Yamaha RD250/350 description
|
The bike is originally a RD250, decided to build a monster RD, motor was replaced with a RD350. Please read description very carefully, I will do my best to answer any questions asap. The bike has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. The frame, triple clamps, brackets, engine cases, hubs, fork tubes, and body work were all stripped and professionally painted. This motorcycle was purchased from a previous owner who did a good amount of work, but there were some issues due to the fact that this bike has some European components, with some modern electronics. For anyone who is familiar with RDs, the electrical system is very weak on these motorcycles. The Newton electronics were replaced with the standard points. The rear brakes lights are from a Kawasaki, but there are no turn signals. Basically, this bike is scary fast and really wants to run on the high end. It was almost turned to be used as a weekend vintage racer versus a daily riding motorcycle. I replaced as much of the wiring as I could, updated connectors and disconnected the turn signals to stop the battery from draining. So in short, this is a fast bike with a really well tuned engine and it looks great. A lot was done and all that needs attention would be someone to spend time on the electrical and modify the kick stand. *********The following is a list of what has been done to the bike. Please read carefully.********* -The frame has been completely stripped and repainted -18" Sun Aluminum wheels front and rear, alittle wider than stock, Buchanans stainless steel spokes, Bridgestone BT45s -Forking By Frank fork tubes, new seal, Progressive springs, heavier fluid than stock -Front rotor has been drilled, new brake pads, stainless braided line to a Magura master cylinder -Clubman bars have been narrowed about 1" on both sides -Moto Carrera Aluminum swingarm, Works Performance shocks -New brake shoes in rear -Moto Carrera rear sets -Spec 2 expansion chambers -European RD250 fuel tank, wider and easier to fit than a US RD400 tank. Kawasaki H1 tail section welded to the stock seat pan, the whole thing flips up as the stock seat did -Shorai Lithium Ion Battery ******Please read the following very carefully, as this is the heart and sole of the bike, the motor (the 350)***** -New crank, with all new bearings and seals -TZ rods (slit on the big end for better oiling) -Crank was welded, trued, and balanced -Barnett clutch and springs -Nic's Pistons, + .060 over stock, RZ style (larger intake window) -Spec 2 port and polish, Stage 2 -Spec 2 expansion chambers -Boyseen stage 2 reeds -Banshee (RZ/TZ) reed boots, with boost bottle -K+N 2 to 1 air filter kit -1/4 tun throttle What needs addressed - Euro RD250 Tank needs another bracket to secure to the frame, Currently using straps and zip ties. - Wiring, Either go completely back to stock or do a custom wiring kit with a stand alone digital cluster. - Fix the wiring on the Kawasaki seat. - Kickstand needs attention, chambers are in the way of stock unit and is too short, major lean on the bike.
VIDEOS: I believe I have described the RD as best as possible.

How to murder an HP2 Sport
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Some bikes and cars should be left entirely stock; left unchanged from the way the factory intended them to be. In purchasing them you should understand that. I could produce a list of vehicles that should be taken off the owner if they modified them in any way but I'll save you the boredom.
