Topic: anyone with Yamaha RD350?

[Can550]

Just got myself RD350 and not being familiar with 2 strokes, would like to learn more and wanted to know if there are members here with one and which forums are recommended to join.
thanks,

yeah, I got one...but I have the same questions as you

Maybe MoMo will chime in, I think he was a Yami guy in a previous life. I could be wrong though.

All I know is the guy I bought my 750 from back around '74 told me to not be afraid to race anything out there, but if you don't want to be put to shame DON'T RACE AGINST AN RD350 STOPLIGHT TO STOPLIGHT! They were pretty fast back in the day.

I like rdlccrazy forums. It's a pommy site ran by Norbo the site vendor.
It concentrates on the liquid cooled bikes but has an air cooled section aswell.
There a welcoming bunch.

 I've got one that I have fiddled with and have running but still have not got it dialed in yet to be a wheelie machine. Haven't looked for a forum for it but will be dragging it out to a friends place if I fail again in the spring. He knows them well. Steve'o has one also and should chime in sometime.

Economy Cycle and Vintage Smoke are good sources for parts.

+1...mines a '73, mostly original.  I currently have it out of service, needs a clutch, but I just dont have room in the garage for it right now.

I don't have one now, but have had several. I never joined a forum for them and I guess I'm generally useless. Good bikes, but I liked my rd400 and rd60 better

Thanks jgger, great guy and very helpful, had PMd him and he responded in detail extending support and assistance, then spoke to him. Wish there are more guys like MoMo. thanks MoMo

Saw your pic on the other thread.  Has yours been repainted?  Looks more like red than the "Yamaha Rootbeer" color.

Not sure may have been painted at some point in time. Too cold to wash and check it.

Would be interesting to figure/ find out.
Cheers

I had a predecessor back in the '80's, a YR2. It ran OK, but dad and I were never really able to dial the carbs in. We always thought it was a YR2C, but many years later I discovered the the C was the scrambler model.

I wish I had a picture of it, but here is a generic one from the web. My bike was painted seafoam green with cream accents (don't ask me why, that's just what dad decided to do)

Looks beautiful
A bit beefed up YL1 that I have sitting in a corner seeker no attention

 I've always liked the shape of the gas tanks and overall style of those early Yammie smokers Danny. Bring back the rubber knee pads !
