Got inspired by feedback on my Yezdi 81, posting a semi restoration of M80 as there are lot of 2 Stroke lovers in this forum.
Though its not a Classic category or a very popular one, i strongly believe it has potential some day!. Also i always liked its looks during my college days. Similar to this there was a YAMAHA small bike (Don’t know the name), but Bajaj had got into some patent issues by Yamaha i remember.
Details –
1. 1997 Model Bajaj M80 – 2 Stroke
2. Single owner 51K kms done – Mysore Registration
3. Documents updated – Running RC & Insurance
4. Condition – Original Engine untouched, Original Paint & Chrome, Except an Indicator nothing is changed. Could feel good compression during kick start & pulls well.
5. Damage – Rs 7K (Could not negotiate further, thanks to OLX/Quicker , now a days every one says its antique)
What is done as of now –
Did partial restoration on the Aesthetics & retain the Mechanicals intact.
Overhauled Clutch, some wiring work.
1. Restore Paint – DIY sanding 1K, 2K grits & using 3M rubbing compound.
2. Polishing chrome parts, Plastics, Fiber covers , again DIY – Wet sanding & using Rubbing compound & Plastic polish (Currently using 3M & Waxpol plastic polish), Any suggestions here will help.
3. Change the seat covers
4. Check & restore all Electrical items as nothing is working (most of the bulbs are fused)
5. Looking for a front basket – not sure where to source. Will try my luck in Jc road
Paint Restoration (DIY)
1. Wet sand 1500, 1000, 2000 grit 3m paper - do not apply pressure
2. Layers of Polish - First with 3 m rubbing compound, 3M fineise , finally Amway silicon polish
restored the indicators, carriers by using can spray paints & polishing the fiber, plastic materials using 3m all in one product which is fantastic & brings back life to faded plastic, fiber parts.
Pending work - painting shocks, stand , cleaning the rim & spokes.
M80 is fun to ride.
