MY Yamaha RD 350 pictures

Rice_tuner · 10th June 2007, 23:13

hey everybody thanx for the apreciation...sorry cud'nt reply earlier...was outta town...(btw, my bikes not for sale...i thought this thread was for posting pix...)

its running points. Might consider an RDD CDI kit if i get one easily.

@noidaboy: the rejetting was basically done because of the KN&N, basically does'nt really make a huge diff as such...prolly 5-7% more power.
the porting made a huge difference tho...the power band is similar to an HT. Huge torque between 4.8K-7K rpms

@Vaabs:: will post some new pics soon. The bike aint that shiny now :( have'nt been looking after it for a month (have my darn exams going)
cheers

vamsi - ur bike looks awesome - even the rear brake light looks like the original - very diff to get one with the red side circles - normally one gets the reg light with orange side circles

how come such a low mileage done on the bike ? was it lying unused ?

Thanks !!!!!!Indeed the rear brake light is original. I lost the reflector on the left hand side of the LENS.
The bike was used very rarely. Infact he drove only 2000Km from 1994.
And trust me ,It goes as it looks

Vamsi that on very well maintained and beautiful looking RD I have seen after a long time. I just love the colour. I seriously envy you.

Nice one but get the original Blinkers as can see you are using crap RX Blinkers.They cost around 2k for front each and 1500 for rear each.

Not the lances check the complete unit, its having rubber base not the matel one which is sign of original RD blinkers.They are bit bigger in length also and uses 27W bulbs.

ravi@64bhp · 20th June 2007, 15:02

These are the best kept RD350's I have seen in the recent past. Though I did not get any chance to ride this beast, I have my high respect for this. Hope to ride this beast soon.

ajay, the owner of the the bike seems to be a fool. what you can make out by merely looking at a photograph, he can't even make out by standing next to the bike.

good to hear you ride an 84 HT.
