I blew the engine up on one of my 2T's, the RD 350 LC, I only had one more after that, a T500, which I didn't blow up as I only had it a short time but I would have caused damage if I had kept it any longer. I need bikes with very robust engines and can only be trusted with 4T's these days. Also Trig only rebuilds 4T engines, so I will have to stick to them 😊😊😊

Nos OEM or pattern? Shiny could still be abrasive especially if its a pattern part.... a polish may help. If its oem then i would be surprised if it was faulty... but something is wearing the points away... worth trying a gentle rub with some fine metal polish. Im assuming you have tried decent quality points, not cheap Chinese..?
Hi masonmart, my twin bro has a mint X7 which he rides regularly, also an RGV250... i have an RD250F and an NSR250...there are lots of 2T guys round the yorks area, we have a great classic scene. Interesting you say the market is almost nonexistent for 4T’s....but prices are sky high from what I see..... yes the 2t’s are popular and there are plenty of specialists supplying parts.Oh julie....the sound is surely one of the biggest draws to 2t ownership....they sound amazing and the power delivery is so exciting even though the small 2ts are low powered compared to modern stuff, they deliver fun in bucketloads.... I love the sound of my sohc but the sound of a yamaha RD twin on the pipe is enough to make my hair stand on end (if i had any) 😄. Come to Squires cafe next summer and I’ll let you borrow one...Meanwhile have a listen to this guy 😄https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cHRs3JXirC0
