Had an Rd400 when I was 18. All speed pipes fitted with a great note. A flying machine and handled a dream. Wish I had never sold her.

Looks great, runs sweet, rides nice on the smooth tarmac, nice build & colours too, the only thing missing is the 2 analogue clocks in the view & the wonderfull scent of 2 stroke castrol r bean oil scenting the roads for 20 minutes... My mates knew if id been in town as they could smell the castrol r lingering on the main street... Happy dayz..

Had 2 red ones, j reg and a L , and the J reg one was tuned with a bit of porting and polishing exhaust port opened up, the case's were matched to the barrel and all polished, it was bored out to the maximum, ( probably closer to 130cc than 100cc ) the carb was a 32mm and jetted fairly well, if not a bit rich😶🌫️ and from a RD 125 I used the micron exhaust ( had to cut it up and re weld it as well as a rew repairs) forks and bar's, front and back wheel, the front light and that little bit fairing and screen, and that belly pan , added a tooth to the front sprocket and tried a 36,37,38 teeth sprockets on the back and it was better with the 38 tooth 97mph at 10k RPM in any weather and 102mph with a tail wind and slight down hill, the 36 tooth could get 102mph on a straight road with a slight tail wind and 105mph down the hill, I only done it a few times! I put 8,000 miles on that engine, hard miles most of the time 😂 And it was just so reliable 🫢🤷♂️💪 That was 23 years ago now and having a bit more age & experience, I wish I had it now, it was cheap to run , roughly 60 miles to the gallon and nearly 200 ish miles to the tank , and castrol 2 stroke was £3-4 a liter The good old day's 😊

Beautiful ride and sound ! All my friends had the RD250 ,s back in the 70,s ! Never saw the 400 ! Lovely machine ! Definately bogging the carb in the lower revs, jetting maybe a little high !

@@davidbrayshaw3529 I think your mate probably upgraded and modified especially if he was racing, the brakes were definitely not a strong point! The 350LC which followed the RD400 did of course have a twin disc setup so Yamaha obviously knew something had to be done 👍
