Re: wheel swap?

Reading this I'm appalled by the Prices... Moto addicts are being Reamed for.
Magnesium alloy wheels for My Maserati in 20" diameter and 10.5" J are Listed at between 600$ and 700$ .
And theres' Nothing inexpensive in Maserarris.

Re: Fork air pressure

Don't lose any sleep over Fork air pressure.
Yess it does work adding a palpable difference .
But.. and this is the important bit... the pressure will be Gone by next morning, or if lucky; next afternoon..
Tired seals and imprecise (gasp!) machining assures that.

Re: RD350LC Carb choice

One can even :-) fit oil injection points into the Carb Intake Rubbers OR the Reed valve rubbers.
Oil feed only needs to be in the intake air flow / stream.

Re: RD350LC Carb choice

As above; PWKs are FAR superior to Mikunis. No ifs ands or buts. Jetting a PWK is Dead easy as even close works better than Perfect jettings on a Mikuni. Kawa kx85 intended PWKs from a Kawa parts counter Were Far cheaper than any other source. Likely not anymore though ? As for oil feeds.... God gav...

Re: Add Kerosene?

Or simply us Chevron 94 Fuel which is Ethanol free.
And add in a wee bit of oil premix style as cheapo insurance.
Oh wait ...you can do that for Normal everyday use,
So there is Nothing special required for storage.

Re: MAX fork air pressure

Well 'completely transforms it' is a Wee Bit of an enthusiastic exaggeration.. by My experiences. Does improve it.. Some. But Not a huge difference . Air pressure Does make it feel better though. Only Real life problem is the Air pressure (all 10 to 15 psi of it) leaks out overnight. Even with rebui...

long term sitting .. means a Total and Complete rebuild including Crankshaft. A running bike could be a better start point ... IF available for reasonable price.
