Do you know that the Yezdi 250 could also be ridden in reverse gear? After following a particular kick start sequence, the crankshaft would rotate in the opposite direction and the bike would move backwards after releasing the clutch. Watch this in action !

Very nice restoration, I own the same model Yezdi 250 classic more than 17 years. Great bike in that era. Roaring pickup, excellent road grip and handling.
The running in reverse will happen some times due to advance firing, because of loosening of timing relay.
