RZv500

#1 Post by casereed3 » Thu Nov 19, 2020 1:53 pm

Before i start work on a soon to be purchased RZV500 quick question.
Should i leave it stock at its restricted original build or change it to modern pipes and carburetor set up?. Which is the more valuable.
Thanks' in advance

Or derestrict it but otherwise leave it stock. In other words, stock RD or RZ500 hp.

Depends on what you want really. Derestrict it and leave it stock os fit some nice pipes and keep the stock pipes for resale.

If you plan on riding it much, I would put pipes on it and rejet and so on....
Otherwise the stock restricted horsepower is a bit boring after owning your built up H2.
You can always take it back to original when you sell.
