2010 extensive restoration
A much admired classic Yamaha
From a private collection
The 1967 successor model to the YDS series, it was equipped with a parallel 2-cylinder engine with aluminium cylinders, a large capacity clutch, an electric starter, the Autolube system, twin carburettors, and more. With ‘improved power output and drivability’, the double cradle frame mounted a telescopic front fork, a 3-way adjustable rear suspension and ‘waterproof’ drum brakes, for an enjoyable and sporty ride.
With a previous 2010 extensive restoration, this machine presents beautifully. ‘KOP’ was acquired by the vendor in 2010 and has since been displayed in his private collection, with occasional use. Described by the vendor as in ‘running order’, the vendor advises a check over and service before use. It should be noted that the Autolube system has been disconnected, requiring the rider to mix his own 2-stroke fuel. A much admired classic Yamaha, ‘KOP’ represents a good opportunity to acquire an early YDS5. Paperwork on file includes various restoration invoices, import paperwork and old MOTs.
