I will second what Cynic says there , http://www.aircooledrdclub.org.uk/forum/default.asp is a good place for info on the aircooled twins of all ages and sizes are good for parts in the usa as are in Canada and Nick at will be useful to know as well

this will be like the Bridgestone tyre pressure/depth gauge i reckon , over subscribed and they will not be able to keep up, Hein Gericke had an oil offer not so long ago and where swamped with orders it took them a while to catch up

i think the irish log book will be enough to prove the date for an age related plate . paul Dawkins a member here is an approved dating officer for the aircooled rd club but can provide dating certs for all yamahas. send him a message and he can confirm if the log book you have will get you a V5 here i am sure http://yamahaclub.com/forums/user/37425-paul-dawkins/

anyone with any sense would not buy one of those rattling smokey old heaps, but as the owner of 2 and RD250 the best advice i can give you is to go to this site http://www.aircooledrdclub.org.uk/forum/default.asp, have a good read of the ups and downs of owning a seventies iconic smoking machine, you will learn more reading things there than i can tell you in 5 pages here

A widowed Jewish lady, still in good shape, was sunbathing on a totally deserted part of Bondibeach. She looked up and noticed that a man her age, also in good shape, had walked up, placed his blanket on the sand near hers and begun reading a book. Smiling, she attempted to strike up a conversation with him. "How are you today?" "Fine, thank you," he responded, and turned back to his book. "I love the beach. Do you come here often?" she asked. "First time since my wife passed away 2 years ago," he replied and turned back to his book. "I'm sorry to hear that. My husband passed away three years ago and it is very lonely," she countered. "Do you live around here?" “Yes, I live in Rose Bay ", he answered, and again he resumed reading. Trying to find a topic of common interest, she persisted, "Do you like pussy cats?" With that, he dropped his book, came over to her blanket, tore off her swimsuit and gave her the most passionate lovemaking of her life. When the cloud of sand began to settle, she gasped and said, "How did you know that was what I wanted?" He replied, "How did you know my name was Katz?

No cheap supermarket fuel will not burn like that it just fizzles out :madflame:

thats what i call a burnout the pipe you can see in the foreground is the inlet manifold apparently

Definetly only use em for checking and inflating , slightly over inflate and adjust pressure afterwards as you lose a little air removing the adapter , i do it all the time

easier and cheaper get one of these and fit when you need to alter tyre pressures http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHROME-90-DEG-DEGREE-MOTORCYCLE-TYRE-VALVE-ADAPTOR-ADAPTER-EXTENSION-RIGHT-ANGLE-/290675494362?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item43ad9c0dda

I think if you trade it in the dealer fills out a receipt and asks you if the speedo has been replaced is mileage genuine etc , if not they ask how many miles the vehicle has done if you know, , whatever if you sell it and tell the new buyer the mileage is incorrect i cannot see you have committed any offence as for insurance i have never been asked for mileage on the clock whenever i have insured anything Merv

A professor at Wayne State University in Detroit was giving a lecture on Paranormal Studies To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" About 15 students raise their hand. "Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" Three students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" Way in the back, Hamad raises his hand. The professor takes off his glasses and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The Middle Eastern student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Hamad , tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?" Hamad replied, "sh*t, from way back there I thought you said Goats."

Andy It would be better to get the pistons first and then he can measure them to get the bore clearances correct i reckon, I dont think pistons measurements will be as accurate as you think , ok if it is bored a bit tight it can be honed out a little but if it is bored to big you either end up with a sloppy rattly engine that will not last long, or having to bore again to the next size up
