2 Strokes Down Under

cheers guys. thats nice to know Graham uve been following my build. ur welcome to come have a look and talk bike if ur game.

Jon ! mate thanks again. Cant think of why i could not figure out those wheel bearings.

No worries Dean, happy I could help you move on

lol !!

Yeah Dean will do that soon , I am new to RZ & I do like reading how the rebuilds go & problems that arise, I did a small intro in general ramble, I am going to the CEMCC show day this weekend see events part of forum. Hope the weathers good. Love talking bikes. [flag=au]

Was working on the bike today and noticed that the previous owner for the blue bike dint have a clue at what the Pv does on the bike. It was the right way on the bike but the other side down.

So instead of the valves opening they were closed all day long even with the servo motor working. I'm glad I went to see how they appeared to look whit the engine in the bike ( I did open the 250 engine ). Also it was missing the seal under the right pv seal cover..

Now this makes me think what's lying inside !!!

More to come

Blimey, any clue that the previous owner was a mechanical retard with an inclination to fiddle...... You have to start checking!
Been there, my second ever bike, a complicated little honda V twin, had been home serviced by its owner, a professional mechanic allegedly, turned out he was a diesel locomotive mechanic, and used the same level of care and sensitivity - not pretty =:-(

lol !! loco mech !

U'll be surprised just how good these bikes are straight from the factory with the stock parts.
I always liked the way the AC RD handle's. The RZ250 has yet to surprise me.

got her running.


sounds cruel with those short pipes.
PAT gave me a set of pipes that im gonna try and make a good set of for the 31k barrels after getting this one registered.

enjoy !! ride safe !!

Bike still needs a paint. thats on wait ATM need to get the DAMN tank to stop leaking. Then Liner it, eventually paint.

With all the other small mods here and there. i Threw on a Vapor unit on it. heard lots and pretty cheap. lets see how it goes.
