Good onya Ant and AJ & Mudboy for helpin Chanceyy out! U4ea, that grin says it all alright!Looks like a kid in a candy store!
Congrats chancey!! I'm stoked for ya hon!!!![]()
Cool bike.....I had an 83 RD350LC tricked up and an 85 RD350YPVS and still great bikes.....2 strokes are underrated...............the carbs are easy to balance, should have a hole on side with mark although I ised to stick my ears next to and listen for the drop and I used to take the baffles out every 2 weeks, pour petrol on and set light and then wire brush.
Congrats.........
Oh and I found handling peaked after 80mph....aparently the frames were designed that way.......everything just seemed to flow after 80mph...........got 135 out of mine.
They used to have a race series for the YPVS................hence a hight theft rate of around 80%..............tis true.
I had mine from new and was told that the YPVS kick depended on how it was run in..................
yeah well sugi sure had fun giving her a blat took her a few mins to clear her lungs etc .. but I think she enjoyed it .. esp if the sparks were anything to go by
dunno that I will be as fast as sugi ...... YET..... but am sure I will get around to testing that powerband on more than one occassion.. just need to develop that feel for her ..

first off what an awesum weekend its been
with the crew on friday nite sorting out the new fluids & sussing out a few issues,
then BBQ at sels last nite (blardy great to catch up with everyone again, great company great food & of course liquid refreshments, although for me they had to wait til I got home since i was sober driver, but got to bed about 3.30am .. ouch)
sunday morning is here before you know it ... after my weekly phone call with my mum, & sneaking quitely outta the house to deal with my horses (for sum funny reason I think i had a slight hangover or was i just tired) & picking up u4ea it was back to my house to deal with muh bike today ..
fortunately 86gsxr was awake & had the bike outta the shed (after getting saturated by the hose heheheheheh bet that woke ya) it was time to pull her apart & deal with sum more issues ..
Alistair managed to fix the rev counter (speedo is next time) battery terminals (yeee haaa battery is now working) we have a list of the things that need fixing .. top of lists are .. INFLATE those tyres ..replace sprockets & chain ..rear suspension ... rubber peice in middle has perished .. tank bolt .. a few welds ...
while alistair was fiddling with motor bits ... jodi (u4ea) worked mostly on getting crap off the fairings ..( I was helping ... honest .... it was my job to keep everyone hydrated coffee & then berocca were essential, & of course lunch ..)
Ant arrived back just as Alistair was gearing up .. so did not take much of a prod to get Alistair to take her for a cruise down the road .. this time no smoke trail .. & ypvs system came into play quite nicely .. but still on nearly flat tyres was not a real nice ride yet ... but a smile came out no less ...
anyhow since my connection is crappy I will post pics later on (rural dial up suxs lemons) but she is looking real purty
thanks to Jodi for all your help today in cleaning her& Alistair thanks buddy you rock ..
great company, great conversation, & plenty of laughs .. what an awesum weekend ..
