Re: 85 USA RZ Engine Rebuild

Yes, the Conti Attacks are radials. I love them on my RZ and had been using the Bridgestone BT45s. Loved them so much I changed my H2 over from the same as well. Smooth running, pretty sticky street tire!

Ed Toomey in South Carolina does a lot of RZ/ RD work as well as any 2 stroke. He’s excellent but be prepared to spend $$$$.

Re: Fork air pressure

^ silverstrom/John is one of the most knowledgable gurus on all things RZ. He speaks the truth and has helped me over the years with technical issues/ questions. I’d say that close to 100% of owners here who are in to these bikes run no air in the forks. Do the emulators and springs as that is all t...

Re: New RZ350

I’ve had my RZ350 for about 17 years and always wanted one when they first came out but the timing wasn’t right for me back in 84-5 for me to get one then. I’ve ridden motorcycles for over 50 years (64 yrs of age at present) having owned more than 30 motorcycles both on and off road, 2 and 4 stroke....
