How reliable are these bikes? I'm looking to pick one up from a shop for dirt cheap, but while I hear that the Yamaha RD350 sets the modern standards for reliability, there isn't anything on this one. I don't want one that I have to adjust every few days.
The R5 is the immediate precursor to the RD350, with the main differences being front brake (drum on R5, disc on RD), gears (5 for R5, 6 for RD) and induction (reed valves on R5, piston porting on RD). Otherwise we're talking identical.
