The Bar

hey, I have some parts f.or RZ 350's side covers,rims, fairing ,radiator, anda rolling frame with title one without. Drop me a line if you need anything or questions on all my parts.

I live in Australia and recently purchased a 1985 SRX 600 (1JK model) as a grey import. Great bike however it is running an SRX 400 rear wheel. I have sourced and found an RZ 500 wheel from the same build period that is the correct mag design however it is a 3.00 x 18 whereas the standard wheel is a 2.75 x 18. If someone can assist with info about the compatibility of this larger rim and whether it will be a fit, would be appreciated. I am hoping, given it from the same period, that Yamaha sourced the RZ wheel from the parts bin and therefore most of the hardware from my rim can be swapped over. Thanks

Hi It is my friend's RZV500. How I see it, it is YZR500. http://homepage3.nifty.com/kevinmagee/DSCFrzv500m.AVI How do you think?

Is it me or does the forum seem like its running in treacle at the moment. I use a couple of others and they are fine so i don't think its the PC.

Just fitted my stainless headers. Took a bit of jiggery pokery, and I had to weld a small extension onto my link pipe, but its all on and good. It sounds awesome. Really deep and throaty. Need a dyno run now though to sort things out. Flat spot at 4 it struggles to pull through, spluttering and coughing, then hits another at 8. Once through that, its nowhere near as quick as it was. Lost mid range and top end. I can feel it holding back. So, Dyno run on Mon or Tues and get it sorted. if no, back to standard lol.

the build up is amazing, how fast is it going? its getting nearer.... the speed, the pace.....the suspense is killing me 50 bloody miles an hour that's what

Hello, Unfortunatley as off saturday just gone I can no longer use my Fazer I was pulling out a juction and the back end slip on a damp patch causing a hell of a lot of damage to my bike. So it looking like a write off. I swill try and get some pics of it.

It has been announced by Writebike (Chris Pearson) on the Rd club forum that Rod Gibson editor of classic motorcycle mechanics has passed away this weekend , i will for sure miss him a whole lot more than a certain other person deceased this week merv :cry2: :cry2:

Spent the day out on my bike today, did about 260 miles which for me is a lot as I usually only do 50 or 60 miles at a time, maybe I'm just getting old or perhaps its my skinny arse that's got no padding on it but even with my big kickarse seat on my bike my arse is suffering. How the hell did Bippo manage the iron butt challenge?

just put on saddlebags from us saddlebags.com here is a pic. so far i really like them and they were very easy to put on

So finally got my bike on the road and love it, now I need saddlebags, though have seen the support bar, so a 2 stage question, firstly , Is the support bar absolutely necessary, as I hear you have to reposition the indicators, and secondly, anybody know a place to get reasonably cheap leather look saddlebags that will be suitable for an XV125.

Was just wondering about safe filtering?? Getting ok on the wee thing and i think its about time to cut through the traffic. When to do it and at what opportunities, also could anyone clear up the laws of filtering? Its what i got the bike for in the first place!! Cheers again, Kev.

Hello, thanks for reading. I noticed some play in the rear of my bike last week, only up and down, no sideways play. I have been told I need new swingarm bearings, but I can't find these anywhere! Can I buy the same sized bearings or are they specific? Also are there any other parts that need to be replaced due to the play? Cheers in advance for any help Toby

Ha ha.........I am the proud owner of a "New" 1986 salient CA50DL It has 789 miles on the clockand I have the origional purchase receipt along with a sales brochure. I am new to these scooters & can find virtually NO info at all. I would be grateful for ANY input. Many thanks in eager anticipation
