January 07, 2024, 03:01:01 PMQuote from: Kawtriplefreak on January 07, 2024, 12:01:27 PM5th vote for keeping the oil pump. Pre-mix on the street is a never ending PITA. The pumps are reliable and if you are uncomfortable rebuilding your own (if it needs it) there are lots of people doing it like John at Economy Cycle.They're actually a piece of cake to rebuild. Identify your pump and make sure you get the correct kit. I think a lot of the kits give extra gaskets to cover an array of models. Take your time and take pictures.

Rebuild it with new seals if needed. Easy to do and the rebuild kit is available from Economy Cycle.

Welcome to the forum! The knowledge here is awesome and so helpful! Everyone is super-helpful and not a lot of bashing and fighting you see on the other forums. I have an old '77 RD400 and this is my go-to place to find answers!

An RZ350 just popped up in the Lake Tahoe area. Looks pretty good.
