500 Two-Stroke Tech

Thanks Silverstrom, Bike is back on 4 cylinders. I'm surprised how well these run on 3 cylinders.

wound up being a stuck float valve. The wet plug was from the oil injection system.

I bought my 1984 RZ500 about 1 year ago. It had been neglected and hadn't run in a couple years. With some help here I got it running and thought it should have more power. I was happy to have the bike start well and put a set of chambers on it. Last month I decided to run some gas through it and it...

not as many rz500's this year but lots of great bikes

The ride on Saturday to newcombs ranch was fun, had to dodge a lot of bicyclist doing a pro race. Along with support vehicles film crews and spectators.

Read that suggestion in a thread here. Anyway put the new plug in #1 that was soaking wet and black. Bac...

Just getting my RZ500 back on the road. Previous owner hadn't ridden it for 3 years. Seemed to be running decent after some carburetor challenges last week. I was running premix fuel and the oil injector just to be safe. Took her out for about a 10 mile ride 5 days in a row. Today I headed over to t...
