More info.  I pulled the spark plugs, they are both clean.  I think the pistons and cylinders are fine.  Transmission clicks from 1st to neutral to 2nd no problem.

Turning Wrenches / RD350 Stuck kickstarter
October 17, 2026, 06:13:13 PM
The last time I rode the 1975 RD350 the kickstarter was fine. Today it seems to be jammed in the UP position.  I put the bike in gear, gently rolled it forward, put it back in neutral and tried again.  Still stuck.

Any ideas short of taking the engine apart?

Gary's number is 747-257-5129 as Jspooner wrote.

He's still making pipes, 73 years old it takes him awhile (months). If you want pipes fast, you might want to check with others.

Gary's work is excellent.

Thanks for the info!  2024 MotoGP was so fun to watch.  I wish Yamaha would get Quartararo on a better machine to get the Japanese manufacturers into contention again.

Pecco pulled of an excellent win this past weekend, after crashing out on Saturday.  It's an exciting season.

I'm also happy to see that Quartaro is improving. Ever since he won the championship a few years back, it seems his Yamaha was not competitive. Apparently Yamaha is making improvements.

Most adult Americans have a bit of extra weight. Save money, cut down on the Big Macs instead of buying lighter parts.

Scott Zupner has H2's and RD's, lives in Kihei.  He hasn't been riding much, if you see a '72 or '75 H2 on the road, wave and maybe you can meet up with him.
