I had a 1964 Yamaha YF1, bought new in 1964. Very similar, differences are: - 50cc as opposed to 60cc. Non telescopic front forks (rubber-bushes swing type). No autolube, pre-mix only. Mine was the first one sold in South Africa and it ran for years with zero problems
Your engine has a 55 cc. engine unless S. Africa had that size. Mine is the first year with Auto lube and is, according to others, a 1964 model but my title of ownership is dated 1965. I've had it for 59 years now, it runs and still has the original tires that hold air and still look good. The rear tire was put on in 1966 though.
I have my original 1965 Yamaha Riverside 55. It is a four speed and had a leading link fork. The 60 cc. bike like yours was portrayed as a 1966 as of what was said to me 58 years ago. I have to admit that I was also told that 1965 was the first year that Yamaha had Autolube. It sounds like the true year for Autolube is 1964. The state titles that were issued back then were not dated the same as the actual manufacture year I guess. My bike still has the original tires on it and runs. I sure like your telescopic fork better than my leading link version. I see another reply to your video says his bike is called a Campus but he also said his was a three speed automatic. If true, the three speed was a Campus and four speed was a Riverside it looks like.
Campus 60. I have a 1967 Yamaha catalog. Also have 1966 U5(50cc)Engine looks identical and is bored out to 60cc. Three speed automatic with heel to toe shift.
I got mine at my local Ace hardware store but you can get them on Amazon. They are called "Zoom Spout" oil bottles. The spout is inside the bottle when you buy them, just pull it out to use.
Found one like it in Wildwood NJ sitting for 30 years. Started 2nd kick after cleaning carb. Love it, keep them coming 👍.
6 volt battery mate positive, pushes in

Hey can let me know we're you got the nifty prime squeeze bottle🤔🛵
I got mine at my local Ace hardware store but you can get them on Amazon. They are called "Zoom Spout" oil bottles. The spout is inside the bottle when you buy them, just pull it out to use.
@@flipfix oh man thanks so much....I'm always doing it the hard way..👍😎🛵
@@markhoughton4327 You're going to like these bottles, make sure it says "telescoping spout" on the bottle.
