CLEAN   CLEAR   TITLE 


Nice, original 1975 Yamaha RD350 up for grabs!
 A one year color bike, this Portuguese Orange 2 stroke little wheelie machine is a nice example of an original survivor. 

This motorcycle recently went through some minor service work to get the bike up and running the way it should. The tank and carbs were both cleaned, no tank sealer needed or applied. New points were installed and timing set. The front brake was locked up when I acquired it, so the master cylinder was replaced with nicer oem one, and the front caliper was rebuilt. The proper key was acquired for the bike, a new set of plugs installed, a new battery, a few other minor things, and this baby now starts FIRST KICK every time.

This bike runs, shifts, stops, and rides properly. Shifting is smooth, brakes work correctly now, and there are no issues with acceleration or dead spots in the throttle. 

Cosmetics are pretty solid, although there are some things that need cleaned up. 
Surface rust, and some minor road rash is present on the bottom of the exhaust. The exhaust is solid with no holes, and includes baffles. Surface rust is also present through out other areas of the bike. Most, if not all, should clean up fairly easily. 

The original paint on the tank still looks very nice, but there is some surface issues on one side as seen in the pictures. There is a smaller dime sized dent in the tank also. The right side cover is missing the screw to hold it in place. The seat is still very nice, but has 2 small tears. Seat foam is nice and soft still. 

There is currently no air filter in the bike. The rubber connecting the airbox to the carburetors has shrank over time, and is not connected at the moment. Also, the side kickstand is functional, but not correct for the bike.  Tires are probably original to the bike and have cracking and some dry rot. 

Overall, this is a nice condition bike that should not take much to make look REALLY nice. The hard part of getting it running properly is already done. 

   

  Video walk thru, and start up  ^
Would make a good start for restoration, or ride it as is. 

The bike has a clean and clear Michigan title in my name. If you have any questions, or need better pictures of something, please let me know.

You Know the Economy is Hurting Manufacturers When…

Yamaha Star Bolt Café Photos from Tokyo Motor Show

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We received some positive feedback on our Google+ page when we first wrote about Yamaha‘s Star Bolt Café prototype, so we thought we’d share some new photos Yamaha released from the Tokyo Motor Show. Yamaha has made it clear the Bolt Café is only a reference model to showcase the customization potential of the Bolt. At its heart remains the Bolt’s 942cc V-Twin engine and double-cradle frame.

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place.  Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series.  Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing).  The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
