Afternoon Just signed up hoping you guys can help me with some advice about the R5 model. I'm looking at a 72 R5C which looks like a pretty original and straight bike but the owner tells me it's has a reed valve conversion (from the later RD I guess). Now I know my way round old Suzuki oil burners OK, but I'm new to the 70s Yams so I'd like to hear any opinions on this conversion - good thing? bad thing? doesn't matter thing? Also any general comments tips and hints on what to look for with an R5 would be welcome. Cheers - MaineKZ
