Yamaha RD 400 description

 
Completely disassembled to the frame and rebuilt. There are less than 100 miles on the engine, so it is not completely broken in. Initial break-in procedures as recommended by Vintage Specialties and LA Sleeve were followed.

Rebuilding includes the following:
Crank was rebuilt by Vintage Specialties of Jenkinsburg GA
New top end with new Wiseco pistons and 65mm re-bore
Rebuilt and ultrasonically cleaned carbs. Jetted to 130 mains and 30 idles
Oil injection system ultrasonically cleaned. New gaskets, hoses and nozzles
Uni air filters in original air box
New front brake master cylinder
Rebuilt rear brake cylinder
Rebuilt front and rear brake calipers
New brake lines
New neck and wheel bearings
New fork seals and fork springs
New swing-arm bushings

Polished engine covers heads and fork legs

New coils, ignition wires, plugs and plug caps
Replaced wire harness and components. All electronics work as they should.
Frame and components were repainted, no tabs were cut

Bike starts and runs great thru all six gears. I cannot emphasize enough that the engine is not fully broken in and will need to be further broken in and possibly re-jetted. It is now at P30 and M130.  There is no warranty given or implied.

 I previously had this bike listed in a cafe racer configuration and received quite a few questions regarding whether I had original parts to convert it back, so I did it. The cafe seat is available but the DG  exhaust and rear sets are being used on another project.

If you have less that a 5 positive feedback score I will cancel your bid unless you contact me via Ebay. I WILL NOT SELL OUTSIDE THE US.  Any questions call Bill at 201 401-6380

Tue, 12 Jun 2012

Jorge Lorenzo has signed a contract extension with Yamaha that will see the 2010 MotoGP Champion riding the M1 through the 2014 season. Lorenzo currently leads the 2012 MotoGP Championship points chase with 115 points and is looking for his second premiere class title. Through five races this season, Lorenzo has three wins and a pair of second-place finishes, matching his pace from his championship-winning 2010 season.

Off-Road Riding on a Yamaha Zuma 125 [Video]

Mon, 24 Sep 2012

Off-road capability isn’t the first thing people consider when shopping for a scooter but it is one of the more surprising traits of the Yamaha Zuma 125. In his review of the Zuma 125, Tom Roderick says the scooter “radiates a more adventurous attitude” than most scooters, with its knobby tires and hand guards making it capable for the odd excursion off the pavement. But if you’re still not convinced, Yamaha‘s Taiwanese arm has released a video featuring the Zuma 125 (or BWS 125, as it is known internationally) getting rough and rugged in the dirt.

Andrea Dovizioso Signs with Tech 3 Yamaha for 2012

Tue, 11 Oct 2011

The Tech 3 MotoGP team has reached a one-year agreement with Andrea Dovizioso, signing the Repsol Honda factory rider to take Colin Edwards’ place on the Yamaha satellite team in the 2012 season. Dovizioso will join the Tech 3 Yamaha team after three years with the Repsol Honda team. Despite currently holding onto the third overall spot on the 2011 championship points standings with five podium appearances and 13 top-five finishes in 15 races, Dovizioso found himself the odd man out with Honda which will stick with a two-man factory team of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa with Marco Simoncelli riding a factory-supported Honda RC212V with the Gresini team.
