Yamaha Other description
HERE GO’S, THIS IS A 1977 RD 400 YAMAHA. VIN NUMBER 1A1-300266. I “INHERITED” THIS CYCLE FROM THE ELDERLY GENT
THAT BOUGHT IT ON AUGUST 9, 1979. HE PURCHASED IT WITH 845 MILES ON IT. THE
CYCLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT EVERY SINCE. IT NOW HAS 3091 MILES ON IT. IT IS NOT
PERFECT BUT HAS TO BE AS CLOSE AS YOU WILL EVER FIND. I HAVE NOT WASHED THE RD,
IT IS AS I GOT IT. A GOOD DETAILING WOULD
REALLY MAKE IT SHINE. THE TANK
HAS NO RUST INSIDE, IT HAS A PENCIL SIZE PAINT CHIP HAS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES.
THE SEAT IS AS NEW, TIRES WERE REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO- THEY LOOK NEW WITH
NO DRY ROT CRACKS. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK AS SHOULD. THERE IS SURFACE RUST
ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRAME AROUND THE CHAIN GUARD. I THINK IT COULD BE
SANDED AND PAINTED WITH MINIMUM EFFORT. THE LEFT EXHAUST PIPE HAS SOME CHROME
PITTING ON THE TOP. THE REST IS AS NEW BASED ON A 36 YEAR OLD CYCLE. NOTHING IS
AFTERMARKET. THE ORIGINAL CABLE TIES ARE STILL ON THE HANDLE BARS. THE TOOL KIT
IS NEW AND IN PLACE. NOW FOR THE MOTOR… IT HAD NOT BEEN RUN FOR YEARS. I TOOK
THE LEFT CARBURETOR OFF AND REMOVED THE BOWL. IT TRULY LOOKED BRAND NEW WITH NO
FUEL GUM UP OF ANY KIND. I PUT IT BACK ON THE BIKE. PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY,
DRAINED THE FUEL AND REFILLED. I TURNED THE KEY ON, CHOKED IT AND IT CRANKED ON
THE FIRST KICK—I DON’T BELIEVE IT EITHER. I RODE THE BIKE AROUND THE NEIGHBOR
HOOD AND TOOK THE PICTURES. NOW FOR THE
SHIPPING- I WILL TIE DOWN TO A PALLET AND LOAD ONTO A TRUCK FOR $25.00 (COST OF
TIE-DOWNS). I AM IN HUNTSVILLE AL 35806. YES YOU CAN COME AND GET IT AFTER IT
HAS BEEN PAID FOR. I HAVE THE TITLE IN HAND. I AM NOT GOING TO HAGGLE AFTER THE
SALE. IF YOU DON’T WANT IT THEN PLEASE DON’T BID. I WILL DONATE TO THE ALABAMA
MOTORSPORTS HALL OF FAME IN TALLADEGA BEFORE I GIVE IT AWAY. EMAIL OR CALL WITH
QUESTIONS. I WILL ANSWER THE BEST I CAN. I CAN ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS ON THE PHONE. EMAIL movingit@yahoo.com tele- 256.574.9008

Wed, 04 Sep 2013As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God. I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine. The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly. The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win. Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second. I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene. Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP. It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race. The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working. The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers. It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight. Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Motorcycle Suspensions + Video
Mon, 07 Jul 2014More than just “those bouncy things” that keep our motorcycles on the road, suspension plays a vital role in virtually every aspect of a motorcycle’s handling. But how well do you know what goes on inside a set of forks, or inside a shock? In this video, courtesy of the Yamaha Champions Riding School, Mark Rozema, proprietor of Markbilt Racing, explains exactly how suspensions work and why there are so many different variations.
