1989 Yamaha T80 Townmate review from Republic of Ireland
"Comfortable lovely looking bike, with all you want in a bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
No back brakes.
Front brakes nearly gone.
Burning oil.
Speedo cable broken.
Kick start nearly gone.
No front indicators.
The seat has started to wear.
General comments?
I would love to get my T80 back going right again. I bought off a old man for 200 euro. It started first kick and drove well. It was burning oil but I didn't think much of it.
After a few spins it started to go badly; it was drawing air and burning a lot of oil. Went to my local suppliers to get parts and they couldn't find any of the parts for me.
Is there any good suppliers in southern Ireland who will get what I need to get my T80 back on the road again? Can't wait to see what it's really like on the road.
