Spondon Yamaha TZ350

£9995

Spondon framed Yamaha TZ350 race bike, the motor has been fully refreshed with new pistons and barrels newly nikasil plated, new water pump internals etc etc.. This is one we restored for ourselves but other racing commitments got in the way!

Following its successful adoption on the works twins, water cooling first appeared on Yamaha’s over-the-counter racers with the introduction of the TZ range in 1973. Apart from the water cooling, which made it more reliable, the engine was little changed from that of the preceding air-cooled TD/TR. The customer TZs changed little until the arrival for 1976 of the TZ250/350C, which was equipped with Yamaha’s mono-shock rear suspension that had been developed in the works moto-crossers. With the new rear suspension came a longer-travel front fork complete with single disc brake, while changes to the TZ250C’s porting and exhaust opened the door to further advances. Yamaha made few changes to the succeeding ‘D’ and ‘E’ models.
