Hey guys, i want to use Daytona wheels on my 77 rd400. Front wheel is easy , but dont know what to do with rear one. I checked tech library, didnt find much information. The problem is the hub dust caps, how much should grind the hub dust cap spacers to get perfect fit. 

Okay, will ride it on twisty country or mountain roads. I meant that will be using it for just weekend leisure rides..have a stock 78 rd400 so thought of having a ported setup for my daytona project.

Hey guys, need a port job for the cylinders of my Daytona,  most likely around stage2. But confused what cylinders should I use??? , normal rd400 ones or the stock Daytona. Which are better. Usage will be weekend ride on highways. What pipes should i buy to suit the ported setup. Thanks

Wow. excellent work. So it can  fit in rd400 cases also. But rd400 crankshaft webs are quite big as compared to rz350/banshee. That means if we fit rz350 / banshee crank the crankcase volume will increase. Will it effect the overall performance.

Has anyone tried using banshee stroker crankshaft in rd400. Its +4mm that is I think equal to stock rd400 connecting rod. I understand its long made for banshee cases but we can modify the side covers. Crankcase volume will increase for sure. What else. Can we use it anybody tried it.

Hey guys, my friend is restoring rd350 so want to rebuild crankshaft,but saw vitos crankshaft at vito website. Quality looks decent , any reviews regarding it ?. Anybody using it?. 

I have replacement gears and shafts if you need some.

thats great, looks like i might need some parts. let me check the condition of drive axle, will pm you.

Guys, I have started to rebuild another rd400 motor. So started with the transmission first. Disassembled the main axle, found this. Is it normal???

Guys, I am searching for a swing arm bearing kit for my daytona. Looking for cheaper alternatives. Can we mount xs650 kit made by All balls on daytona. As I can see the kits available on economy cycles and hvc have same part number for xs650.

Can be used for rd400 daytona.

Guys, i am planning to restore my forks for daytona. Thinking of changing the springs. Which one is good option. Calculated the spring rate from racetech website and got 0.77kg/mm. Looks like Progressive doesnt have different models/option , only one set of spring fits all. And how much should be the fork oil level?

Thanks for great info regarding vm 30. What is the base line jetting for tm34
.

Looks like Taiwanese/chinese rajdoot bores

Hello, I want to change carbs on my 78 rd400. Its a ported setup. Stage 1 with Yz85 reeds and rz350 cross-over. Bike has spec 2  exhausts. Could anybody tell me the jetting numbers for vm30. Read many positive reviews regarding tm34 also. So just confused with what to use vm 30 or tm34. Not sure if tm34 are good option for stage 1.
