This site contains a variety of RG500 resources.
•The original purpose was to share tech info; I have archived a TON of email and tech info regarding the RG500, and two strokes in general. It’s organized into categories and posted for download in large, zipped chunks. You’ll have to search it to find what you need, but I bet 90% of your RG questions have an answer in those archives. Download them if you like, put them on CDs or something if you lack disk space. There is about 800MB of total data to download. I will refresh these archives periodically when I have enough new info.
•There are links and info regarding upcoming RG Rendezvous events. Lots of RG owners have had the chance to meet and get to know each other through trackdays or other excuses for outings. Many of these events have been covered in national magazines in the US and Europe! Don’t miss out- how else are you going to see a swarm of RG500s filling the pits at a racetrack?
•There is a link to the RG owners “frappr” map, an online map where you can add a marker to show us where you are!
•Links to the RG500 mailing list; how to plug-in to the RG500 online community.
•FAQ for people considering an RG500.
•In addition to the downloadable resources, there are some pages regarding specific RG stuff that may be of interest. Almost any RG tech you find on this site is also to be found in the RG resource downloads, albeit in less-organized fashion. Chassis tech, engine tech, and dyno charts for a start; you never know what will get added as I go along!
•I added a bit of info about my favorite project bike– my own RG500 – and links to external sites with more info on my TZ-barreled hybrid.
•A list of links to useful RG500, 2-stroke or other technical resources.
•There is too much widely-scattered info for me to move it all locally into this website. So, there will be lots of links to external pages- that’s all there is to it! This site is meant to be a jumping-off point, more or less.
