That different pipes are either better at hi rev or mid range depending on their volume. That its pro...

I might be interested. I'll PM you.

My 84 51L RZ250RR has the throttle cable set up like you describe. It was a Jap import and has Mikuni VM26's but they have a square flat top and not the round screw like on the Aust VM26's. http://petegailey.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Yamaha-RZ250RR/i-MpdZm6p/0/L/P1050839-L.jpg Is this like what you've...

I had a great 200k run on it Saturday and just purred, the annoying stutter between 4000-5000 was negligible,the new tyres handled both the old road and the freeway really well and was just so sweet....

Hi BRG, How can you tell they're replacement forks? I assumed everything on the bike was pretty original. Ill post some guard mount pics tomorrow.

It fitted like a glove. My engineer mate reckoned it was the easiest brake replacement he ever seen.
