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.html
I had a Honda MB50, and it's was a blast around town!
MB50's are reallllly awesome bikes! I have filmed an MT50 which has the same engine. ruclips.net/video/0HMM_PauMAg/видео.htmlsi=IkNjgW_6Z1ToKssv
Beautiful... Got into bikes on the Rz50 , Still have a motor here somewhere...
It needs to come back to life and power a bike! Thanks for watching.
Had a buddy get one new..it looked cool..kinds slow vs my bigger bikes though.🤠
Fun to ride a small bike fast though!
I've seen one of these with a YZ 80 engine in it. Pretty fast and fun bike.

@@SmallBikeStuff Awesome little bikes for sure!
I had a NSR that had the same problem but it wasnt because of a electrical restriction. It has a bent crank that prevented it from reving higher than 6k
I had a Honda MBX 50 cc LC, which I used to travel to school and back every day. It could do a 115km/h and was great to ride, no ringing its neck to get up to speed as this guy says. Our bikes in South Africa was not restricted.
Watch the video before this one, unrestricted stock RZ50: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.html&ab_channel=SmallBikeStuff
I bought a Yamaha DT50-LC as my first motorcycle when I was like 11yrs old.... I'm pretty sure they had the same 2t liquid 50cc as these.
I loved that "little" thing (wasn't so little lol), it was their enduro/dual sport motorcycle, 50cc 2t, but was the almost the size of a 125 or 250 full size dual sport.
I rode that thing everywhere for over 2yrs, it was left for strictly street duty(of course legally 😅🤣) when I picked up my 84 CR250R and started riding that on dirt and trails as I couldn't keep up with my older friends who all had 125 or 250cc dirt bikes and one had an LT500 Quadzilla and such, so I needed something faster lol....mine had a bunch of work done to it, nothing was stock, and I was then faster than absolutely all my friends and nobody wanted to ride my bike because they were all afraid of it 🤣
I'm 42 now, shame I sold all the cool bikes and quads I owned throughout the years. 😖
Hindsight is funny huh? At the time they're just machines we use and as time goes on we wish they'd never left the shed. Thanks for watching and leaving that comment. Love to read stuff like this.
How much average it gives meaning how many km per litre?

Such a beautiful bike👍
It is! Thanks for watching.

Wow. This almost makes my PGO Metro 50 seem like a toddler's tricycle.
Nothing wrong with a PGO! Lots of them around here.
Had one of these as a first bike i miss it.
That would have been an amazing bike to have as your first one.
I had a 2004 tzr 50 when it came out. It was so much fun
I can't imagine owning one brand new. It would be so cool!
@@SmallBikeStuff it was i pre ordered it. Great day when it arrived i wish i never got rid of it
Wheelies!! :) Any faster then the unrestricted FS1-E that I had back in 1976? Love the bodywork as it remines me of when the TZR250 first came out.
Here’s the same engine unrestricted: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.htmlsi=T2paIvW5NH-3LNo7
down on engine , in the place to change gears on the gear box have one cable. take off the cable , NOTICE : not the neutral cable of the gear box. After this not cut the engine on 8100 rpm.
Imagine seeing those flying past u on the bicycle lanes at 25 to 30km/h :D that was what 15 year old teens were restricted to back then. Had a mt5 doing 90 with a 65cc kit but got caught by the cops when I rode to a school party by a lake in the 8th grade :D 30kph limit restored :P
Ahhh what a shame to get caught. Bet it was fun while it lasted!
Always been a fan of 2t Yamaha's, if I could afford one when I was that age I definitely would, but now I am older it seems a lot of money for an extra 2mph.
Yeah I know what you mean. They are a dream bike when you're young. As you get older they still be a dream bike but the justification for owning one gets harder.
My bicycle has a bigger engine, but this is way faster and cooler looking.🍻
Thanks for watching :)
Je possède 1 TZR 50cc de 1998 et 1 autre de 2013 👍👍👍👍 cela fait plus de 20 ans que je roule en TZR 50cc ,full débridé simplement je prends plus de100 km/h👍👍👍👍24000 kilomètres et juste un piston de changé 👍👍👍👍
It’s all happening all action at 45mph….. Oh to be 16 again😀👍🇬🇧
Unrestricted an longer gear ratio and it would be a good bike. I had to do the same with my Yamaha jog. The shop asked me when I went buy it and did it for free. Much more usable. The only thing I don't like about 50cc is limited top speed. But in New Zealand it means no need for wof and rego is cheaper.
Check out this derestricted version of the same engine: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.html
@@SmallBikeStuff I checked it out. Well worth a look. I want 1.
Yeah i just wish i could find any of the 50cc big bikes here in the usa that are one near me two dont need completely rebuilt end to end top to bottom or three dont have a price tag that matches the sale of a kidney though i dont think i would mind giving one up for a good running and riding one though unfortunately i would have better luck trying to find and unearth an old model t than getiing my hands on one of those lost gems out there lookin for a good loving and caring home
Amazing little machine!
It's such a nice ride!
First road bike at 16 was a geared 50cc 2stroke a Peugeot xr6 ❤ brings back some memories unfortunately there a dieing breed
If only there were more around these days!
My tzr 125 stock was 8k on clock .if u turn the fuel screw 🪛 it will fully rev right up
I wish! This had a CDI enforced RPM limit which was a shame. Thanks for watching. Plenty more 2 strokes on the channel including an unrestricted RZ50 with the same engine!
my first moped was 06 aprilia rs 50 it looks bigger than it is.
it was heavy tho.. but stock unrestricted it wen 78kph at like 12k rpm :D
it was a blast to ride tho even if you had to go trough all the gears all the time
Haha endless gear changes! Thats it.
A 50cc doesn't have businees to be this beautiful dayuum what an eye candy
I know right?! It's a beautiful little weapon.
The way that engine has been restricted is super annoying, Yamaha have not made a cylinder with the correct port timing to only allow the engine to rev to 8K which means there is a huge mis-match between what the port timing of the cylinder wants the engine to do and what the ignition timing of the engine will allow. In 1982 when I was 16 I had a Honda MT5, it was restricted but at least it was rideable, Honda had 'balanced' all of the components of the engine to only allow it to make 2.5 BHP. 3 years ago I purchased a basket case of a Honda MT5 as a project, I decided I was going to turn it into the MT5 that I wished I had when I was 16, I have a lot more knowledge on 2 smokers now so I spent many hours porting the cylinder along with many other mods such as re-profiling the head so that it has a working squish band and a decent compression ratio. It runs a bigger carb, modified exhaust (looks stock but is a 'proper' expansion chamber hidden inside the stock pipe). It runs a Ignitech programable ignition system. I've also replaced the stock 5 speed gear cluster with a 6 speed cluster from a MTX80. The stock engine runs to about 7k with no powerband to speak of, mine starts making power at 7k, peak power is at 8.5k and the engine will rev to 9k RPM. The 6 speed box helps keep the engine in the powerband. I'm a lot heavier now compared to when I was 16 but the bike pulls very well, it does an easy 55+ MPH on the flat, (90KPH) the bike looks factory fresh but is a wolf in sheep's clothing! (Well maybe an angry poodle in sheep's clothing!)
From when Yamaha knew how to have fun, also wish they'd bring back Tdr80, a lil 2 stroke sumo😊
I have access to a TDR80! I hope to ride it soon.
They also did a 125cc and 250cc TDR in the uk they are still out there and occasionally pop up on ebay and the like
Are you sure it is restricted? Not because of the carb is too rich?
Yeah - here is the same engine derestricted: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.htmlsi=zMtDcBVC2y4OG_pi
@@SmallBikeStuff man, love to see it
Such a nice condition!
It looks the part! Thanks for watching.
I wish they would make an auto version of this. 6 gears for a 50cc is nonsensical, do you go into second at 3mph?
About 4mph but yes.
I love small capacity two stroke bikes. A quick question for you guys. In NZ do you still have to give way to traffic turning right into a junction? I remember having to do that twenty years ago. Was a bit weird at first!
Thanks for watching! That rule actually got reversed maybe 15 years ago maximum. Now if you’re turning into a junction on the same side of the road you’re driving on, it’s your right of way. No more odd waiting.
Прекрасная Yamaha!
Yamahas are awesome!
Probably saw the way you revved the RZ to the moon and back 🙂

Oh yes, that is much better,revs to the red line@@SmallBikeStuff

What a sweet little bike. Rev limiter has got to go, shoot, you have to get up to 8K just to get in the pipe!!

dont know about that one but the aprilia rs50 could go 120kmh when you change the pipe and carburetor

There are a few trail 50cc bikes but not many. Hopefully I can film one someday.
I’ve seen the YSR50. But never one of those.
Cool looking bike, but darn that limiter isnt fun!
Agreed. The video before this, Yamaha RZ50 - it has the same engine but derestricted and they can be absolute power houses.
Just heard u mention nz,me too,so 50cc means I could ride this on car license yup, were could I buy something like that in Auckland?
These fully manual 50cc bikes I've been filming are all registered as 50cc motorcycles - which require a motorcycle license.

Sir do u have sa gas tank like ur bike 3tu
I have yamaha tzm 150..exactly looks like this but can speed up to 200kmh..
That sounds like an amazing bike!
For who and which market are these intended for? In Europe we have 50cc restricted to 45 km/h for young drivers with no real motorcycle license. Unrestricted it would demand 18yo and motorcucle license, and if you got that you dont want a 50cc because you can drive a bigger bike. I guess rules are different depending on country but usually there is no huge difference.
And that rev limiter was a real fun killer, it would be better with a speed based limiter which I guess was not common back in 1990, but now most restricted wehicles has it. Btw the other bike you showed looked like an FS-1 which they were named in Europe but with a AM6 engine?
This bike was made for the Japanese market and was later imported to New Zealand as a used bike. The other bike shown was a Yamaha RZ50, which was featured in the video before this and is unrestricted: ruclips.net/video/xJwNhnDzNwE/видео.htmlsi=GqenUvTf3d8ld3Q3
