Ah yes, bit of a road block for me at the moment, so might be a while, plus so many bits missing I am trawling the net, one tip is certainly get alot of brand new parts not much difference to second hand ones on eBay and FB. YZF350Z loads of parts available. So check out Yamaha parts online, then Yambits, then FB or eBay in that order. I have a massive spreadsheet to compare costs. Currently I am fixing up an old oven (Free) to try powder coating.

I am sure you know what to check, but in case start with stone cold engine, take radiator cap off and check level. Start bike up with cap still off. Watch for water level to drop when thermo opens. Sometimes that shows a big drop in water levels also if you see bubbles that indicates head or base gaskets leaking and pressurising the system. If you dont see water level drop in the radiator neck then check thermo is opening by dropping it into boiling water and check gap is open. Don't be tempted to leave it out, you can get cold seizures.

@@powervalvepetesgarage appreciate the response. i checked it, i did remove thermo as well to see, and i placed it back in, in all cases, temp guage it a little past the 3/4 mark. ill check that pump see if somehing is off... i know the shop did a compression test but i guess ill have to look at that next.....

just with metal polishing compound? What do you use?

Hi Fred, are they different, only looking at the parts catalogue the primary gear is the same part number on the RZ250 85 and 85 and RZ350 85 and 85 (4L0-16111) or did you miss putting it on at all by mistake.

Yes its all gold I tell ya 🤣

Glad to know someone likes the videos, and yes major headache regarding the engine next episode.

They seem to have come up well, so will try them out for a while, else like you say try and get new second hand ones. Issue is they are split into two for each carb. Fingers crossed though I think the old ones will work.

@@powervalvepetesgarage The bicycle brake cables don't have be used ones they're really cheap to buy new The one I got from a used bike was just what I needed on the day I was fitting a VM36 Mikuni, the original SR carburettor has two cables and the Mikuni only needs one, I was able to make an outer cable from one of the originals by using the two angled metal tubes from the throttle ends one on each end of the outer cable this gave extra length needed for the conversion and worked really well for frame clearance at the carburettor end but the original inner cables were too short to use so I used that bicycle's inner cable instead I probably would have bought a new bicycle cable but I suppose it was a Sunday or sometime when the local bicycle shops in the rural town I live in were closed As I said that was about 80,000 kilometres ago and it's still working At the moment I'm actually waiting on the delivery of a 5 mitre length of throttle cable that I've bought for the fittings and rubber covers and pieces that come in this cable kit more than the cable itself I've recently replaced all the other cables clutch speedometer tachometer and decompression so I'm making it a new throttle cable as well I only mentioned the bicycle cable because it's good to know they can be used if need be

Its from Hare and Forbes (AU equivalent of Harbour Freight) has been very good especially for sand blasting where you need a lot of air, but does not need 3 phase power. Ross V Twin 205 litres/min. I did have a cheap little compressor before which still works so hooked it up in parallel to boost the size of the tanks and it kicks in if the Ross is running out of puff. www.machineryhouse.com.au/Articles/ross-air-compressor.

Yes good point, rarely used but good for extraction. Will pop them on my wish list.

That sounds like a great idea!👍

I'll give it ago see if I have a white crayon somewhere

@@powervalvepetesgarage They'll have some in the marketing department at your work....

​@garyprince2867 no they got taken away due to being eaten 😅

Yeah risky but seemed to work. I've tried amourall and it does work well. I've also seen people use a plastic restore system that uses wipes and they work extremely well but a bit $$ and I lost the bookmark for them in Amazon. If anyone knows please post a link. The RD350LC Facebook group posted about them.

I didn't think anyone would notice, but you're the second person. I'll see if a dab of paint in there would work. Failing that tipex 😂

Glad someone is watching them and getting some fun out of them. I mainly started to make the videos as a sort of personal diary and it does help with the build process to refer to pictures before I take things apart. Sadly though there is a major part that is not correct (Still), you'll see that in about 2 videos time. Not all is lost though as I have managed to get some correct parts.

Yes its probably quicker to buy new stock items but they'll be a time when you can't get this stuff anywhere.

I'm in the same boat with limited skill, and it's making me broke. Very much appreciate the help.

The little compressor works well but slow, maybe 5 mins to get enough pressure to get you to a petrol station to fully pump the tyres. The little rubber plugs are the real deal, I have use mushroom plugs and some metal device that pushes them in but they just dont seal. The rubber bungs I use have lasted the life of a tyre including trackdays etc. I did also use to carry little CO2 canisters which work but tend to be heavy and bouncing around in you tail storage is a bit annoying. Fort Nine did a good review of tyre puncture kits, he had same conclusion.

I see Jaycar local electronics shop sells it, so might get some next time I am passing, apparently there are also greases you can apply to prevent further gumming up of contacts.

My second one seems to be holding up, if it goes again, Ill ignore it or fabricate one from cheap car oil sensor.

Thanks for the feedback, glad its helping out some people, next video is about the switch gear and I experiment with making my own decals for the Left Right Turn, lights etc.

Awesome glad it helped out.

Ah is this a reference to a certain Del Garage and Dirty Garage review, I have not watch it yet.
