My 1985 Canadian RZ350

#1 Post by evan_calgary » Mon Sep 08, 2014 3:46 pm

Hey everyone. Have been restoring this bike for some time and finally got out to take some pictures. Have had some short rides with lots of issues and finally *thought* everything was good to go. Have had a ton of help from my father who has spent way too much time on this project. More about it below. I had planned to meet up with Off Road and some others at a local swap meet but ended up showing up in the truck after a breakdown :(

During the day I managed to first run out of gas and later ended up with a grinding noise coming from what we think is the transmission. The engine is back out and on a bench to be checked. We are expecting snow here tomorrow so it was great to get out for a ride on the bike even if it is was a short one. Things ran excellent up to that point and I was very happy to be on my very own ROAD LEGAL 2-stroke!

To the Calgary members, thank you for all the invites and I figured this post was long overdue!

Cheers,
Evan.

Nice work Evan. I managed to get out last night to pick-up some more RZ350 F2 parts. Have lots of parts now. Just need to re & re a bunch to get stuff going.
