    There was a guy in our town with a yamaha Rd50dx in 1980. I had a Zündapp ks 50wc with Drum Brakes and both run around 95 km/h flat The Yamaha was defenitly not tuned! You can find tests from German "Motorrad, where Rd50dx was tested between 90 and 95kn/h in the net. Ten years ago I had a Rd50Mx with the ysr 50 motor from 1982. It run 75 km/h when i got it. Somwhere in the net I found the ignition timing for the ysr and mine was set wrong. With this change it did 80 and was much faster in acceleration. I changed the sprocket and: 90km/h. In an Article from 'Motorrad' was a description of how to set the timing for the old Rd50dx. Many used the wrong setting from Rd50M and had no Power. Maybe that's your problem

      I recently received the article from another follower with those tests. Very interesting article! As far as I remember the ignition was set correctly, but later on I swapped it for an HPI ignition. Recently though the piston destroyed itself so it no longer runs, sadly enough. I was still looking for the missing power. Also these were short acceleration tests doing a 400m sprint, not a top speed run. It did go 75-80 when going all out on a long road

    Yamaha won't have over geared the bike so that leaves two possibilities, either the engine is not running correctly or someone has messed about with the gearing. Your calculated BHP would indicate that the engine is 'sick' (not in a good way!) Just for something fun to do a couple of years ago I purchased a basket case of a Honda MT5, they were restricted to 30 MPH in the UK, I had one 40 years ago when I was 16. Anyway I've thrown all my 2 stroke knowledge at my 'new' MT5, it's doing an easy 55 MPH (88 KPH) even through I weight twice as much as I did when I was 16. The powerband on my bike is also pretty narrow, 7500 to 9500 RPM, because of this I've replaced the stock 5 speed box with a 6 speed box from an MTX 80.

      In the meantime I did find some small things that could've been improved and some of them did help. The biggest one being swapping the mikuni carb for a dellorto. I have big suspicion the original carb has been tampered with. I'm suspecting the needle and the emulsion tube don't match. I have some new carbs to test, but I'm making some plans to actually make my own small dyno so I can properly test it! But I'm lacking some time currently. I'm slowly gathering parts and ideas to complete it 😁

    Benelli were very clever in cutting down on their R&D costs. I have a Suzuki GT250 and the engine looks very similar as well as the same HP at 32hp. Benelli also copied Honda with their 4 stroke bikes. I grew up in the 70's and this was a big talking point. Personally I would change the carbs for Mikuni as the jetting appears identical too. I have no problem setting up my twin carbs. I have old Italian bikes as well as Japanese... Italian beautiful to look at.. Japanese easy to work on 😂 Good luck with the build and i have now subscribed 👍

      Thanks for the reply. I JUST picked up a used one today. I really didn't need much to press the clutch lever. Very similar to your video. The lever was close to the hand grip. I bought this to learn how to ride a manual transmission bike as I'm used to riding Super Cubs. I forgot to press the clutch once going from 2nd to 3rd, and it kind of engaged, so I thought it was weird. That's when I started check UA-cam for videos. Now, the clutch lever is "usual" (I also adjusted from the handle bars), but now I hear this light screeching sound. Too tight somewhere? Clutch plates?? I don't remember hearing it, but I could be wrong. I watched your other video too and you said it was slipping. As this is the first time for me to ride a manual bike, I really don't know what that feels like, so it's a learning curve for me. As it was already night here in Tokyo, and I don't have a garage, I'll check this out tomorrow morning. BTW, mine is this 1996 model www.bikebros.co.jp/catalog/2/92_1/#spec_top Helpful channel you've got and nice collection of bikes. @@VintageGarageYT

If the engine starts going up in rpm but the speed stays the same, thats a slipping clutch. Screeching noises are also not normal. Could be clutch adjustment indeed. They are very fidly to get right 😅
