My first post I thought best way to start and say hi,
Bought my first rd 350r, I’ve been looking at a two stroke for about 7 years not really knowing what I was looking for, I’ve had a few xt600’s over the years rebuilds I’ve had a few so for me when a red and white yami rd came up for sale on gumtree I bought it with out insulting the guy I give him the asking price as I thought I was getting a bargain,
One owner never been on the road since 2001 it’s in very good condition just needs tank sorting, has rust inside, new throttle cable, all fluids changing, it’s starts very easy so not much to sort before the summer months are back,
I live in Penshaw, Houghton-le-Spring area so would be good to meet up with others to see what I’ve let myself in for,
I’ll upload a picture or two when I get a chance
Thanks
G

Welcome to the forum mate, you will find all the help and knowledge you require on here. Also there are a good few lads from the north east on here, so you’re in good company.
Good luck with the ‘refresh’

Hi G Welcome to the forum Bike looks lovely - it's got the earlier wheels fitted which I prefer look wise Enjoy your new bike Dusty Hello dusty its funny as the wheels is the only thing I don't like, I did a search and the colour that seems the most likely colour is white, i don't want to do anything to these wheels so I'll look for a well used second set and have them powder coated white. |

Hi The correct wheels are a different design - slotted spokes rather then "holed" as yours are. There are plenty of pics on the forum of them. I like white wheels on white bikes too You've started modifying it already !! You're in good company  Enjoy Dusty |
