Flitwick 2 stroke celebration day - onboard the Suzuki RG500

[@mellowr1]

Jesus Rich you ain't shy of using the bike are you‼😯IT'LL need a top end build soon❗🤣 Fair play. Lovely collection of strokers at Flitwicks👍😎

Hey Mick, Yes, so many great bikes, and for me so nice to see some other RGs. It was also fantastic to chat and share experiences with Tim on his stage 3 tuned RG500. Very, very tidy. It was a long way but the bike dealt with it brilliantly. That said, I've done my oil change and I am suspicious that I didn't get 700ml back out of it. Admittedly, I had a spill so difficult to say how much was in there but I'll have to keep my eye on that. If it is using oil, it'll be crank splitting and crank seals but let's see in the next 1000 miles ... 👍😀

[@RG500_detectorist]

Had to ring my insurance and up the mileage, as doing way over the limit I put on at the start. Good news, going from 1500 miles max to 3000 only cost £20!

Brilliant stuff ☘️😁 from northern Ireland,, thanks for bringing us with you ☘️☘️ really enjoyed it,, I'm a Suzuki man,gs1000 at 18 GSXR 1000 k6 at 57 ,, lottery win gets me an RG 500 ,, sounds awesome 👍

[@RG500_detectorist]

Thanks again Cecil. Went on some awesome 2 stroke days this year. Can't wait to get back out there next Spring. Hopefully get on a track and see what she can really do. RGs are actually a bargain at the moment. Probably as no one has cash floating around. I saw one a few weeks back down from £21k to £14k !!! They'll be back up soon enough. All the best Richard 👍

I miss the sound of 2 stroke power bands howling down our streets!

[@RG500_detectorist]

Rare, unless you live in my street!! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the memories. Rich

[@carlpritchard5760]

thanks for sharing mate, your bike sounds awesome now I'm all exited :-) can't wait to finish mine....

[@RG500_detectorist]

Hey Carl, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the RG's singing. Once you get it up into 10,000 + it's scarily exciting, rapid and off the scale of fun... ENJOY!!

[@fastasfox]

Great bike.....Great event......Great footage....bloody marvellous sound. Thanks for uploading.

[@RG500_detectorist]

So pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. New clutch just about to go in, so nearly ready for another epic year. This one will be even better ❤️

[@RG500_detectorist]

Thank you to @Flitwick motorcylces (flitwickmotorcycles.co.uk/) for putting on a fantastic event. Loved it!

Wow

[@RG500_detectorist]

Yep, some amazing machines, especially in Sammy's - over 500 bikes! @@GrrMeister

[@MrGamman3yt]

Oh my, great ride. Reminds me of my old one. But mine didn't run well. Power wheelies are fun, traffic sucks.

[@RG500_detectorist]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the trip with me. This one has always been pretty good. Was a pig last year to get running correctly. Mark Dent helped me. Now it's pretty good. Yes, London traffic is certainly getting worse. All the 20 mph speed limits!! Ridiculous

[@henrik-josefsson]

What have you changed on your bike? Have you perhaps changed the fuel tap? I think your RG isn't getting enough fuel?!

[@RG500_detectorist]

Thanks for your comments. Maybe? It does have a brand new fuel tap. What makes you think not enough fuel? Low down?

[@henrik-josefsson]

@@RG500_detectorist you know, I own an RG 500, but I'm a mechanic and I worked on a Yamaha RD 500 on which the carburettor always overflowed and I had other fuel taps installed. The result was that the moto stalled during the test ride. After I waited a minute, the machine immediately started again and drove normally. But after a few minutes it went off again. I later removed the new fuel taps and the problem was solved. Why? Quite simply, the diameter of the new fuel taps was too small, so not enough fuel could flow in while driving and the engine stopped. The problem was the diameter. The engine didn't get enough fuel while driving.

[@henrik-josefsson]

you know, it's a two-stroke engine and it needs a lot of gasoline. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@RG500_detectorist]

@henrik-josefsson I got the taps from Lance Gamma so they should be OK but I have suffered this top end starvation, so I'll keep my eye on it. Its a good observation 👌 thank you 😊

[@RG500_detectorist]

@@henrik-josefsson my next upgrade might be bigger carbs 🤔 👍

[@giovannigarbelotto3323]

Good memories,past 5000 revs, very very quick,smoot,and obviously shame the breks ,I know I ad a good one,why I sold it?////

[@RG500_detectorist]

Yes, amazing engine but I've added new Maxton suspension and Brembo brakes, so all good. ❤️ Never sell. Had mine 32 years ❤️ 😍

[@sellier-bellot22]

Sitting position is a bit tight for longer journeys !!! Track bike normally or winding roads too !!🥸

[@RG500_detectorist]

Yes agree, but we'll worth it ❤

[@woooster17]

Rich my friend, you are not helping me.. I am now trawling the internet for a nice 250 2T!! 😂🤙🏽

[@RG500_detectorist]

Go big time .... RG500. There are a few good priced ones at the moment. Buyer's market. Great time to buy.

[@RG500_detectorist]

Wanted to send you a picture of a brilliant kr1s. Friend is selling one ... but 6.5k

[@woooster17]

@@RG500_detectorist Sounds good but my issue is space right now… I need to sell a bike (probably the Fireblade) to make room.. or build a bigger garage 🤔😄

[@RG500_detectorist]

@@woooster17 I think they'll all still be there waiting for you in March 👍
