1994 Yamaha RD 350 review from United Kingdom
"Classic 1980 pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Exhaust gaskets blown; a common fault with this model.
Also the fuel tank leaks; another problem with this model.
General comments?
A very swift lightweight bike, but a bit thirsty on fuel and oil. Last of the ypvs models that was made in Brazil, so had a few manufacturing problems, but mine seems to be OK now I have ironed out the faults.
