A friend of mine took up the challenging task of restoring an Italian made YPVS Yamaha TZR-R. I used the term "restoration" as the bike happens to be really old, and it was in an unmovable condition for more than 2 years at my place. As medicine to the recently appeared Motorcycle Madness he took up this as a challenge and a job to kill the spare time.

The bike was moved to his garage, yes.. using a trailer as i said earlier, it was in an unmovable condition at my place. The chain, sprocket, Wheel, front fork and handle was stuck due to the rust and dirt.
Bringing back the dead
Almost everything in the bike was Made in Italy.
I made a video from my Nokia N73 as soon as the Power Valve was restored back to a working condition after two days work. I will upload another video as soon as the work is complete.
