[Yamaha rz350 - $16,800 (LA)]

(not mine)
Seems more than a little optimistic with no photos and a status of "Missing Title". Not to mention the in-your-face "I'm firm on the price".

Must sell but I am not going down or negotiate at all. Its well worth every dollar and will only go way more up in price as the years go by. Great collectible and investment. 24k miles. Starts and runs.
2 stroke and its water cooled..

[1978 Yamaha RD400]

An unmolested survivor being sold by the original owner. I think the only non-stock items are the new seat cover, replacement brake calipers, and the rear brake master (which isn't mentioned in the listing for some reason). A little rust here and there but it's in pretty nice shape with only 7500 miles.

How high will it go?  Never seen a in-line shut-off on an oil tank hose.

Just finished rebuilding a Yamaha CS5 pump. Disassembled, ultrasonic cleaned, installed new seals and gasket. Works find on the bench, the thumb wheel turns the pump and the plunger moves up and down as expected.

However, when I slip it onto the drive shaft in the engine cover the plunger no longer turns. It seems like it's frozen (binding up on something). This is the case even if it's not screwed down, but just gently slid over the drive shaft. I've taken it on and off several times and it works fine when it's removed and I spin the wheel. Not sure what the issue can be.

I'm wondering if maybe there's something in the distributor gear that's out of sequence or backwards. The gear looked to be straight cut so direction shouldn't matter. There was a washer (shown) in one of the photos that I installed on the tip of the distributor shaft that went into the housing body. Should that have gone somewhere else?

The reason I don't own an NR (besides the fact that it's a Honda)
And it's not even at reserve

Rumors are circulating that Suzuki will be ending their MotoGP efforts after this season, despite a contract with Dorna to field a factory team through the 2026 season. Apparently the team held and internal meeting early this week to announce it internally. Should they depart, it is suspected that Mir could move over to Repsol Honda to take Pol Esparago's seat.

It will be interesting to see what happens. MotoGP is better with Suzuki competing, I hope they decide to stay.
