Oakys Garage: 1982 Yamaha XZ550RJ Vision Valve adjustment, etc. 

I actually own this exact bike now. Picked it up just below 34k.Runs good, stator just went on it. Replacing soon

Hi Oaky, I recall that we sold this bike out of Baer's Cycles as a low miles used bike. Louie's wife came in and made the deal, and we managed to keep it a secret from Louie until his birthday or Christmas, I forget, but anyway it was a surprise to him when he got it. At least that's how I remember it happening. Glad it's up and running! Mike

nice job and thanks for the helpful video. just picked up an 82 vision, with 10,000 miles on it. not running but close. I'll be on the lookout for stator issues, etc...

You had a job....I have a passion...that's the truth...love you forever, Mike, but's that reality

They went like a bat out of hell

Good job, You have photo with shim tool mounting?

Might need a stator

I’ve been looking for a solution to handle the idling issues. Never thought of the valves & what size shins did you use? Thank you for putting out. Any recent updates on the fork bearings?

I have an 82 XZ550RJ. I need 4th over piston ring set.

And where did you get the fork brace?

You worked at Baer's?

Well, I used to go there every day and they used to give me paychecks....I don't know if playing with motorcycles all day qualifies as work though....

Not what I expected, from the title.

Hangover? LOL

never shows it running, guess he never did fix it..lol

I think its the same bike lol

halt die Cam ruhig... ich muß gleich kotzen
