2 Strokes Down Under

I just had an email... Webike are having an early Christmas sale event. They have a coupon giving you 7% OFF on orders over 35,000 yen. But, you dont need it as at the same time they are making my 'RD350' code the same as that one. This special event will start on Monday 16th December and run until ...

'decent' might be the problem for 40 year old used parts... Do you have one thats not 'decent' as you can rebuild them? The RZ's 29L version does fit 'mostly', its just not correct and may hit the brake... not exactly sure. Else plenty of aftermarket... and copies on yambits / ebay etc. Tho, I'd avo...

Might be interesting to some, this was to me... I've now seen the most up to date stats, this code has had 42 uses and been used for 1.4m Yen of orders, saving around $430 in total for those that used it. I also got a natty graph that showed the orders were from all the corners of the world. Includi...

No airbox here, that wasnt me Mark. sorry Ant.

One last thing... Its probably also worth noting that the Webike Japan website does not have the parts books so look up isnt as easy as Partzilla, CMS, Fowlers etc. So if you want OEM parts you'll need to copy/paste part numbers into the search bar. If they come up blank the parts are NLA, if the se...

I figured I should also add this info for anyone searching on Japanese websites for parts for our bikes. The JDM bikes are often not called by the same names we do... basically, in Japan an LC is an RZ250 and a YPVS is a RZ250R. Tho, a TZR250 and TDR250 and their 125 siblings are the same tho... and...

Guys, Ive got hold of an interesting coupon code which may help the community so worth posting I think. FWIW Ive posted this on a couple of forums now that I frequent in case others also use the website and would like a discount. Long story (told mostly on a thread about some JDM style builds Ive do...

There are a bunch of tables on the net that list which stators will work with your rotor as not all years/models can be used together. This is a post I saved off another forum where i a guy was CDI testing but I think it covers what you need to know: -- The YPVS series have three different stators, ...

Welcome in Peter.

yes, my advice is to make a list of part numbers and then find out who is cheapest. note that. build the list up and buy when you have enough to get free post or you need to get stuff 'now'. bear in mind that slow boat from Japan takes 3months (ie webike offers seamail along with fast post, but most...

I did a post a while back about where to buy stuff and a lot of that is still current. In Aus I use the local dealers online ordering for some parts but am wary of costs and cross shop with Japanese and Eu/USA/UK as well. you will find some things are good value here and others are stupid priced, th...

very nice, great to have another one back on the road! Enjoy!

great news!

Hmm, with no spark i think its something fundamental. I'd advise you follow the wiring diagrams and check the power runs as expected, across the switches and through all the connectors. ie check continuity for the +12v and also check the whole kill switch circuit isnt earthed. Also make sure youve p...

back to the start then... Do you have spark? If not then you need to trace the ignition system to find out where it fails to proceed. These are pretty simple bikes, if youve swapped lots of the ignition parts (CDI, stator, coil) already then its in the wiring or switches. make sure youre getting pow...
