Hello

[marrobham]

Hello all - I've finally decided to hop on board this site. It's mighty impressive I must say. Well, i'm situated in Welly, and looking to get my RZ500 back on the road as it threw a rod just over a year ago...

Been lazy as since then, with the machine in storage. But now, I feel the time is right to get her smokin' again.

Well, I look forward to chattin to y'all and generally checking out the sight and getting back into motorcycling again.

Welcome to the site marrobham! :wavey:

I hope you get your RZ back on the road soon, you'll have to look up the Meeting & Events forum for local rides down that way...if you're into group rides that is?

Hey dude. Welcome to the site! Good to see another welly rider...make sure you get out and come on one of our rides when you get your beastie going again.

Nice one!

Welcome.

Hope you get back on the road before the end of summer.

Yay, another Wellingtonian. Once you get your bike out of storage keep an eye out for the Thursday night rides which are posted here :)

Good to see another RZ500 rider. I see you have the jap import aluminum framed RZ, quite light. Have you derestricted it yet from 68hp??
Hope that the recon goes smoothly. I have a 86 RZ500N at 26,000KM plus a H2 750 triple.
Regards Kal

Gidday Kalz, ahh, you've got the NZ model - groovy. Yeah, derestricting was one of the first things I did, and it helped, but even then the motor was a bit baggy so I probably didn't end up with anywhere near the HP you've got.
Slight worry over rebuild before I've even started it: paid for a top crank, head and barrell from a guy in Canada 11 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived.
Nice low ks on your machine I see- it still running factory bores?

Welcome aboard the site. How far away is yr bike from being roadworthy?

Hello, top end and maybe a crank rebuild too. chassis etc is good 'tho the shock also needs a rebuild and forx rechromed or renewed... it might realistically be next spring now. But we'll see how it goes.
