Re: Yamaha rd350 road racer
The plan is for a street toy bike. I'm not a skilled enough rider for track days or racing. The goal is for the longest trip to probably be the pass from where I stay at barber to the show itself. I'm guessing a 15 mile stretch at best.
Something to zip around here and put away wet, or make the whooping 4.5 mile ride into work now and again, but as I said, a street toy, not a daily rider
Also, as my fuel ignorance will show, what's c12. Thinking through it again, I'd probably be best off to seal the tank and be able to run on 5% ethanol 93 octane pump gas
I'll look into that other book as well!teazer said:Great book. That man was ahead of his time in many ways. Of course, things have moved on since then and there is more knoweldge in teh pool to dip your toe.
A.G. Bell is a good read - probably easier to read.
Q: do you plan to race it, do track daze or just ride it hard and put it away wet? If it's for teh race track, race gas is a good solution but you don't need super high octane levels. C12 is fine for most things. My race GT750 will run happily on 93 octane street gas but I have run it on U4.4 (wow) and set a new personal best with a drum of old C11 pre-mix.
For a high comp race type motor C12 is fine.
