Just bought one last night. Still loaded in the truck. Anyone know where I can get a manual on this or parts? Pics to come.

Why is it that I dont even know a Yamaha Special 50 exists until some proud purchaser starts in about the great deal he got?????........... 
...........seems to be an ever-re-occurring event. Seattle for $75 ? Looks like the midget version of the "Exciter". Cooooooolll find............. 
Okay, there's no room in the garage anyway.

80's Yamaha 50's do look big. The head has cooling passages that take up some space. Ever see a QT50 motor? nearly the same bottom end.

Well shes got spark, (Thanks to an Aero coil) and runs via a gravity feed gas can. Tank and petcock are totally trashed. Carb needs a good soaking filter etc.. I think this old bike may have some life left. only has 809 miles.

Does the rx50 need a motorcycle endorsement in Washington?

No endorsement required. (I have one) 50 cc is OK in Wa.

That is cool. A great way to practice shifting for that 500ish bike.martynkim wrote:No endorsement required. (I have one) 50 cc is OK in Wa.

A little over 60mph in stock form. You can mod them to go faster with the usual 2t mods or through sprocket size.Petrock's 1984 Spree wrote:Haha man that video is sweet!!
