Harry · Guru

Nah they wouldn't no sidelight and no high beam, just swapped it after

Plate is also illegal, was getting a smaller one but not as small as this one

I keep the normal one in my bag just in case

NORFE · DTR Trusted Engine Builder

i got the bloke at the shop to bore it me on the tight side of clearance, so with a nice gentle warm up on a ride will be sound and back to full power

smile

Harry · Guru

Cheers yeah it definitely does - hardly ridden it so looking forward to having some fun I swear I always have things like this spending more time in pieces than on the road.

Sweet will have to let you have a play with mine when it blows up I really am not confident re building it haha

NORFE · DTR Trusted Engine Builder

there really aint much to them pal, aslong as u dont loose nowt when ur stripping it, and if u need to take loads of pictures wi camera, if im doing a new thing i oftern take pics then look fru em if need be on the rebuild

Harry · Guru

That's the part I hate so many small parts lol, I don't really know what to look at as well, or anything to compare it to to see if it's damaged

Will give it a go either way, only learn from trying

NORFE · DTR Trusted Engine Builder

only things that wear is the surfaces that run along each other and bearings, just look for blueing of the material where things have got hot rubbing, wear marks,when u have the cases apart you may aswell do the gearbox bearings aswell for the price it costs only cheap ull have a new condition engine

conrod kit £45

mains £40

small end, piston kit & re- bore £65

gaskest & seals £30

g/box bearings £20

oil £5

good as new

failing that ill do the ful rebuild for £50 just supply the engine and the parts

crank rebuilds are £25 at my local place

biggrin

Harry · Guru

I may take you up on that mate, or if you could show me and I will sort you the cash out I want to learn but worst thing I can imagine is putting it back together and then it getting destroyed because I have done something wrong, been there with other stuff...

May be a while yet hopefully won't go for a long time :)

this is close to how i want mine ending up few differences although i dont think im too far behind :P

Harry · Guru

Cheers mate, some rim tape on yours and it would look nearly identical :)

baught the bike with the wr wheels already on but the lad never got a front caliper do i need a wr one or is there others that i can slap on to save waiting ages for a cheap wr one to come up?

Harry · Guru

The caliper and disc need to match the forks if you don't want to start mocking up brackets

What forks you got?

DTrick125sm · DTR Respected Member

theyr wr forks, they havent got the little mudguard thing there though, shame really would of liked it on and the disc will be a wr one hopefully do the wheels normallly come with the discs when sold online?

respect for that one mate had a scan on ebay the other day and there was only one on there for like 60 notes, hope i can come up with the funds before someone snaps this up!

Harry · Guru

That's a right bargain, if you have the wr forks it will be a straight fit (or dtx)

DTrick125sm · DTR Respected Member

yeah hopefully when i show my dad hel get me it, found one of those small mudguards aswell so will get that too, bet my dad has read this full convo by the time i see him next though haha caught him on my thread from his the other day :P hes thinking of getting a bike too and loves dtrs so u never know he might end up on here haha :P

Harry · Guru

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

haha good stuff is it :P

Harry · Guru

Stay off the crack mate biggrin

DTrick125sm · DTR Respected Member

hahaha have a crack pipe and freak out in the forums :P

Harry · Guru

Looked back and it is a bit pecky!

Harry · Guru

Well I thought it was nearly complete..

Ended up falling off, minimal damage but needed new fender and grips..

Got a new headlight, fully legal and lights up the road unlike the last one

Then decided to loose the hand grips. might get some at a later date but would definitely be solid blue.

Went to bassets pole with Nath, well we tried except I wired the headlight wrong so had no front light as it drained the battery - we completely missed the meet (25 miles north when setting off 20 miles from the west ftw) and then the engine decided to die...

Roadside pictures!

Puncture much?

So seeing as the engine needs re building took the opportunity to do full re build (again) this time getting a nice powder coated frame - not one that's got patches of hammerite everywhere

Got home from work today and started this at 5, finished by 8 was pretty pleased with the time it took to be honest, will let the pictures do the talking

Aftermath...

So now it's all shoved inside, I have some more goodies to put on and more to come. Will update shortly :)

zooankski · DTR Senior Member

where did you get the hand guards mate?

NEV · Guru

Aye and do those plastic mesh inserts come out for spraying? or moulded in all in one?

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

hope you got that chain sorted for that extra 5bhp
