500 Two-Stroke Tech

I used an RZ350 F2 ignition switch on my 500, they are identical but you have to move one wire to a different spot. When you put them side by side you will see where the wire has to be relocated.

The plug caps should have a resistor element built inside which can be measured with a mulimeter at around 5-6 K ohms. The plugs are what they are. They specify resistive plugs and caps to prevent RFI interference with the sensitive electronics near by.

It's at an A&W parking lot on 16 Ave and 4 street NW every Thursday evening weather permitting.

Changed mine recently, used a 2005 R1 throttle tube it's identical and cost about $25 Canadian.

Those racks are sold at Costco.

Very nice new garage, great home for any RZ, enjoy the new garage and post pictures of the bikes in their new home.

Mine is the one with the Nikon pipes.

I met a fellow RZ500 owner here in Calgary over a year ago at a show and shine, at that time I had just acquired my 500 barn find. We met again at this year's show and shine and decided to get together for a show and tell and tech inspection of our own. He has owned his bike for 29 years being the s...

Great looking bike in pristine show room condition, good job John.

Welcome to the 500 site, that's one clean good looking RZ500 you have there, enjoy it and feel free to ask questions here.

Very nice bike, has a very smooth hi revving motor, light weight great handling. Owned one back in the 90's

I am also looking for a steering damper for my bike. I notice that my frame has a bracket on the side of the frame, is this stock from the factory or was this added?

Today was the first time I took the RZ500 on a long leisurely ride in the country side. Didn't push it too hard, only up to 8k for a short time and mostly legal speed limit, just getting use to it. Covered 100KMS with no problems, here's are some pics, enjoy. http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i421...
