500 Two-Stroke Tech

Would love Yamaha Corral tickets RZtom- if they are available??? Don't know about that, John. Never been to COTA, so have no idea how the motorcycle parking there is structured. To those who HAVE been to the GP there, do the major manufacturers have dedicated parking corrals for their brand that ne...

How would someone get an original blank frame? I have such a frame too... RZV frame with blank VIN block on steering head. I bought it mannnnnnny moons ago (thinking 1986) from Kitaco. Was led to believe these were Yamaha factory surplus frames originally used for insurance replacements when a fram...

Well, here we are guys, another year gone by and time again to post up my RZV-toting Santa (not sure he'd be able to fit down the chimney with a real one... :shock: :shock: ) I'd like to wish all our forum members a wonderful Christmas season with family and friends, and here's hoping 2016 brings ma...

Hey Garrett - welcome to the group!

Welcome to the group, Mark :cool: This subject has been discussed a lot here - search tool is your friend! Easiest would be patient and keep an eye out for one up for sale that is already registered here in California. EDIT - like this one.... http://www.rzrd500.com/500phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t...

WOW... simply ... WOW

Glad you came back Mick, to show us the finished product

Now if only we could see it hit the track for the first time....

Wanted to alert all of our forum members of a planned website outage happening tomorrow morning at approximately 9 AM Pacific Time (Western North America). The website will be unavailable for about 2 hours, as we move our web server to a new data center. If all goes as planned, we should be back up ...

Like Ronnie suggested, messages will remain in your outbox until the person you're contacting logs on to the forum and reads your message. It is then moved to your "Sent" box. But, like Vin has mentioned, if any of your message boxes are at the max limit, nothing moves and you have to dele...

It's once again that time of year, so here's my RZV-toting Santa, wishing all our club members around the world a joyous and two-stroke gift-filled Christmas with family and friends!! :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 :smt114 And here's to a blue-smoke-f...

Hi guys... Just wanted to let you all know I will be off the radar for the next week or so, as I am having a total knee replacement on my right knee (yeah, the kick-start one... :smt011 ), this Tuesday (Dec. 9th). I will then be sporting new titanium and plastic hardware! Any lurkers out there who s...

It would be great if Mr Yoshiaki Aoyama joined the group and could tell us some more about the RZV500R Owners Club in Japan. Steve, I suspect his somewhat halting command of English may be a roadblock (his buddy Ken did most of the talking), but I did send him off with a swag-bag full of our club g...

Wow, that's cool! I wonder if they find the rz500 as exotic as we find the rzv500? In a sense, yes they did find the RZ somewhat of a "special." Mostly because of the steel frame. There were many questions about how it handles compared to the RZV frame, and how much is the weight differen...

Thought I'd share this with you guys.... :cool: A little over a week ago I had the distinct pleasure of meeting with Mr. Yoshiaki Aoyama, president of the RZV500R Owners Club in Japan, at my house! :rolleyes: http://www.rzrd500.com/hosted/rzv30/yoshi-2.jpg As the story goes, we had been in contact v...

Not that I'm aware of, Colin. In his emails to me Yoshiaki has never included a link to any sort of "official" website for the club, but I am sending him an email today with a link to this post for him to share with his members, so I'll ask. I also want to see if there's any possibility of...
