The Worst Carburetor Ever Made? | 1983 Yamaha Vision XZ550
#motorcyclerewind #vintagemotorcycles #xz550rk
In this episode of Motorcycle Rewind, we dig into one of the most dreaded carburetors in vintage motorcycle history — the infamous 1983 Yamaha Vision XZ550RK. If you've ever worked on old motorcycles, you’ve probably heard horror stories about this V-twin’s complicated dual downdraft carb setup. With fuel delivery issues, vacuum lines galore, and a reputation that sends even experienced mechanics running, we ask the big question: Does the Yamaha Vision really have the worst carb ever put on a motorcycle?
We walk through the carburetor removal process, show you how it's built, and start the painful task of cleaning, inspecting, and trying to get it working right again. Will it run? Will we lose our minds? Stick around and find out.
If you're into vintage motorcycle restoration, dealing with carburetor issues, or just love watching someone suffer through a mess of hoses and jets, this one’s for you.
