Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
I've had good luck getting parts from my Suzuki guy here, including a new foam clock surround and solo cowl. Let me know if I can help with anything.tacky1 wrote:Little bit of work to be done, Im going to refinish the fork lowers, handlebars and foot pegs, New foam surround and powdercoat the top triple and headlight/mirror brackets, Recover the seat black and it should be all good,,

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Thanks John, The original owner sent me a box of spares with it, The foam... New brakes, Chain sprockets, some bolts, braided lines and the original solo seat.
He swapped his black seats with his buddy's RG400 red seats, I dont like them at all........
I dropped them off today to get them recovered with my Seat guy..

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Its a 500 if that's what you mean, Its a jap import WW, Its got 6k on it, original WW dash and WW keys, The engine and Frame read as a 500 from the Suzuki database look up page.giron wrote:Do you know how to read the VIN numbers to confirm if its real?

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
I think George just wants to know if it is a 'genuine' WW. Personably, I don't think it makes any difference at all. It's just paint, but some people feel they are rare and command a premium.
Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Its a real Jap one, Not a real Canadian one if that what he means, The guy I bought it from bought it new in Japan..
I dont really care, Its a super clean RG500 that I got for a great price
I would have bought any colour.. This one just happened to come up...

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
the Japanese didn't care about assigning or keeping a record of certain frames for Walter Wolfe. they even had them on the RG250. I know the gauges are different than the Canadians. I have the Canadian and they assign 100 numbers designated to be Walter Wolfe. The gauges on the Canadians Walter Wolfe are nothing like the Japanese and the gas gauge on the Japanese models. I still have all the original body work and suspension for the Canadian. I upgrade to the Japanese gauges and tank.

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Hi tacky1
Fantastic build your attention to detail is great, a couple of queries did you notice any difference leaving the friction gears out. The vforce reeds did you leave the stuffer in.
Cheers Ron.

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Thanks Ron.
I left the stuffers out, I asked a few other guys that fitted the reeds and they did the same, Monkey see, monkey do..
I didnt notice any difference, Nothing, Maybe it might add a HP or two, Didnt notice any difference in noise either..
