Just traded for a low mile, rust free RD350. I have been putting together a parts list and would like help from ya'll where I can get these parts.
- Petcock rebuild kit or can I find a NOS one? I'm wanting to keep it as stock as possible.
- Ordered a new airbox snorkel, but I need the clamp that joins the snorkel to the airbox. Haven't been able to find it.
- right mirror
- Going to need tires and tubes.
- The tach is very sluggish
- High beam doesn't work. Are these sealed beam?
Thank you guys for any help!
Pics please
Congrats! :cheers:
Petcock rebuild kits are available from Economy Cycle (https://www.economycycle.com/shop/yamaha-rd250350400r5ds6ds7-parts/fuel-and-airintake/petcock-fuel-valve/yamaha-rd350250125r5ds67-petcock-rebuild-kit/)
and repro petcock assemblies (https://www.economycycle.com/shop/yamaha-rd250350400r5ds6ds7-parts/fuel-and-airintake/petcock-fuel-valve/yamaha-rd125200250350r5ds67-petcock/) are available too. Finding an NOS OEM assy will be near impossible and will likely cost several hundred $$ since nice used ones are well over $100 now.
Airbox snorkel? Are you referring to the Y-boot that connects the airbox to both carbs? I haven't seen them sold separately from the filter or Y-boot kit. The Yamaha OEM part is NLA, but there are a few used ones on Ebay (it'll cost you though). Part # 90460-77016-00
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=90460-77016&_sacat=0 (Same part as 73-75 RD250/RD350, and also 77-78 YZ125 and 77-79 IT175)
Maybe John at Economy has a source for a new clamp. I'd check with him.
Headlight is sealed beam unit
Yambits in the UK has the airbox clamps (as well as a ton of other parts if you can't first get them from Economy!).
crank seals, and john at economy offers an h4/(or) led conversion utilising the stock headlight bucket & ring.
I will take more pix soon. Bike hadn't been started in years, but it started right up after I checked and cleaned the carbs.
