It may get hosted on a mate's server at some point, but it will be a dead site at that point with no further updates, just existing for people to read whats already been wrote etc.

Finally determined I have two spare sets of gears and shifters for an LC and none for a YPVS, so my plans to build up an RZ motor with the unused no serial number case are on hold until I can find something. Looks like every Yamaha model has subtle changes. TZR is quite different. Banshee has some similarities. I have been poring over the parts lists and diagrams. As far as I can tell the YFZ350 Banshee clutch shaft 2GU17411 might be the same length and has the same number of teeth 23 on the primary drive? I know the banshee gears are different but I would use the LC set. I believe the Banshee output shaft 29L17421 is the same. I cannot tell if the shift drum 2GU18540 is different. Has anyone researched this better than I can?

RZ on the right. Only difference I can see is a chamfer on the end next to the selector. No functional difference. What was the worst that could happen? One up five down?

Loving the Sti! Assume youre in Melbourne? I have a set of '247' cylinders on my resto LC. I decided to do them like they were back in the day, but moulded the 2s on the 250 cyl and made new ones and stuck them on. pics on my website (see sig). Looks like at least one offset fuel cap as well. nice! Good project! Yes I am in Ringwood, east of Melbourne in Victoria, gateway to the hills, the Dandenongs, the Black Spur and Reefton Spur where normally a steady stream of bikes passes through on the weekend. I enjoyed reading your descriptions over on your website. Hi mate I’m in Ringwood East and just starting the work on my RZ resto. We will have to get together when we get these things going. Nice to know there’s someone local Mick

I am another RD/RZ nut located not too far from JonW enjoying this thread, good to see some more of these wonderful bikes being bought back to life.

Has anyone researched this better than I can? Took me a while but I have worked out that the difference between the shafts is the first gear ratio. Banshee has 13 teeth on the shaft compared to 14 on the RZ. I could always go with a higher first from the Banshee box.

I now have three spare transmissions for the LCs. What was described as being removed from an RZ350 turned out not to be the case. I can see how people build a collection of bits over the years and then embark on another resurrection. All good fun but a bit like Christmas, a big build up, spending too much, lots of anticipation waiting for the day and a bit of a letdown. Time to stop getting distracted and back onto the LC. Tear it right down and use the best bits from the collection I think is the best way to go.

is it missing the neutral switch trigger? Discovered another difference with the Banshee. It does not have a neutral indicator as it does not have clocks. Wiring harness does not include the neutral wire but parts diagram does show the same neutral switch as used on 1000's of Yamahas.

More fun with the vapour blaster Cylinders came up well but I think I might paint these Cases also pretty good, just knocked off the loose paint ready to repaint. Drying in the sun, lovely 27C 81F today Clutch cover/pressure plate came up well but I turned it over and had never noticed the broken spring lands before. Other one was quite pitted but OK where it counts. Chucked it on the lathe and smoothed it off a bit. I hope I have another one somewhere.

US$20 in USA, $70 in Aus if you want new ones. A new one is on the way ex US $21.88USD=$28.80AUD ends up as $57AUD. Shipping, gst, duty, bank charges doubles the cost. That's what we pay for living in this lucky country. And why these bikes are selling for well over 10k restored.

shouldnt be any gst/duty on imports from smaller companies as under the 1k limits. Thanks Jim Australian Tax Office advises: Goods with a customs value of A$1,000 or less (referred to as low value goods) that you purchase from overseas may now include goods and services tax (GST). GST will apply at the point of sale in the same way it does when you buy goods from a business in Australia. I might be lazy jonw but I do use eBay and it is reliable and paypal has money back guarantees which I have needed. I have tried other avenues and been disappointed. Amazon works on some things very well but some things will not ship here. Wish and AliExpress take forever and just seem to have the same stuff as eBay. Gumtree and facebook marketplace are full of scammers and I cannot tell the decent ones. I have had some success dealing directly with companies in the US like Wicked Motorsport, but it is interesting to see the tracking info from some of them travel across the US to Erlanger Kentucky by Fedex and be handed over to Australia Post Global and disappear for weeks. GST is added to all eBay purchases from overseas, no matter how small and everything coming from the US has import costs added. Stuff from Singapore has it all included in the price. Strangely, second hand parts from Germany have quite low shipping and no import charges but they stopped shipping this year and refunded my purchases. Ordering new parts when available from Yamaha Australia has been a mixed bag with mid to high pricing and some things turning up very quickly and some on back order to Japan for months.

Sadly yamaha dealers in Aus keep very little stock for the LC's, with the demise of EMS from Japan, as in they don't ship to here, due to covid, parts now take 3 months
I ordered a few bits within the last 6 months, they get here however the ship does take it's time
From what I can gather Partzilla and others in the US won't ship to Aus any more for similar reasons and the fact that there are very few air freighter planes that have space available, whereas before the parts would come via passenger planes too
Parts still arrive from the UK with varying degrees of success, one part took 6 months to reach me
Postage from Aus to the UK is very hexy too, $25 to send a USB worth $6

Black satin or gloss for the LC barrels and head? Just read some other threads on paint and the consensus is a satin that does not dry matt for the heads and barrels, gloss for sidecases. Am I correct in thinking the earlier cases were not painted but later top case was. My 81 5E1 and 82 5E0 are unpainted but all my RZ cases 34J, 1GA, 1XH are painted. The no serial number case is much shinier maybe because it is unused.

LC unpainted cases, RZ only the top case. I do mine all satin as it looks better. I use VHT from autobarn(s) as thats usually the cheapest place to buy it.

What youve found with Aussie parts is as Howard says totally right. Prices are all over the place, the parts book contains a lot of NLA stuff you can order... but its still NLA of course so you get refunded yet its rarely updated after so they keep going round that loop. And yes... Not much stock in Aus, thats normal for the modern world, dealers dont want money tied up in stock, nor do the importers. The 3 months is a boat ride from Japan as there are no planes - no tourists = no cheap air freight.
Our govt went round the world asking big companies to collect gst on money we spent outside of the country. ebay, amazon etc etc etc all were good targets for them and complied. Personal purchases, sending to a mate 'in-country' to send on and small companies werent worth the govt visit and didnt have the IT dept to sort that. Buy from them not the others if you can.
