Nigh on a year on, I thought id update this , Ive managed a few hundred miles on the YSR during the Summer with our little YSR clan, have had some great laughs and as memorable ride outs as my bigger bikes , its proved more reliable than my 2021 Triumph as well! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...
Super buy...I think that will test your patience somewhat, I struggled to get parts for mine back in 1988 and they are a more fragile beast than the 500, 'thou of course the web has made it easier since.
Surely the answer is just to state " I declare that to the best of my knowledge my bike does not contain asbestos parts"....Go looking for problems and you can always find them!
Yep, had a Yambits open cable on my 500 for a few years and around 2,500 miles now...The clutch cable is reportedly fine as well. ive never had an issue with anything from Yambits in a decade or so if purchases for all my LCs, im using them more and more now Yamaha prices have reached increasingly d...
I run the Avon Roadriders on both my 500 and 350, the 350 now wearing the new Roadrider 2's, never had any cause for complaint with them. I have Brembo brake pads and HEL lines on my 500, with disconnected anti dives, they are noticeably better than the OE pads and rubber lines, while they wont matc...
None taken my friend, but I'd be quite happy to do a few laps on the RD. People like to see these bikes too, so it's also a public service!! I would certainly like to see it! I've only done some parade laps on my 500 , had a set new-ish Avons fitted , in between the traffic, I gave it as much as I ...
Love it, I have 2, one I did a full restore on, What a fun little bike :) https://www.rzrd500.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=16528 Thanks. I read and commented on your build on Norbos forum, you certainly started out from a far harder point than me. Does she run well with that 24mm carb? I als...
Very nice build. I have one I got from my Nephew. Before I got it a friend of his screwed around with it and I assume ran it without oil. Brilliant decision. I thought about throwing my CR125 LC engine in it as a mini street fighter but I'm thinking better to use any air cooled YZ80/100/125 for spa...
Anyone here have a wee YSR in their garage? I've been bending a friends ear for a few years to sell me his and he finally caved in last September, he has 2 or 3 others now anyway. Said friend had done on the chassis/paintwork some years back but the engine and items such as the brakes where untouche...
