Most of you are familiar with this bike from my various posts about the fuel tank / no spark so I figured I'd just put it all together in one thread. Like most of these things I got carried away and started going through the whole bike and ended up making a small video series showing the progress. Taking the bike out of storage after about 15years  Home sweet home  |

Thanks guys; it really means a lot!
Going over this bike was a good learning experience and gave me a lot more confidence as I go forward with the H2.
I'm a bit nervous about the Z1 but thats still a couple bikes down the list to refine my skills. 😜

That's a drag, sorry about your luck there Steve. Hope it works out...stay warm! It aint a new disappointment for me Bud. EVERY year I plan to get up for the January show and have not made it yet. Blew all the egg money but at least I have a working furnace and I have treated the fuel tank again with Kero and anti gell liquids. One bright spot, albeit temporary comfort. The -45 shit is not until tonight.... :-( It was a balmy -11 at 5 AM |

Love the 73 Rd ,had a 74 back in the day. What a great bike it was. My buddy had a new 75 Rd 350. wheelie prone ,touchy throttle,fouled plugs like crazy and horrible fuel mileage all the opposite to what mine was.To make it worse the dealer couldn't figure it out and Yamaha was stumped ,he ended up trading in for a New 76 Suzuki GT 500
