1979 Yamaha QT50

Yamaha QT50

The Yamaha QT50 is a 49cc, 2-stroke, kick-start scooter. It is unusual, at least compared to my other scooters, in that it uses a 6-volt power system. This makes finding parts for the electrical system a bit more difficult. (Later years of the QT50 converted to a 12-volt electrical system.)

This bike was given to me as a bit of a restoration project. I've replaced the brakes and mirrors so far. I still need to replace the turn signal flasher, the rear brake lever, the seat cover, and do something about the faded paint.
