Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Ahhhhhh, There are 2 different throttle cables for this bike, The G and the H, I got a H and need a G!!!!!!
Also, My suspension guy ordered me an RZ500 shock instead of an RG500 shock....
Minor problems,
Bike is almost complete only for these parts, I just need to fit the air filter kit, Bottom half of the fairing and lower exhausts and she is complete..

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Great work Paul. The bike looks amazing.
Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Thanks John. Getting there. Pics do it no justice. I would love to get my hands on a really nice swingarm though. It's a little natty.

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
All done, Kinda jumped the gun on it, It runs and idles perfectly on the stand, Spits like a biaaaatch when I tried to ride it, Bogs down, Will not take the throttle when I try and take off, Just bangs and backfires.
Carbs were cleaned in a Ultrasonice cleaner and blown out and they are spotless, All new jets, nozzles, ball valves, Floats set at 18mm, 2 New coils, plugs etc.
Damn 2 strokes...

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Call me TODAY. (828) 777-4076. Yes, it's important.
If I disagree with everyone, that doesn't make me right. If I take the side of only one, it doesn't end the fight. If my position's strong enough from exposure to the light, you may see things my way when we share the same highway.
Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Thanks Rick, All sorted now, Put 50km on it today and tweaked the jetting etc and all good, Blocked pilot circuit,
Running really nice,
Next project is back on track.
