Yamaha RD400 test run

[cashman156]

What a great bike! I lusted after one of these for ages when I was a teen, was that a steering damper I saw in the shadow lol!

Fucking hell mate, that had me grinning from ear to ear. That is a lethal fucker. I love the wheelies, especially in third gear.

[CRDT]

I'd really like to own on of these.

What type of exhaust are you running. I have not heard this sound out of a two stroke. I have DG Expansion Chambers and aluminum rat-tails silencers on my 77 RD400

@MrSkorpio66

It has Bassani pipes. The microphone is getting interference from the spark plugs so it really sounds about the same as what DG pipes sound like.

come on you pussy, give it, don't be scared

[Creamo555]

ahhh, nice, that brings back some crazy old memories of my teen days, they were great little things for the wheelies!

I used to be able to wheelie one of them right through from first to fifth, mmm, I had microns on mine and it sounded sweeeeet. :)

What mods have you done?

[862057]

@goldenstone74 Professionally done porting, piston and head mods, bigger carbs and reeds, expansion chambers,electronic ignition.

[axyww]

@862057 Who did the mods? Thanks

[goldenstone74]

I just bought one. What mods can I do to make it rip like this?

[goldenstone74]

Is this a stock bike?

[862057]

@goldenstone74 It's very modified, the throttle is being opened about 1/2 way

[jonashartley]

dang! i was happy with 2nd gear wheelies on my '77...i've got some tuning to do.

[detonator398]

Have you considered a bigger pilot jet?

J/K. jealous. enjoy the ride. I was able to get 2nd gear rollons, but my 1/8th throttle cruising sucked (then i found i had blown the motor and was trying to tune a blown motor). back to square one and annoying the rest of the forum.
