General Chatter / Sighted in Seal Beach - RD125
Last post by SoCal250 - April 27, 2024, 10:52:18 PMI was out on a 30-mile ride on the RD125 today and rode by this parked in downtown Seal Beach. It was a little bizarre, sitting on a RD125 and taking a photo of another RD125. 
You certainly don't see many of these around so I thought it must belong to a guy I know who said he traded for one recently that was given to a friend as part of an estate sale. I messaged him and sure enough he said it's his. It only has about 2500 miles, but wasn't running when he got it. He just got it running again.
It doesn't look so hot now but I'm guessing that it will be immaculate sometime soon. He has a RD200B with chromed Higgspeed chambers that is amazing. As for the front wheel looking so much better than the rest of the bike...he said when he got it, it had the wrong front rim on it, so he built a new one with re-zinced spokes.

Turning Wrenches / Cool VOM with buzzer
Last post by RDDave - April 27, 2024, 09:44:52 PMThis little gem of a Volt Ohm Meter also has the buzzer for setting timing. I have one. It works just fine. Not bad for $14.99 shipped. I just thought I would mention it in case anyone needs one.

Turning Wrenches / Re: Another coil question
Last post by dgorms - April 27, 2024, 08:04:09 PMMy first real street bike was a 71 750 Commando! PO told me to check electrical connections frequently. I did it twice a month and dressed the points, never had a problem. Also did a nut and bolt at the same time.
