blippy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi all i am after a rd500lc ihave looked at several and body wise they needed alot of work,finding good panels seems to be big problem so i have steered away from ones needing plastics,ive seen one with fibreglass panels but syed away as i thought it could be a problem to sell on one day,am i right?.has anyone got some good sound advice on what to look out for regading mechanicals,i have an ear for piston slap and grumbly bottom ends,but am not sure just how much smoke should be omitted which is deemed acceptable.also apart from the obvious colour schem diffence and engine restiction difference between uk bikes and imports is there anything else i should be looking for? any advise is appreciaited.regards vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
