RZ350 RZ FZ FZR Project Motorcycle Ep 1 Overview of some of the upgrades and modifications.

This is a 1985 Yamaha RZ350 project bike I started many years ago. It is nearly complete now. This video provides an overview of some of the restoration and/or modifications done to the motorcycle. I have completed other bikes, rebuilt and modified some others, added to my horde, etc., always pushing this one aside. The poor thing. But here we are in Covid 2020 and if I don’t get this machine started by the end of this year, it will be very early next year. I expect it to run very good with the upgrades and modifications done to it.

The engine is fresh with a rebuilt crankshaft, new transmission bearings and seals, new clutch, new Wiseco 64.5 pistons, porting, snowmobile thermostat modification, thin copper head gasket (wish me luck on startup), 1.0 mm squish band, VM30 carburetors, fiberglass reeds, new uni-filter foam pods. Expansion chambers at the moment are stainless steel JL Classics.

The chassis is RZ 350 frame, FZR 600 front end and both wheels and brakes, FZ600 aluminum swingarm, NOS Fox twin clicker shock, new 17T CS sprocket, 45T rear sprocket, and O ring chain.

There will be more video episodes to come on this project. I hope you enjoy them.
