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.

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?

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.

Remove and clean the carbs with carb cleaner. This involves squirting carb cleaner down all the internal tunnelling in the carb body as they clog up with the remnants of the additives that is in petrol. Before the mid 1980's there was no low ash 2 stroke so owners had to periodically decoke the exhaust system and cylinder block as both would clog up with solid carbon deposits causing the bike to "bog down" when running. The regime of hastle that 2 stroke owners had to endure, if they wanted optimal performance back then, was: (1) Decoke the baffle(s) every 6 to 8 weeks. (Exhaust gas flow diminished as baffle(s) clog with carbon). (2) Decoke the exhaust system every 3 to 4 months. (Volumetric efficiency and flow nerfed by sludge and carbon). (3) Decoke the cylinder block exhaust ports every 6 months (Carbon deposits slowly lowered the exhaust port size). Decoking the cylinder block exhaust ports involved popping the cylinder heads(s) and exhaust header pipes, then scraping the carbon build up closing up the exhaust port(s) with a metal bladed tool such as a flat blade screw driver. This was performed usually once or twice a year dependant on the bike's mileage after the previous decoke. Decoking the exhaust system involved removal and cleaning away from the bike. Two methods of decoking 2 stroke pipes, the bad inefficient way of using caustic soda (It usually moves the deposits to one end of the pipe and still leaves it clogged!!) and burning the pipes and baffle out (The best way!!). The method I used, back in those days, was to mix up a concoction of 80% engine oil to 20% petrol, take the silencer pipes to a safe area away from anything, lay the pipes on the ground and pour the concoction in before lighting it with a rag on the end of a stick whilst standing to one side of the pipes (the act like a pulse jet starting and jet a flame out of the ends at ignition). The fire would consume all the sludge and carbon deposits during the course of the next half hour and, when the pipe had extinguished itself, holding it up whilst tapping it with a stick would shake all the crap out of the silencer pipe onto the ground. Baffles can be blowtorched or burnt in a fire to clean as stated in workshop and owners manuals. All this hassle disappeared in the mid 1980's when low ash 2 stroke oil appeared on the market which removed the need to decoke the exhaust system and the need to clean the cylinder block exhaust ports was reduced from every 3 to 4 months to every 2 to 3 years with everyday use.
