This is how I used my R5 for 22 years Dave!!!! I beat the daylights out of it but in a loving way mind you and it treated me really well This photo was in 2006...
- I'm usually very happy to answer these questions but sometimes I can get testy when they are about things that are really basic common sense.It's really good...
Post them up everybody! Show us your bike(s), whether they be projects or complete. Ed, I really like that shot of your bike loaded to the point of popping a...
Rory, Any of the old FAQs you can dig up and post will most certainly be welcome. Personally, I don't have a problem with helping people out with my meager...
I know I was one the people asking questions that were posted before. Im sure a lot of the time you guys were pretty pissed about some of the basic or...
Good luck trying to do it that way Dan. These guys can't be bothered going into the old posts to look for answers to their questions before they post 'cause...
No, i don't have time to go back and PDF all the important posts. Be much quicker if each of us bring over a topic of interest and file in the proper folder....

-- Don't be fooled by the way the sleeve looks .There is a reason Yamaha only made pistons up to 65 mm . The sleeve ,even though it looks thick enough, will...
Sorry, I should have made my comments more clear, I currently have, on my running 1970 R5, a set of cylinders that are measured at 65.25mm, I stripped the...
... The buzz on large overbores, from what I understand, is that so little steel is left in the sleeve that you can run into cooling problems. That is why I...
