Re: Rear Crank Timing out 2.5 Degrees

@Luther.

Has anyone ever tried to reach out to Yamaha to find the original engine designers? Get the history from them?

Front fairing bird cage... RG500 vs RG400 vs RG250

Hello, I drove 4 hours away from my home last year to pickup a birdcage/front frame for my RGx00 project and some other parts. The whole trip seems to have been a disaster. The front forks I picked up were slightly bent, judging by the internals modified for racing... (There was plastic tubes inside...

Thanks Again
Tony.

Protecting Wiring / Spiral Wrap & Split Tubing
