Thanks Mark,

They are my best Bet. Looks good, so close to the original, if you dont tell, no one can difrentiate from Original

I came across these ones in the past, very poorly made, never buy this

Thanks Mark,

Message from my Plating Guy below

" Definitely diecast. Replace it or paint it or be prepared to pay a lot to have it replated"

Turning Wrenches / Anyone Rechromed RD350/400 Signal
November 27, 2025, 02:20:40 PM
Hi All,

The Signal lights on my RD350 is pitted in some area. Did anyone Re-Chromed this.

What is the best option to keep it all Original

It feels heavy for its size, is it Aluminium Die cast or anyone know which material it is.

Regards

Turning Wrenches / Re: Left Cylinder missing when Hot
August 10, 2025, 08:07:48 PM
It was bad coil. Both coils measured Primery = 4.2 and Secondary = 8.8 so never suspected. I changed with similar reading coils and the issue is no more. May order Suzuki SV650 coils in the future as per M in SC in other post. Changed the Main to 130 now, I think the bike need 140.

Note : Now the Bike is at 130 Main, 30 Pilot - Airscrew -Just below 1 rotation, Leanest clip position on the Jet needle - Running moderately good, there is hesitation around 4000 RPM, Planning to go 32.5 on Pilot and 140 on Main then see where the clip postion should be, what you guys think. Had 300 plus km done today without any issues, but could be better - so thought above set up.

Turning Wrenches / Left Cylinder missing when Hot

Hi All,
My friend's 1973 RD350 has an issue, it runs fine for some time and shows missing on Right Cylinder while on Traffic and eventually dies. He Kept idling high to tackle this issue, but the issue persists. Could you please advise on this, or gouide me to the post which discuss this in the Past. This Bike is Running 30 Pilot, 120 Main and Stock Needle and Needle Jet. 1 1/4 on Air Screw. Stock air box with Yambits Air Filter. Engine is Ported as per Previous Owner(dont know How far). This Bike had Dave F Mod done before with DG Pipes, he converted all Back to original set up to solve this issue.

Turning Wrenches / RD400 Jerking while deceleration
July 30, 2025, 01:34:32 PM
Hi All,
1976 RD400, the bike is Jerking on Deceleration, goes away if I give a littlte throttle. Never observed in my RD350's. What is the cause and how to reduce/eliminate. Front Tyre 100/90/18. No issues Riding at any speed from 60 to 90MPH, The issue stats when down shift and decelerate.
Thanks

Is that bowl is from Left Carb ?
Should there be a hole at marked area

2 yrs ago I ordered this cheap one. It was 2XX back then for our 250 to 350 Conversion, still running good without any issue, 3000k done on this now.

Hi All,
Planning to change the exhaust from DG Pipes to Stock.
The Cylinder is ported as per previous owner and bottom end power is less, picking up at 4500 to 5000 RPM Top end is Strong. Running on Y-Boot with K&N. The Question is What I should expect once I do this change. Changing because - Like the Stock Look.
