Thanks RDnutz for your contribution. If my fantasy of putting a bushing in the kickstart hole pans out I may be able to use these cases, otherwise I'm at the mercy of ebay. Yamaha must have had a thing for kickstart shaft/pocket damage, every shaft I see on ebay has damage. BTW, you like your big bore 2 strokes I see!

Thank you M in SC!

Turning Wrenches / 1977 Yamaha IT175 Engine Cases

Question on a rebuild of the title bike - is it acceptable/immoral to mix engine cases (i.e. use cases from two different engines) or are they machined and intended to be used as a set? IT 175 cases are vertically split, and on mine one case side has major kickstart shaft and pocket damage. Thanks!

Had a 90's 600 triple for many years and loved it. Had a chance to ride a new Arctic Cat 800 twin a couple years ago and it was amazing. Pulled like a train from idle to top end. I think it was in the 150 hp range.

Yeah love the concept but the upswept tail is a bit strange. But who doesn't love a 2 stroke triple?

Good one to figure out Steve. It looks like you're giving the wiring harness the finger in that pic.

I have a brand new 2013 date coded Dunlop 90/90 that never went on a bike I sold. It has been sitting in the garage (no sunlight) since then, wondering your opinions on should I install this tire on my RZ or is it too old to expend the effort on? Thanks!

Forgot yours was blue Heave, good looking bike.

I've had good results with Evaporust (RZ tanks), but have never tried lining one. Brazing pinholes shut didn't go too well either. Good luck on your efforts - beautiful bike.

Sweet. Nothing sounds like a triple. Didn't realize Honda made a triple for GP racing.

Jeez. How many of those brand new are out there.

Got it Heave. The orange 75 wrecked by many.
