Hello from a new member ... RG, RZ/RD
Greetings all,
I am a new member to this forum. I came across it while looking for restoration tips especially Suzuki. That's why I'm here.
I have 2 1986 RG 500 Gamma's. One is a runner and the other is a basket-case.
The same for 2 Yamaha 1985 RZ/RD 500's.
You may have guessed correctly if you thought I was from Canada.
Ultimately I'd love to have 1 beautifully restored example of each.
I am here for your knowledge and if I can share any of what little I have along the way I would be elated.
I love this hobby, I just need to learn so much more about it.
Nice to meet you fellow enthusiasts.
Jason

Re: Hello from a new member ... RG, RZ/RD
Welcome, I just searched your bike and like what I see. Definitely post pictures soon--it's great to see "before" and "after" transformations.
Enjoy your way around the GDC and always wear your gear including in here.

Re: Hello from a new member ... RG, RZ/RD

Re: Hello from a new member ... RG, RZ/RD
Wow! How things change/improve on design. Compare the changes between 1986 and 2000.

Re: Hello from a new member ... RG, RZ/RD
Yeah, that's it! I was looking at the choke switch as well as the other switches.
Comparing that year vs my 2000. I wish my riding would have started back when I graduated HS.
