Hi All, I just picked up an orange and black '72 R5C that needs restoration. I'm only experienced with Triumphs (currently riding a '78 Bonneville) so this...
Jesse, welcome to the group. Participation is sporadic, at best. I'll take your questions in order: 1. The wiring diagram in the manual doesn't show a kill...
No kill switch, key is frigged up, and aside from blowing youself up, shake away or try Evaporust since it works without damaging remaining steel. ... From:...
We are seeking bikers to ride with, and take to biker rally. Now, lots of bikers joined. Many biker girls, boys, women and men gather here. If you want to join...
Thanks alot, Dave! I'll see if I can incite some participation in this group. I'm sure I'll have alot more questions and will be posting quite often. :-) ...
Thanks, Chris. I just looked at the Evaporust website. Sounds almost too good to be true! Have you used this stuff before? What did you do? Just fill the gas...
I actually sell the stuff. Just fill the tank and give it a day or two and it removes the rust. It works as advertized but isn't cheap. It can be reused for a...
Really? Paint the inside of the gas tank? What is the reason for that? And how would you do it? Wouldn't gasoline dissolve the paint? ... two and it removes...
Well, you are right about that. There are coatings that can resist gasoline but the only paints I know of are two part catylized linear polyurethane, but I'm...
The kill switch is the ignition switch I've got 7 tanks....fragile ? never heard that before. Start by getting yourself a complete set of metric wrenches and...
If you are alone and want to find a hot girl for riding, this must be the right place for you. Thousands of people are seeking friends online for riding. If...
Yeah, I thought that comment about "fragile" tanks sounded silly. Already got all the metric wrenches. Time to get serious this weekend... :-) Thanks, Jesse ...
Have you done a 1972 Yamaha before? I've got loads of site and advice. There are 2 types of tank liners...cream and Pors-15. Go for the Pors kit. It includes...
Wow! Thanks for all the info, George! I have never done a Yamaha before. The only bikes I've worked on are '70s Triumphs. This will be a first for me. Thanks...
I'll defiantly second the perks on the POR-15 kit, I bought mine and I think it was at my door the next day, very good stuff, strips the tank bare and then...
Hi All, Here are some photos of my bike. I am going to try and get some better ones over the weekend. Enjoy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jtroy Cheers, Jesse...
Hi. Photos are always good. Interesting to see how other r5 owners view their bikes. Mine still in garage but being tempted every time I view this site. Got...
Thanks for the pics.... do you plan to stay with the racing exhaust? Stock exhaust, when you can find it, are proably the most expensive part on the...
I only reject my carbs when I'm mad at them! ;-) Expansion chambers and exhausts do not change the combustion chamber, they just change the way the engine...
Sorry, that should have been expansion chambers and air filters. BTW Jesse, that bike has the makings of a real nice project. I love those Torque Eng....
The bike does not run right now. It will take some work to get it going. The wiring looks a mess and there is no battery. The engine turns over freely, though,...
Thanks, Dave. :-) I'm excited about the project. When its all done I'd like to take it to White Rose in Pennsylvania for the Vintage Japanese Show...maybe in a...
... Hi, that is a clean R5 you got. I myself have a DS7 I'm hoping to restore one day. It currently has a seized crank. I have a pair of stock 1 piece R5...

You may want to look into the condition of your pistons and cylinders. I was having a problem get mine up 80 mph for two years. I was hearing a lot of piston...
The only 2 cents I have to add is. Get a "real" 2 stroke threaded dial indicator, To check your timing. They cost about $120, but it better than a holed...
Very good point! Timing must be set accurately with a good dial indicator, and a multi meter or test light, and don't just set it once, set each points and...
