I remember these lightweight steeds that had an almost cult following in the UK, resulting in a large number of tuning parts becoming available at reasonable prices.
The noise of a gaggle of them pulling away from the lights all at once could and did break the windows of nearby houses.

The compression pressure of an exhaust tuned 2-stroke engine is necessarily quite low - because the cylinder capacity and the compression ratio "grows" at the rpm the reflected exhaust pressure wave effectively blocks the exhaust port and the engine power suddenly increases. Yamaha engines of that time were notoriously "sudden"...

I don't know the exact compression pressure but I would be happy if I did a test and achieved around 100 psi. My Suzuki of a similar design produced 105 psi on the kick starter. Much more pressure than that and there would be a danger of the fuel detonating in the cylinder when the engine "was on the port", usually resulting in a hole melted in a piston.

Hi christina

They did build a XJ550 (in line 4, not V) in the early eighties, But that's the only road bike 550 that yamaha made. Check it out here.

Hope that helps solve your puzzle :)

    What year is my Yamaha motorcycle with serial number Y33-25392 please?

    1965 is the year. It is a Yamaha Twinjet 100. Serial number look up for L1-00887--47755, or you can ask Yamaha for confirmation.

    All the models. I had a YDS3 as my second motorcycle in the mid/ late 1960s and finished my motorcycling with an RD350 YPVS

    I have a 89 yamaha moto 4.Im getting good fire and gas but can't get it to start

    Did you check/clean your air filter? I had a no start issue with my Yamaha RD350 where the filter box was tight up against the seat and no air was getting into the carb. Do you have compression? Is the cylinder still attached by the connecting rod? Have you recently made any changes (like new jets) or repairs to cylinder or rings?
    usually it comes down to an air intake issue if you have a working cylinder in a motor with gas and spark unless your timing is so far off that it isn't firing during the compression. But it might still backfire if it's off?

    My 2002 1100 v star classic does not run on the front cylinder, has spark, has compression, front cylinder stays cold. Back cylinder runs on spark, fuel, compression, no problem. Give any throttle and bike...

    How good did you clean the carbs? The idle jets usually have small holes along the side, and if they are blocked with dirt or bad fuel, it won't idle. Make sure ALL of the passages are clear, and all jets are clear, through the center and holes in the sides of the pilot jets.

    Engine won't keep running

    if it runs on starting fluid then stalls then its not getting gas. try cleaning all of the carb jets.
