Description

1980 YAMAHA CHAMP LC50G -

All original.   I am second owner and purchased it in June 1983 - I have owned it for 31+ years!  Hate to see it go. but it's time for someone else to enjoy as I really don't use it anymore.   It starts and runs great - no electrical or mechanical issues what-so-ever. Get on and ride!  This is a  vintage 49cc moped which is a two speed shaft drive.   Top speed is 30 MPH.   Two cycle oil injection system. no mixing fuel required.   Runs perfect on standard pump gas.   I have original title which will be supplied with the purchase. Below are details.   Running videos recorded on 10/26/2014:

PROS: 

- Completely original - never restored

- No electrical or mechanical issues - idles/runs perfect. shifts perfect. everything works (horn. turn signals. brakes. suspension)

- Have title

- Original Owners Manual

- Service Manual

- Two original and numbered keys

 

ISSUES:

- All the plastic/rubber parts are present. but are old and show age cracks/deterioration.   In particular. 3 out of 4 front fender tabs have been repaired with fiberglass. the fourth tab is missing - so only 3 out of 4 screws hold the front fender on.   Please see photos for more details of other age issues.

- The rear shaft housing has a chunk out of the metal where the top bolt goes in and only 2 of the 3 bolts can be used.   This is the way I received it back in 1983. it does not leak at all and in no way effects its performance or use - just mentioning it here for full disclosure.

 - General wear/scuffs/scratches are noted on this 34 year old classic moped. see pictures for condition detail.

 

NEEDED:

- Back tire has very little tread left. needs to be replaced soon

- Needs new battery

- Needs new headlight bulb
