Yamaha R5 description

This was my first motorcycle build. I decided I needed a light weight motorcycle to hang on the back of the motorhome... I bought a professionally rebuilt engine with a frame and several boxes of parts. I didn't know what an RD350 was until I got into it. The bike in the pictures is what happened. It worked as a grocery getter BUT..... I'm 63 years old and I have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground. I like the feel of a powerful 2 stroke but..... my "tearing up the streets" days are over So, the engine is fresh, maybe 1000 miles. I rebuilt carbs, charging system, ignition, new front tire, chain, brakes, new battery, led blinkers and tail light, halogen head light, whatever I needed to. I didn't bother installing the oil pump, so it uses pre mix gas. You can have the pump and all my other parts with the bike. It's a dependable fun bike for a younger man than me, I'm now building a custom BSA that will be too heavy for the motorhome, but a little more tame cruiser...... I could try remembering everything I did while building this thing, but would rather answer specific questions. Ask a question and I will post the answers for all to see. Not looking forward to building a crate and shipping but if you're persuasive enough, I might..... |

Day 1 Dakar 2014: Barreda Draws First Blood
Mon, 06 Jan 2014Team HRC’s Joan Barreda on the Honda CRF450 Rally, got off to a storming start in day one of the 2014 Dakar rally, clocking up the fastest time of all the 175 riders at the first time-check. The former Husqvarna rider who moved to Honda in the middle of the season inaugurated his 2014 Dakar with an acrobatic performance. The motorcycle competition was expected to be wide open, and that is indeed what the classification shows after the opening stage. It was a very early start for the Rally Dakar. The pack of riders headed off at four in the morning on a long 251 miles that took them towards the vibrant city of Rosario for the start of the 112 mile special.
Richard's '88 Tenere resto project
Tue, 18 Jan 2011There’s a lot of it about at this time of year, brought on, no doubt, by excessive exposure over the Festive Season to the temptations of eBay. Buying old nails with a view to restoration, that is. Wilfing away over the New Year, I spotted for sale a bike that, when new, I really fancied.
GPify the Yamaha Fazer FZ8 with LeoVince
Mon, 05 Jul 2010Here is what LeoVince has to say about the new Fazer8 and FZ8 exhausts: Quick off the mark with 3 exhaust options launched for Yamaha's brand new 800cc Fazer and FZ8 models, LeoVince promise you less weight, better looks and improved performance. These new Fazers, with their R1 engines, albeit downgraded to a smaller 800cc capacity, have been designed by Yamaha to give more bottom end power. LeoVince have finely tuned their new slip-on GP-PRO and SBK-FACTORY exhausts to further increase both power and torque throughout the whole rev range, and endow the bike with a much improved sports sound - plus a removable db baffle for increased throatiness.
