The '''Yamaha RZ350''' | The '''[[Yamaha]] RZ350''' was a twin, two-stroke Road [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Yamaha]] from 1984 to 1985. | ||
==Overview== | |||
'''Yamaha RZ350''' , LC/YPVS in the UK, is a [[motorcycle]] powered by a twin cylinder [[Two-stroke|two-stroke engine]], [[reed valve]]d 347 [[cubic centimeter]] engine. The bore and stroke are 64x54 mm. It produces 30.4 ft·lbf of torque at 7500 rpm. It came out as the RD350L/C in non-U.S. markets in the 1981 model year. The L/C model did not contain the "powervalve" exhaust port device available on the U.S. model RZ350's of 1984 and 1985. It was the evolution of [[Yamaha]]'s popular and well known [[Yamaha RD350|RD350]]. Production was carried on into the 1990s and a variant of the engine is still produced and used in Yamaha's YFZ350 Banshee ATV. | '''Yamaha RZ350''' , LC/YPVS in the UK, is a [[motorcycle]] powered by a twin cylinder [[Two-stroke|two-stroke engine]], [[reed valve]]d 347 [[cubic centimeter]] engine.

==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] twin, two-stroke. A 64.0mm [[bore]] x 54.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 347.0 cubic centimeters. | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet, multiple-disc. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 90/90-18 51h front [[tire]] and a 110/80-18 58h rear tire. Stopping was achieved via double disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a swingarm. The RZ350 was fitted with a 5.28 Gallon (20.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 54.53 inches (1385 mm) long. | |||
