A local bike dealer here in Portsmouth in the UK caught fire in the late 70's and the staff were running around trying to get all of the bikes out of the showroom. One of the lads started pushing out an RE5 and the shop owner grabbed the bike and shouted "No, no. These can burn. Its the only way we'll ever get any money for the bloody thing!" and wheeled it back in.

Short answer yes…long answer no, it all depends on which 500cc piston engine you’re comparing it to , but generally rotary engines are comparable in power to a larger displacement piston engine, but the way a rotary engine fires means the actual displacement is arguably different than the indicated 500cc , to be fair it’s not fair to compare by displacement alone

Suzuki at the time wouldn't allow disassembly of the engine and had safety wired all bolts ending in a lead safety seal. All engine work had to be done at the factory. We were not allowed to do anything at the dealership. One of my mechanics owned a Re5 and we had to ship it 4 times to suzuki for engine repairs. Amazing engineering for the time.

@@spartanx169x Well, we're talking early to mid 70's, so early days for rotaries. Mazda was about the only other company with any experience with them, so I imagine Suzuki was leery of letting dealership techs work on them. This isn't that unusual: GM had a similar policy regarding LT5 equipped C4 Corvettes, requiring the engines be shipped to Mercury Marine, who helped design and build them. The bigger question is why didn't they partner with Mazda on this thing to help share the load, these engines were maintenance heavy and I imagine this thing burned through apex seals at an insane rate. I assume Mazda wasn't having their dealers ship their rotaries back to Japan when they needed repairing, maybe to specific service centers in the US. Otherwise, getting into rotary powered bikes in the 1970s looks certifiably insane if you wanted to do it all on your own, especially if you're handling repairs centrally. I imagine the theoretical power output of a 500cc rotary dazzled everyone at Suzuki!!!

It was the seventies. Computers weren't really a thing yet - the only way people had to figure out if a technology had what it took to make it in the market was to throw it at the wall and see if it stuck. "Why?" would be answered with "because it might work!" and nobody would see a problem with the reasoning. I figure at SOME point someone must have looked at the overcomplicated mess this project was becoming and realised it'd never actually sell in significant numbers, but by then it must have had too much inertia to stop.

When I heard you'd created a channel I instantly headed over and have been watching ever since. I've had some troubles over the last several years and I have always wanted to get a motorcycle but your content, Shaun's and Wheels Through Time gave that push to go and sit the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training. A legal requirement before you can ride and motorcycle up to a 125cc, you can take various licenses depending on your age that allows you to ride various cc. A license allows a full unrestricted cc.) I took it a few days ago and passed which I'm over the moon about. I'm looking forward to getting my first motorcycle soon and hopefully on a long journey of motorcycle passion. With the knowledge that you lot have provided me I hope I can provide the best care that any motorcycle deserves. I hugely appreciate you and Dan and I look forward to upcoming content. Hope life is treating you well and all the best, cheers.

Nice detailed video Craig!

It almost looks like they used 1/2 of a Mazda RX-2 carb on those, since the RX-2 had a 4 bbl. from the factory. I'm thinking you probably have a stuck thermostat rather than coolant getting into the rotor housing, or it would probably be throwing a bunch of white smoke.

OMG! It's crazy you.are working on this . I just saw a guy selling one of those speedo covers!.Brand new old stock in the box. I might be able to track that piece down if you need it? It was at a swap meet but I know a guy that might know the guy?😂

In case anyone has or is wondering why metal has fins that are spaced apart: instead of a solid piece of metal - cutting fins into metal and spaced appropriately, it increases the surface area for air or water to cool it down.

I really enjoyed this episode, I think Max might be my new favourite person on KZfaq, you definitely need more episodes guest starring Max in the future 👌🏽

I never knew motorcycles came like this. Remember as a teen having a Rx7 car that had a rotary ..loved that car

Man, that carburetor by its own looks like a nightmare just to fix and/or tune.

I was around and into bikes when this came out. As I recall, it was around 1973. One of the problems I remember was the force to the drive change was so great they often snapped.

Smart to do the premix in the gas. That’s an old school rotary trick. I mean it makes sense to me since they are designed to burn a small amount of oil.
