Looking good. Can't wait to get going on mine. I have to rebuild the engine in my RD350 first, then I can start cutting.

So is this the blind plug that is mentioned in the manual? The one that is supposed to be drilled and tapped for removal? I am working on tear down for a top end rebuild and was left somewhat confused for a while. What is really getting me though, is the part about removing the alt. cover before...

So is it ok to have oil in the alternator housing??? I just removed the outer cover on mine and was surprised with oil when I removed the bottom bolt.:yikes:

Tried to start mine today only to discover a leaky petcock, finger tight spark plugs, and blown head gasket.:banghead: My bad for showing up at someone's garage at 8p.m. to hear it run, pay the man and load it up. Bought it to replace the engine in my dad's bike, but he doesn't want that...

Tons of sites out there with the same layout/look to them. Although they all look the same, the price differences are all over the board. As high as $106 down to $61.19 at stadiumyamaha.com. Pretty soon you'll know everyone's prices just from this thread if I don't stop bombing this thing with...

Generationmx.com has 1st over rings for $46.60. Boats.net has 1st over pistons for $69.17 each. I finally had some time to do some research, but I still would like opinions/advice on what to do.

The problem is I didn't maintain it (oil, filter, plugs etc.) and after letting it sit for a year, I started it and after 200 yards down the road it died and spewed oil out the exhaust on the right side. I finally gave in and took it to a...

Thank you, I'll be sure to dig in asap!:D

I know this is a dumb question but here goes. How do I find the sticky thread. I've searched all over and a can't find the link to download.

My only runner right now.

I rode my Dad's '81 for a few years with no problems at all.:bike: It ran amazing and has clean carbs. Last year I didn't ride it at all, but the second time I started it I got 300 yards down the road and it killed. Spewed oil all over the road out of the right exhaust. Last night I started...

I've got a toggle switch mounted to the the left headlight ear. Headlight ears and headlight are from an xs650 ...lol. Never thought I would have the ignition switch assembly break in half, just from vibration!
