24
This is what we enthusiasts were waiting for – Real power with precise looks. That’s what mechanic has done with 2 of spare RD 350 engines. He had 2 Yamaha Rajdoot RD350 engines at his disposal, he rebuilt one of them with brand new sleeves from Bangalore and standard ART pistons, modified the Chasis of the Yamaha FZ16 to fit RD’s engine into it, modified the CDI unit, removed the Cathaletic Converter out of the exhaust and increased the volume of exhaust pipes and added a manifold that connects both exhaust pipes (underneath) into one. He also decreased the no of teeth on the rear sprocket and many other smaller mods.

I observed a unique trend among the owners that was very innovative that almost 90% of the people having a motorcycle installed a special leather bag over their fuel tank for practical purpose like carrying small things/gadgets.
