Welcome Back Danny boy. As soon as your ready to take orders i am 100% on board with this. let me know thanks.

Yes Hotel71 that Argo. He doesn't respond to emails or messages anymore. Regardless I have found a sufficient replacement that will bolt in with little modification. It is from a Suzuki LT-F250 88' to 09' Quadrunner.

Thank you Bewarethemoon I have been waiting on at least some notes. Have you had a chance to maybe take apart an existing slave to see if there are any ideas you can gather? I have a Ducati slave knock-off i can dissasemble and post? I have used it before and it held well for the year i used it?

I don't want to hijack but artic, what offset are you running on the custom disc? I am using motolanna brackets for the 40mm 4 pot brembos, but I would like a disc that bolts on instead of spacing the disc away from the hub.

Sure sure

I saw that Add. That is some of my inspiration. After several frustrating and difficult days of fighting the engine, I found that the spark plug threads were so dirty they weren't allowing them to ground and fire. Also the condensors were weak to the point it wasn't allowing the points to break...

Any word yet?

Still available?

What shocks are you using? Do you like them?

question 5twin, have you ever removed the pressed in air jet on a set of BS34, drilled and tapped for a m28/1001 type pilot jet?

Well I need the front set, but still 50$! screaming good deal. Thank you 5Twins, your knowledge astounds me sometimes. Would really enjoy a few conversations with you since you seems to have some of the best insight into the odds and ends of these machines.

still avaliable?

Well that is just.... ride the bike in reverse everywhere?? The only consolidation i can give you is that at least you didn't pop a spoke while lacing up a new 64 spoke rim. And a 12 gauge spoke nipple for a motorcycle is apparently rare as can be... anyone maybe by chance have a few spare ones...

I did not know that. I have not closely inspected a XS transmission yet. Usually i focus on the exterior of the engine first. Fueling, Air, Clutch, and of course making it stop as fast as possible before I open up the guts and start tweaking them. FANTASTIC! I am very excited to have this. I...

Thank you Bewarethemoon. I have been doing research for pretty close to a decade on just vintage Yamaha's. I grew up in sunny southern california near the ontario speedway where the King Kenny Roberts once rode. I have been a Yamaha junkie since my first bike. a 1975 DT250 that i assembled from...

Might want to be careful about going to large on the valves, the ports are technically to large to begin with so using to large a valve actually hampers your ability to make torque. You'll lose a lot of pumping power until over 6 if you go even 2mm larger. The intake can benefit, But the exhaust...

Look into RD350 or TZ transmission gear undercutting. The dogs and seats are beveled in a way that allow them to drop in faster but hold tighter than a traditional square cut. Very prevalent on road racing transmissions where you shift at nearly redline.

I read about the iridium plugs and after running them in my xs it really kicked that thing into high gear on launch. The Arc box i installed is supposed to jump the primary coil voltage higher so that helps generate a much stronger and hotter spark. If i am able to use that in conjunction with a...

When i designed and built the hydraulic clutch adapter for the RD350, I was using R5 sidecovers and used the diamond shaped area where there is a cover over the throw out screw. 2 6mm bolts held the cover in place and those same two screws just held from the inside- out kept the entire mechanism...
