500 Two-Stroke Tech

I also have this problem : ( when sprocket cover is off , the oil pump cover leaks quite a bit ). But not only that : It still leaks a little bit when the cover is back ,now .... I decided to replace the pump cover paper gasket . It is NLA , but I managed to find one on Ebay . Failing that , Yam-bit...

Hi All can anybody provide me with a picture of a rzv500r original windscreen (left side ) (part 51L-28370-00) I am interested in reproducing the white inscriptions on the black border . (I have a picture of a 47X screen and it is "A-05160 YAMAHA 47X" On a 51X it probably is something like...

Definitely not RG500 (on my original rg500 screen , it is "Suzuki 20A0" (20A00 being the rg500/400 part code ) 17c is part code for gsxr750 88-90 first screen is very probably 94611-17C00 https://www.cmsnl.com/products/windscreen_9461117c00/ 17E is probably 94610-17E00 https://www.cmsnl.co...

here is a picture of my original rzv500r tank . ( It has been epoxy coated inside , so that is why the metal sheet look thicker than normal ...) I agree with Giron , you should at least try to find the original sender unit , the right handle switch and the temperature/fuel combination gauge . auctio...

I received the connectors yesterday , they are perfect , just what was needed ...
I am surprised that my post did not get any answers . At some point finding those
connectors was quite hot topic .
I guess this forum is much less active these days .
Still , i certainly won't be going to Facebook ...

Hello list I found a source for the original YPVS connectors , Yeaaaah !!!!!! :grin: they are waterproof Yazaki connectors serie YPC-8 the web site is https://www.hi-1000ec.com/ (this is a Japanese company ) this is my order : Ship To: Customer Billing Address [Item]:●[yazaki] YPC waterproofing 8 po...

my mistake , those 2 numbers are listed in the part lookup tool already ...

the Yamaha Paddock stand for RZV500R was sold as optional part number 51X-W0780-00 (main stand kit ) of course it is NLA . what i did not know is that the shaft bar on that kit was also sold separately as part 51X-27112-50 NLA as well . and not listed in any part catalogue . ( Incidentally there is ...

This is originally a plain white RXR2 Shoei helmet . red air vents are Shoei spare parts for the red model . YPVS decals come from https://eshop-stickers.com/ "Yamaha speed blocks" graphic is vinyl sticker sheet , custom cut by myself . https://i.postimg.cc/qN6Sx6Hy/IMG-3613.jpg https://i....

Forgive me , but from my measurements RD/RZV fork tube diameter is 37 mm , not 36 mm , i don't know about fz600 .

after rebuild ( new seals , new bushes , new oil , refurbished anti-dive ) (same springs ) the sag is about 15/20 mm . I also heard that this is normal . after rebuild , the most obvious difference is the anti-dive . the fork will be much harder when holding the brake lever . (before , it was "...

I went with a 1.2 mm shim , it looks ok so far .
I will see , when the bike is ready to be ridden .

I would say , just follow the steps in the workshop manual . beware RZV500R and RZ500/RD500 forks are different . So follow the proper workshop . The inner fork bushing is not sold by Yamaha . here is one that fits : SKTE37S sold by Inteck USA　(it's manufactured by SKF in fact ) : 38 mm outside diam...

they indeed are i measured mine (rzv500r ) recently (sorry cannot remember the value ) , but they were definitely shorter than the value given for RD500LC （maybe 30 mm shorter , can't remember ) (and now i put them back in ) . the value given in the RZV500R workshop manual is 498 mm (limit 474 mm) (...

if i torque the front axle bolt , the gap will disapear (as this puts stress on the fork leg/front tubes assembly ) . I think that this stress on the fork legs/ forktubes assembly might lead to quick wearing of fork bushes . and a fork that does not slide well . When i refurbished the fork , the bus...
