EDIT: Got it now.

Very nice!

Glad you are ok!

There are all over the roads around here as well, but luckily no close calls yet.

Congrats!

Well deserved recognition for a huge amount of amazing work.

Some shots

Nice work.

Those DG heads are just too cool!

I've done the opposite, my 350 has a 400 DG swinger.  That totals 2" over...

When I made the required bushings, I made several should anyone need one. 

Man that DG stuff looks nice on there!

The rest of it looks pretty good too.

I had a DG head on my RM and DG pipes on my RD400 back in the day.

Where can we see more of your RD?

I have some regular JIS screwdrivers, and I believe they are numbered 1,2,and 3.

There are times you will need all 3.

Post a link if you find JIS impact bits, I don't have any - but could use some.

[it will cover all race weekend events; practice, qualifying, and the races for Moto3 & Moto2,]

After rereading the stories about the new streaming service, it does indeed sound like it DOES NOT include MotoGP Sprints or Races. It sounds like it will cover all race weekend events; practice, qualifying, and the races for Moto3 & Moto2, but not the races for the premier class. Bummer. Better than nothing though, like we've had in the past.

My buddy has the MotoGP VideoPass, and we get together, have some beers, and watch the races weekly.

For me, if I had to watch and follow only one of the GP classes it would be Moto3.

Moto2 has been interesting lately with Joe Roberts (USA) winning last time out at Brno, but the tight racing in Moto3 is still the most exciting IMO - especially with Marquez running away and hiding in MotoGP.

I had water pump seal go bad on mine. Generally from rust on the shaft, then it tears up the seal, then water gets in the trans. Yea, the trans has to come out...

Most likely in my future as well.

Not sure how I will go about it, as it could be a little over my head to get that far into it.

[Megazip is one place you can possibly still get parts]

Yes, sadly that is basically the situation with all JDM bikes that are brought in. Megazip is one place you can possibly still get parts...Covid wiped out the backstock of many vintage JDM bikes sadly.

Thanks for the tip about Megazip. They seem to have most of what I need so far.

I'm thinking the TZR I bought was kind of a parts bike.  I knew the fairings were wrong, but it started and ran decent.  It had no air filter elements, and I'm now thinking the impeller seal is bad, which would mean a complete takedown. There are other things that don't add up as well, and the odometer reading can't be correct.

I have some testing to do on the impeller seal, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't the issue.

Cool little bike.
How's the 3XV coming along?

OK, I'm starting to go through it, but I'm also finding some issues...

Might need more work than I initially thought.

Nicely done upgrades - as usual.

What pipes do you have?

That will also be a factor.

Wicked motorsports

Can you get a dyno chart from them to see what the powerband looks like and at what RPM they taper off?

You would want to make sure they were capable of the revs you are going for.

What pipes do you have?

That will also be a factor.

steve is in East troy. (wherever that is). I know him from the annual 2 stroke meet at deals gap.. for like 20+ years. 

I've been to the EBR facility in East Troy, but I don't know anyone from that area.

I eventually want to get to the meet-up at Deals Gap, but for now The Crud is it for me.  I've seen videos by Cycle Drag -  and it looks like a whole lot of fun! 

Do you know someone from WI by the name of Joe Puccio?  He's a 2-stroke guy, and I believe he regularly attends the Deals Gap meet. He's a friend of a friend, but I don't personally know him.

I really like everything about small 2-stroke street bikes!

[What's the spares situation like?]

There's one of these for sale on FB marketplace in Kentucky that looks pretty good, but it needs bodywork and an air filter. What's the spares situation like?

Not great.

I've been waiting months for a gasket kit, from Treats, to come in.

Should be cheap.

I bought mine in ok shape about 10 years ago for $1200 locally and Titled.

As I got it -
