I am a new member here and this is my first post. I am a big fan of the RD350 and R-5 motorcycles and am ready to buy my first one. I am currently located in...
I currently have a oil pump gasket leak. I've since drained the oil from the oil tank. Can I still run the bike with no oil in oil tank and just premix in...
I don't think you'll find replacing the gasket is much of a job. Having to mix gas & oil every time you need gas is a pain. I had one once and my current R5...
Well, it's the beginning of the month again, and I was asleep at the wheel (handle bars?). So I figured, what the hey, I'll put my bike up. I promise to do...
--Your bike deserves to be up there just like the rest of ours and it's well deserving of the BTM .It's a fine R5! I hope you bring it to the whiterose show...
And don't forget, you have to increase the jet sizes for premix. Not worth it when you have a perfectly good pump and tank. Dave ... Having to mix gas & oil...
Ok it seems I opened up some problems. I can't get my bike start now. Here's what happened: On Thursday (last day I rode it) - I drove it around the...
Thanks Ed, I checked my schedule and I'm not on-call that week, so I am clear for Whiterose. I'll most likely bring the 74 RD250. The R5 is running great, but...
I would say yes, drain it all out. Probably be a good time to pull the carbs and clean them too, your pilot jets may be clogged. As I stated before, you are...
Hello folks, am about ready to go pick up the bike tomorrow. I had a few questions pertaining to the decals/design on the tank and also the 350 badge on the...
- It's all done with paint on R5's there are NO DECALS. You need to take detailed measurments and lay it out.First the tank is shot white,then the orange...
Hi Everyone, I'm sort of new to the group. I joined the old R5 Yahoo group last year but I got temporarily distracted from the restoration of my '72 R5 while I...
The 350 on the side panels is a metal embelem, not a sticker. They come up on Ebay all the time, usually attached to side covers and oil tanks in various...
Hahahaha, after I typed the previous message, I went to HVC's site to look around. Lo and behold, they have the R5 350 badges. Brad is the man! Dave ... come ...
I drained all the gas in the tank and cleaned out the carbs. I put fresh gas in the tank and went to kick start and again no start. I pulled the plugs and...
--the bike needs 3 things to start,spark, air,and fuel.Too much air and no start.Too much gas and no start.Not enough air,no start,not enough fuel no start,...
Alan, If the bike ran well before you added the pre-mix and you didn't change any settings, then try to think of what you did in the process that might have...
Bob, I didn't change any settings. It ran last Thursday and it sat over the weekend. All I did was drain the oil tank and add some pre-mix in the gasoline...
Alan, You will get it running and later laugh at what stopped it. After recently cleaning the carbs on my FZR400 for the first time, it wouldn't start after...
Do you have a new set of plugs to try? If they were fouled, you might as well throw them away, they aren't going to start your bike. And plugs are inexpensive....
Yup I put a new set in even though the old ones looked ok. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile ... From: "David" <manfromtriumph@...> Date: Wed, 04 Jun...
... There is one thing you need to do that you haven't. You need to try to start the bike,pull the plugs out IMEDIATLY and tell us if they are wet or dry.This...
