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.
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.
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!
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 😃
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 👍
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
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?
RDs were first released in Europe in 1973, 10 years before being released in India. Lot of RD clubs are present in Europe. Good luck finding one in Punjab!
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 ☺️

Whenever i saw RD350 ...the memories of my childhood days flashback .
Nice restoration. I use to ride this bike in the early 1990's , extremely quick.
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.
I remember when they came out. Lovely little bikes for sure. Lots of friends had them.
Nice to hear the purring sound.... Awesome bike it was...massive power👌
Beautiful job sir .........this is when bikes were bikes 70s - 80s

No motorcycle can match the sound of RD350 Or the passion it invokes.

Such a lovely bike and I appreciate your passion towards it.
Cheers brother!
Lovely bike, I can just smell the two stroke.
I have a dt3 250 myself.
This is just wonderful ! From Trinidad, West Indies.

You late brother seemed to be a wrench wizard 😃 120 mph, that’s scary.
Mantab.....motor idamanku jaman dulu..👍
Its so daaamn beautifull
Excellent work. It's a beautiful bike ❤
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...
Good job man, wish you luck and good roads
Very good upload, bike sounds lovely, thanks.
That thing is in amazing condition
You deserve more support
Keep making videos. Cheers
Beautiful Motorbike
Nice project bro
That was very good please do more
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!
Well done. Back in the day with some porting work and expansion Chambers those bikes could embaras much larger bikes.
Beautiful ride....
All of us need this bike; but due to the unavailability and high price,we had to divert our dreams.

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 😃
