Not sure if this is any help Rd80lc (5r2 shape) Rz50 Same engine different bore Just looked at both bikes parts numbers comparing the 80 to the 50 and they both have the same part numbers for all the parts you ask about with the ysr You did two pumps for my 80’s last year I would imagine the pumps could be similar? So is it just a case of setting it different from the 50 to the 80 or is it more involved than that. I couldn’t find the settings for the rz50 pump but I do have the settings for the Rd80lc pump. I was just about to post the same thoughts on settings for the 50 & 80 may be set to different marks .

The wife's car was stolen from our driveway a few years back, they never came round - just issued a crime number - they didnt even bother at all !
My work van was hit in a Morrisons car park by a woman driving badly, my van was parked, I was working on a service call out at the store and it was all seen by a trolley man and myself as I was walking back to the van, so we had the car reg, the woman got out and was swearing and abusive to the trolley man as he tried to speak to her about the accident and damage done to my van , she got back in her car and started to drive off again as I arrived , I got to the van as she spun the wheels and tore off, her vehicle was not taxed and we suspected she was drunk as the trolley man said she smelt badly of alcohol - I rang the police and reported the accident, I gave them the registration, full description of the vehicle and of the woman and that she was suspected to be drink driving, they told me to drive to a police station 20 miles away near where I live and do a statement later in the day ? I said WTF ! are you not going to pursue this car, she has just left the car park and could hit someone else, the reply was we will look into it . A few days later the same woman was back at the same Morrisons car park driving the same car in the same state and was swearing and abusive to store staff and then left, again she was reported by a member of the public and a staff member for driving a vehicle in that state - so they clearly had done nothing to stop her driving a vehicle that was certainly not taxed, probably not insured and probably not mot'd, she was clearly drink driving - but they had clearly done nothing to stop her driving it. My van had to go in to the body shop and have a new sliding door and rear quarter panel - the company insurance had to pay for the damage.
Yet they are quick to go hiding in bushes, in bus stops, behind trees and walls with speed guns, driving unmarked cars and riding unmarked bikes up and down our roads around here trying to catch people out -they are sticking average speed cameras where they can get away with putting them, they are buying more and more camera vans - its got fook all to do with accidents - its all a bloody big cash cow ! and they are certainly cashing in on it !

If anyone who lives in the UK fancies entering a charity raffle for a Classic RD350LC then visit one of my friends facebook group - All the details are on his group.
Highland Rider Motorbike Tours
The ticket price is £40 and there is only 120 tickets in the charity auction, so the odds are good !
I have my bought my tickets ! 😊
The draw is made by a very reputable third party involved with the racing scene.
There has been a few previous draws, but I thought this might be of interest to some people on here as its a Classic RD350LC

I have got a knackered knee as well, now in the referral queue to see a surgeon to see what they are going to do to it. it seems to be a fairly common issue with us lads in our age group !

I test rode a MT09 just over year ago , it was a nice bike, it rode well around the roads near the NEC, not sure if I was over keen on the look of the bike but the performance was ok. My mate bought an MT07 he said he is well pleased with it .

Its certainly unusual, not really my cup of tea although I do like some touches, but it certainly looks like someone has done a smart job of it .

Send a PM to Kev (redbimota on here), as he always has nice imported original 250LCs and 350LCs, some of which need very little work to make very nice. I sent a couple of text messages and left a couple of voicemails ref that RD bike for sale by Kev last week to try and view it, one of my mates local to him was going to look at for me, but that person called Kev didnt respond, so perhaps he has sold it or he is working away abroad at the moment or on holiday, I bought a different bike instead.

If you just want to have a bimble around, you can do the lunchtime parade laps for free, assuming you are not too pissed! :-) A few FS1E's have done the bimble laps in the past.... My fizzies have been ridden around on the parade laps over the years, Looey took my Wineberry fizzy around nearly three years ago, I rode my Fizzy Blackngold special around last July .

Ive never done a track day, but I'm almost 22 stone and not built for racing shall we say. I do like beer though, so can I come and just drink? I do have a 350lc, x7, x7 race bike a like and I'm picking a tdr250 up next week. I have to admit I am no lightweight myself at 17st although I am trying to lose a bit again, just look at me in the rogues gallery thread, I still took my RG 250 out on track last year and rode it on the Saturday sessions, when your in the novice group, no one is judging you, I was by no means quick around the track, one lad who races regularly was very quick around the track, there were a few very talented riders , then there was a few of us that were having fun just getting around the track at our own pace. It was well worth the £139 I paid. The previous couple of times I went I spectated and had lots of beer ! Either way its a great social weekend away.
