Back in the late seventies my RD350 would stay out front of the 900 kaw till about 60 then get smoked .......the good ole days
Still miss my 310R cross county 4 wheeler , light and decent torque |
I loved racing 2 strokes.... /my favorite chunk of wood has a plaque on it that says "1st place Baja 1000" lol

Threads like these prove that we're all here because we're not "all there".
So many great memories inspired by the names mentioned here. I used to build hand coned two stroke exhausts for everything from MX, ATV, shifter carts, sleds, even the hotsaw chainsaws. Six years through high school and into college with many late nights on the dyno and field testing products. Of course, all the money earned was spent on racing MX in order to feed an adrenaline addiction. Seems like Rossini racing used to sponsor Ty Wallace in the late 80's, fierce competitor. I'll run race gas and Castor oil in my two stroke RC boat just to get a fix for my two stroke addiction....... |

It had port work, stroker kit and I think larger bores, I can’t remember I’d have to go to the rz350 forum and read what I did lol. They are fun old bikes but the 4 strokes are stronger on the top end. Newer 4 strokes are stronger everywhere. The rz’s were pretty strong up til like 80mph. Accelerating hard thru the gears they sound so sweet. Everybody looks to see what that is coming up the road! Check out this guys video. https://youtu.be/z5h2fOr6mto
Theres a guy over in Cullman who has an rz500, they are super exotic 80’s 2 stroke race bikes. Really cool. |
A good friend back in the day had a single 500cc Bultaco ?.....maybe a 450...anyway that thing would cut a rut you could lay cable in.....lol Monsta

I know what you mean Keith about being scared of the power. 😬 good times. You guys ever mess around with old 2 stroke street bikes. I had this a few years ago. 84 rz350, had the banshee motor with electric power valves. It was a lot of fun too.
Attachment 574007 Here is an old but good post Seaford. KDXRIDER.NET ? View topic - Jetting Guide I agree with above about air leakage/pressure testing to ensure there are no leaks since it was just apart. I check all of mine when I have the carbs off, it is simple and crucial on a 2stroke |
