Yamaha RD 400 - Daytona Special

Fully built to stage 2 spec, port matched cases, vintage performance race heads, YZ 85 V-Force reeds, Technology Elevated SC-2 Smart carbs, 6” Uni foam filters, 1a1. Crank with upgraded bearings, oil journals opened up for better lubrication, cast pistons and everything balanced.Vape electronic ignition with high output coils and the battery delete when it goes on the track. I’m running stainless JL’s, their performance pipes. I think that’s it for the motor. I downsized the chain and went from the stock 530 to the RZ 520 with custom made rear sprocket. Nitrogen reservoir shocks in the rear and a RZ 350 dual disc frontend and an eBay steering stabilizer with lighter RZ mags. Although I have not worked out the rear mag yet. Renthal red anodized bars with RZ mastercylinder and custom made stainless brake lines. Wave rotors round out the front giving it plenty of stopping power. It’s not a good idea to make it as quick as I have and leave the stock brakes. That is a sure fire way to end up pasted against something and in my old age I try to miss stuff like that as much as possible. The bike is so much more than stock I had to change the gearing from a 15/37 to a 17/37 because if you rolled just a little to much gas taking off it was trying to go over backwards on me. Once I put the 17/37 it calmed it way down and I’m no longer tacking at 6,000rpm’s at 65mph. At 6k now I’m doing 80 plus mph. To round off the mods I’m running motopro red anodized MX pegs
