Re: Custom 1981 Yamaha RD350LC

Sorry, that sounds more like shitty loose parts! If the clutch is making that much noise without the lever pulled in, then he has major issues!

Re: Looking for Keihin Main Jets larger then 140

Go to any bike dealer that deals with Parts Unlimited (Parts Canada?), and ask to see their dirt book. In the fuel and carb section, they should have what you need. You will probably have to buy a 5 pack of them, but at least you will have extras then. Just remember to buy the genuine ones, and not ...

Re: VJ22 Banana swingarm

Yamavarna, I ordered the Tyga brake hanger also, but the detail I overlooked is that the SV rotor diameter is too large. looking through Charlies build (I think), I noticed that he purchased a Burgman scooter rear disc that has the correct diameter.

Re: Clutch cover install and water / coolant pipe

Here's a tip for you all. Most manufacturers, Yamaha included, use screws in a length so that when a cover is put in place, and the screw is resting in the hole (not threaded in) that the protruding length is the same for all screws.

Re: More projects

Hey Busa, sorry to go off topic but where do you order parts for your VJ22 from? I need a rear axle, and can't find a dealer that has a microfiche for that model. Thanks, Bruce.

Re: Future of RZ values

Fortunately, my 22 year old son loves riding my RZs ,and has claimed them when I am too feeble to throw a leg over them. So at least my stable will be well kept when I'm done with them.
