500 Two-Stroke Tech

Hi everyone Ive got an original Cadalora YZR500 fairing in my possession (circa 1995) Is there anyone out there intersted in making a mould from it with a view to supplying others that want one for their project? I intend to keep the original and have a new one made (in cf) for my YZR rep Ive also ...

I used caswell and never had any problems with it

Unfortunatley its not a Factory works bike, but however it does have many of the Factory parts which it came with when I bought it. It was originally part of Derrys Racing Team and the colour scheme was not very nice. As you can see here https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49325968878_2590c22d3b_b.j...

Was the YB3 a factory bike or a kit? I always loved the TZ350's and would love to have chance to ride the Bimota. Can you tell us what the wet weight of the bike is, please? Fantastic stuff! Thanks for sharing! Hi Darrell, Most of the YB3 bikes were just rolling chassis kits for customers. Frame, y...

Sorry, I (and likely most from u.s. ) see 43 and think baldwin. No worries buddy, thanks for explination on number 43, Baldwin was a great rider! Brian rode the 1985 TT with number 28 but he also rode at the 1985 Assen round of the TT/F1 Championship with number 43 hence why I have that on the bike...

VERY nice! Is the Baldwin # intentional or coincidence? Very Sorry but dont understand the Baldwin connection ? As the Bimotas are painted in the Bimota Factory racing Michel Rougerie colour scheme, https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51316598759_e846277c73_z.jpg the Spondon TT/F1 Yamaha 500 is in ...

I took the Bimota YB3's and my Spondon to Knockhill for a Classic Bike track day on Tuesday Had a fabulous time great weather and good company I will load more photos of the other race bikes onto Flickr over the weekend. But here are a few photos for you. My 1980 Bimota YB3 250 (G) which I restored ...

it is a super interesting piece of worked iron. Is one available for me too? Thanks I am very sorry but as per my post 12th January Unfortunatley, I am not making anymore of these as I have stepped aside to let Bill Wilison now supply these with my blessing. Best regards Johnny C. You can contact h...

Not looking to move in on Johnny's business here but I too am having some made up. Will hopefully have them in a few weeks to a month. After a geart deal of soul searching the last few days, all of this started out just if I had a spare key or two, but has grown very quickly and taking up a great d...

I agree that Yamaha guys are very clever, much more so than myself. However I can only post what I and others have found on this subject. I remember the post from Rick a few years ago. However I think it was a member on here from France? but I can’t remember who it was that explained this far better...

The keys are made from en24t and are 26hrc which I am told is better than the Std Key

Hope that helps
Could you please confirm if you wish to be added to the list.

Many thanks

Best regards

Sorry not replied as I have had internet problems this week! As Bill states plus others, its always better to sort out the mechanical timing. Yes sure no problem, I can get a few more offset keys made in a week or two. So could you please send a PM then I can sort a list out of numbers so I can then...
