Original handbook
The Chappy was developed primarily for people in Japan's cities, featuring small 8-inch tires to make it easier for smaller-framed riders to mount, and a simple-to-use 2-speed automatic transmission which was way ahead of its time with seamless gear changes. This lovely little Yamaha Chappy covered 8, 000 km in the first half of its life. The bike was then taken off the road and was never used again. This bike is all there and will just need a weekend and a skilled hand to get it up and running.
