I have watched all of your videos. As the 49 1/2 year owner of the same '75 RD 350 with about 200k miles on the odometer, I salute you for a masterclass on the care and love of the best bikes that Yamaha ever made.
Thanks for doing this beautiful video. In 1973 approx. I bought an RD350 brand new, exactly like yours. It was a thrill to re-experience the first start. I can still feel the click of the ignition switch, see the orange indicators on the dash, smell the exhaust, feel that lurch-forward speed band at about 6,000 rpm. I took it up to 100mph on the Wellington (NZ) motorway - not at all very stable, so I just flicked my eyes to confirm the speed, then backed down. 'Totally loved that bike! =)
Reminds me of those days ... the excitement on the last day of school, the winter vacations and the rush of going back home; apparently uncle got one of those 350's while RX100(s) flooded the Indian bike scene during the early 90's.
This was a great bike & the best part about this bike was its sound . Today we have so many bikes in india but none has the sound like this one i miss this bike
Thank you for this nice video where we can see your respect for this old lady who always remains so beautiful! We have come a long way together... Ah! May I miss these old people full of life and sensations!
I owned the same bike and color in the 70s. It was super super fast. I used to wheel stand it off the lights. Eventually I crashed it. Loved that bike.
Thanks! I made a mistake by starting the bike without connecting the air filter, the bike ran lean. The engine sounded even better after connecting the air filter 😃
Mine was so easy to start I could put it in gear, roll it forward and snatch the clutch, she'd fire straight up even from cold. Wish I still had that bike...
Lovely bike, I’m currently getting an rd125 runnning and after getting new oversized pistons, new rings and gaskets, ring gaps and tolerances checked and perfect.. it’s still only giving my 75psi compression. I’m thinking Reed valves or crank seals, any thoughts? Well done with that bike, enjoying your channel!
My late brother paid $0 for his as a basket case, found disassembled in the basement of an apartment house. He completely serviced it, rebuilt the top end. After hitting 120mph on a local straight-a-way he sold it very quickly! Unlike me, he could disassemble and reassemble in his mind before he picked up a wrench.
Great work man! I've been subscribed to your channel since before you broke 100 subs. Keep up the great work. I too have an RD350. Just sent the crank and cylinders to get repaired. Hopefully, be riding this summer.
Thanks and appreciate your continued support 😃 I also plan to do some rides this summer. Why not upload a video of your RD once you get back the cylinders and crank, will be exciting ☺️
What a beauty... great work.. Im getting my 1975 RD350 running in a couple weeks. Could you tell me if those are the stock handle bars on there ? Cheers from Las Vegas
Wonderful bike। Looking like showroom condition। How can someone start a RD 350 bike after three years of purchase ! Please make more videos and share 👍
I just got 1975 RD 350. How long do you run premix in the bike after 20 years sitting? I got the bike going and a using 60/1 premix and the oil injection system. Have put about 30 miles on it testing the bike. It’s running rough and need to be gone through, but I think it might be running to rich. At what point do you switch to non ethanol fuel only?

I see 2-stroke smoke, I click

My first motorcycle, same color 1972 R350... great memories. .thanks
Jason Wilson. I had the green one, and yeah, great memories
RD 350 was released in 1973. 1972 R- 5 350 had a five speed, drum front brakes and no need valves.
Your rd350 mileage

Whenever i saw RD350 ...the memories of my childhood days flashback .
Once it starts, take it off 'choke' so as you do not foul out the plugs.
Nice restoration. I use to ride this bike in the early 1990's , extremely quick.
Congratulations! Excellent progress.
Nice to hear the purring sound.... Awesome bike it was...massive power👌
great work brother, thats an amazing motorcycle
Beautiful job sir .........this is when bikes were bikes 70s - 80s
That sound brings back memories of bygone era..
i had 1 of these in 1973 same color brand new had many bikes since last 1 being 1200 bandit but most fun i had was my trusted rd 350
Sorry bro, but the 1973 Yamaha RD 350 was red and white.The 1974 RD 350A was purple and the 1975 RD 350B was orange.
What a nostalgic bike yar. Great bike. We love that bike.
Bro you are die heart fan of legendary 350 bike. Look at the work u hv done. 👏
I remember when they came out. Lovely little bikes for sure. Lots of friends had them.
Nothing but love for this particular bike
Timeless beauty
GT-380 Suzuki in the old days, and still love the smell of two-stroke!
No motorcycle can match the sound of RD350 Or the passion it invokes.
Raaj Singh check out the jawa 350 twin
You did a great job sir.Saving RD . . Valveless engines I love those. . .
I had the RD200 in that shape what wonderful bikes they were with that distinctive sound. Great work buddy
Remember my RD 350, spare spark plugs in the jacket, and two spare fuses,
Two years of trouble free riding...
Good job man, wish you luck and good roads
Nice project bro
You deserve more support
Had one when I was 17 in the UK, great times!
I owned the same bike and color in the 70s. It was super super fast. I used to wheel stand it off the lights. Eventually I crashed it. Loved that bike.
Such a lovely bike and I appreciate your passion towards it.
Cheers brother!
Carburettor tuning very perfect brother
Thanks! I made a mistake by starting the bike without connecting the air filter, the bike ran lean. The engine sounded even better after connecting the air filter 😃
That sound ❤️ RD
Mit einer der schönsten Zweitakter Motorräder von Yamaha

Respect to you brother 👏
Great bike

Lovely bike, I can just smell the two stroke.

Excellent work. It's a beautiful bike ❤
What a little beauty!
RD350 नाम ही काफी हॆ

Классный мот.Король классических двухтатников.
Ouch the keys are scratching the paint on the tank. With that little detail out of the way, great video and all the best
Ouch indeed 😃 was clumsy due to the excitement
Yes, bikes don't get a full keychain! I only ever have the key and maybe a little rubber decorative tag so I can feel it in my pocket and not lose it!
Its so daaamn beautifull
one for sale in my town it’s the same color as yours but a 74. runs amazing..might have to snatch it up..
Kithna price
Contact no want to buy and price

You late brother seemed to be a wrench wizard 😃 120 mph, that’s scary.
That was very good please do more
Mantab.....motor idamanku jaman dulu..👍
All of us need this bike; but due to the unavailability and high price,we had to divert our dreams.
Keep making videos. Cheers

Seventies Metal just got it back. I’m thinking about it. Would be nice to document the build on my page.

Beautiful Motorbike

My father rode this beast from 1982-2004
good job, thank you and good luck
Well done. Back in the day with some porting work and expansion Chambers those bikes could embaras much larger bikes.
U need to do vlogging with this bike
Bro you are so lucky to find a motorcycle of this condition
Lucky indeed!
nice selection! both the bike and songs! which song from tequila moonrise?

Make more videos please!
great music
I had 76 and 77 RD400's. I never forget these awesome bikes. Able to humiliate Harley owners with one twist of the throttle.
Wah nice bike I like it
Man I love this bike
Yeh two stroke ka parts kaha milega bhai mere pas bhi ek Rxz tha parts nahi mil raha hai
Nice bike
The legend
Its good idea to bleed the oil pump of air first before first start
You are right ... I was running premix for my first start. I will slowly shift over to the pump and then I will make sure to bleed it first!
Dot dot dot thank you come again
Brother tell me truly spair parts available in Bangalore or out side India if it were
I buy all my spare parts from UK
yambits.co.uk/
Don’t know about India. Ask your local mechanic.
Get a porting map for the western RD's sold in US and Australia etc. An extra 15hp and much worse fuel consumption but lots more fun.
Bro us spec rd how much mileage give?
U look like Angelo Matthews! 😆
Ye bro same
It's 2 stroke i have Honda CD 200 4 stroke
Bro nice video what's the song use in this video name pls
Use ur headset..... It was awsomeeee💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥💥💥💥
The engine is not 100% right now, rebuilding it, will sound even better!
I want this bike
