Costin - YZR500 1990 Rainey bike

[RC45]

Bad news for my cheque book - Mick has reached out to me.

I can't wait to get this dialogue going

[oktrg500]

Are we talking about a Costin NS500 frame here?

[RC45]

Now that would be something, wouldn't it? But this is for the YZR first.

Stunning bike Mick
Just some questians if u don t mind
Do we need longer shafts for the dry clutch?
And why u also control the pvs separatly ?coz they need to open all at the same rpms.....is this for preventing
The flex between the 2 stock connected valves?

BTW, do you know which firing order Yamaha used on the original '90 YZR 500 (OWC01)?
Even 90°?

Hi Guys,

After 5 years at the Ingleburn factory, and way to many hours we moved house, family and shop to sunny Wollongong. These are the last couple of pics I took at the factory just before the bike was finished...





Cheers
