    Seen Bargain for 2sD - RD 350

    That RD350 colour scheme belongs to the RD250. Not a bad price, considering. i recently sold a RD400, fully restored, papererd etc, for R130K. The thing about these old RD's is that they escalate in value. Ask Boere:-)

    KDX 250, worth collecting?

    Back in the day we considered the KDX 250 to be a dog. The 200 was a far better bike but the KTM200 was far better than that....

    Value of Kreidler Florette?

    Yep, but we’re not running track bikes on the road. I have a TZR50 track bike that revs to 16000rpm easily. Faster by far than a tweaked RZ50.

    Help needed; slides for Yamaha carbs wanted.

    Hi Danie Seriously doubt if Andrew at Motocomp will be able to help. Tried that myself. Those slides are hens teeth. And if you find some, I need a pair too:-)

    1976 Yamaha RD400C engine rebuild.

    Danie Looking good. Did you measure your squish before final bolting up of the head? I have found that they vary a lot and the sweet number is 1.2-1.3mm. Stock we have seen them as large as 2mm!. On both my 400 motors, I had Tim machine the head to achieve 1.2mm. A comment on the 400 in the...

    Lockdown Projects

    So, I've been busy in the garage during lockdown. I did a thread ago about a RD400 I restored. This bike: The RD and two-stroke and Yamaha bug had bitten, so I traced up a box of parts and turned them into this: As you know, finding and ordering parts from ebay, Yambits etc takes time and...

    Yamaha Fast 50's

    Danie Dont know. Bought a gasket kit from them. The base gasket is a different shape and the Euro RD’s had a screw on fitting to attach the exhaust pipe. Ours had a flange with 3 bolts, like the 350’s

    Yamaha Fast 50's

    Regarding the TZR50R, I wish I knew! As she is a track bike and only has a rev counter....and I've only ridden it on the backstreets, I can only comment on the acceleration. Pulls really hard and is far quicker, in this respect, than any fifty I have ever ridden. I intend to use my phone GPS app...

    Yamaha Fast 50's
