Hello Steve,
Oh yes - he got it for me
Very handy bloke to be friendly with
Strange but true - but I was just looking at the paperwork for my bikes (insurance time) and I realised that I've had the 500 for 9 years now
It's on sorn at present - motors not as strong as it should be and the body work has had it.
I have some good bodywork for her - so a rebuild is on the cards.
It won't happen for a while, been renovating a bungalow for my retirement which is a little way away but time just seems to go, as I'm sure you all agree.
Been collecting bits over a period of time - now I just need money and time.
Cheers Bill

Re: RZV - a very unique model
The RZV500R sender is shorter and has only one air vent hole and one oil outlet hole, as the RZV didn't have the sub tank this sender will put the light on earlier than the 47X sender.
RZV500R Sender 51X-85720-00 (one air vent hole,one oil outlet hole)
RD/RZ500 Sender 47X-85720-00 (two air vent holes,two oil outlet holes)

Re: RZV - a very unique model
Thanks for that Steve. I had no idea. I have several senders here and was under the impression all were the same since the RZ and RZV use the exact same large oil tank.
If both the RZ and RZV use the same large oil tank, why bother with a shorter sender? Why tell the rider he is low on oil at 1/2 tank with the RZV when the RZ doesn't tell the rider until much later? The sub tank means nothing in either case.
As I have mentioned previously, the senders are mostly useless anyway and riders should be keeping tank full.
