2 Strokes Down Under

I fitted a pair of Metal Gear rotors and pads to my RGV fronted RZ500 about a year ago and am happy so far.

Hey Jeff,
Thanks for changing the signatures, the smaller text works well.

G'day Hybrid,
I like the new website, nice and black.
Just one thing, to me the signatures (especially the large ones) seem to look like part of the thread, can something be done to them to dull them down or make them smaller so they don't stand out as part of the text?

Wonder if it still turns over?

I really regret selling my HB replica, it was my first road bike back in '86.
Sold it to a mate who proceeded to destroy it, never sell things to a friend.

Might change them for black ones eventually, but he didn't have any in stock at the time.[/quote]

Hey Hybrid,
I like the red cans on your RZ, It's a point of difference that stands out against the yellow.

I now have a tank.

Looking for an upper oil tank.
If you can help please send me a PM.
Matty.

I don't think there is a preload adjustment on the RZV. I believe there is a spacer at the top of the fork (not in the RZ though), a longer spacer would be my guess.

This is not going to help you Marcus but might help someone here in Melb.
Stafford Yamaha in Heidleberg stock these plugs and are the only shop I can find who do. They say that they will continue to stock them as long as I continue to buy them buy the box

Up and running again

I'm currently running around 92HP on my RZ500 with stock porting and stock airbox.
This was done by raising the compression and setting the squish.
New pipes (jollys).
Advancing the ignition 5 deg and rejetting.

Ditching the original pipes saves around 10kg.

I'll take it you mean 500's since you mentioned RZV.
Take a look at this thread on the RZ/RD owners group

Hi Daz,
There's a couple of LH side covers on netbikes. Look under Yamaha parts in the left column.
