2 Strokes Down Under

When my pristine used RZ tank arrived from the uk I was frightened to death it would get dinged before I put it on the bike - so i bubble wrapped it and stuck it on the top shelf out the way. last weekend I inadvertently knocked it off reaching for something else and nearly died - but luckily it did...

I am frustrated as hell............ I have found several good looking tanks on Yahoo Japan (TZ, RZ) but Japan post will not ship anything that has been in contact with fuel or oil !! I bid on some NOS RZ exhaust baffles and they had to enter a manual bid as it fell into the bracket of potential cont...

The budget string holder has done an audit and is watching my spendthrift actions closely

The 3ma is a bit temperamental for sure. I hear it is to do with the carbs and there could be an inherent design issue........ the 3XV is a tool. Pat will back me up I'm sure on this and suitably de restricted will show most NSR's & RGV's a clean pair of heels :lol: Out of the box the cooking ve...

Its the way to identify them correctly. If you just say TZR250, those in the know will reply "which one - 2MA, 1KT, 1XT, 3MA, 3XV, 2MY............." Then there are the SP's, SPR's, SUGO's :lol: I though Old Gold had one coming in on the next shipment?? I saw the photo - maybe its spoken fo...

I just had my RZ rebored for some Wiseco's I bought from the USA. Its now on 1.5 O/S. Once you get over 1.0 you are limited in choice. There are some coated pistons from the USA that I have used on my race bikes in the past which I wanted but they only go up to 1.0mm over and they are a very good pr...

I had one fitted to my air cooled. spent a lot of time cleaning etc until I found that they earth the kill sw as opposed to the air cooled supplying a positive to the coils !! I also cut the plug off to fit individual connectors. I ended up paying silly money for a NOS from Malaysia - nice switch th...

cheers JonW, I'm off looking for german fairing manufacturers

Hi Nick that some good kit - I especially like the screen :like: Our problem here is the shipping cost of stuff like this. i'm still inshock from being quoted 330 quid delivery for aTZ250U and A TZ250S fairings from BBS On the tank issue, (sorry JonW ...)I know Mark has been dealing with these guys ...

You could try calling Steve Leembrugen of Old Gold Motorcycles in Londonderry, NSW (Google as I don't like to post emails & mobiles on Forums) depending on what you want he is always bringing in bikes from Japan and may be able to help. I was over there on Friday nad he showed me some photos of ...

I bought them to fit on my 750 as I was told they were 41mm but turned out to be 43mm. They were cheap so I wasn't too bothered. With static checks they don't seem too bad, but if they are a spring change is pretty simple. Finally got all the paint off the wheels, now not sure what colour to do them...

Have you seen this fibreglass one, also out of India. Will be close to $500 once landed. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/YAMAHA-RZ350-31K-YPVS-GAS-FUEL-PETROL-TANK-FIBERGLASS-REPRODUCTION-RD-TZ-TD-LC-/261305115645?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item3cd6ffa3fd Yes but you need to be careful with Etha...

I heard it was a worthy upgrade - but its finding one. Like hens teeth. I have one off the resto RZ that I may borrow & try back to back tests on the LC against the original CDI to see if there is a noticeable difference. I'm not knocking these Zeel or ignitech products but for me I don't see th...
