Yo Yo Yo!

 

Been working on my project for months now as some of you may know. I wanted to start a project thread when enough work had been done. I wanted to have photos of the frame stripped down and powdercoated. I wanted this project to follow some logical order. But it hasn't. Maybe I will rearrange it once i've finished it to make it nice to follow.

 

So here we go. Here is my project. It's inspired from my first bike. Funnily enough it was only AFTER I bought my supermoto wheels that I realised Bradders had pretty much EXACTLY the same idea. So we've been feeding off each other for help and ideas. Cheers mate.

 

Inspiration came from this baby.

So here's my project.

 

 

Got the bike like this.

 

IMAG_0010.jpg

 

 

 

 

The black one...

First things first was that I installed a kickstart to my bike. I also made a tutorial for anyone who would like to do it.

Then I went out and sorted out the numberplate. I may change this still. I've seen some on here done really well. I'm thinking maybe a 7X5 Metal plate. Would look sweet.

 

I Bought a Acerbis tailtidy. I like it. It's sweet!

Gotta keep an eye on that oil level. Especially at night :D

Definitely get yourself some of these.


They are so handy when you're doing a project. Just replacing all the rusted bolts in your bike. Helpful.

I then sorted myself out one of these.

 

DSCF1320.jpg

 

Had a sweet little bracket it made up. Did a sweet job too!

 

Gone to a good home now though. Will have a new bracket made up in the near future.

After this I got serious with the project. I decided to go down the sumo route since all my friends got rid of their bikes and didn't fancy going off roading alone :(

 

 

So £300 later these arrived.

I also decided to go down the usd route

 

If you're interested in how I went about how the conversion please see my thread on it.

DSCF1520Large.jpg

 

 

 

 

DSCF1524Large.jpg

 

 

 

 

Need to get some power out of the engine. I've heard that these cylinders get better power out the engine. So thanks to the main man Bradders £20 for this beauty.

 

 

DSCF1542Large.jpg

 

 

Haven't got it fitted yet. Managed to get a powervalve and end caps for it. At the moment it's just an ornament

 

Decoration_zps650ea270.jpg

 

 

 

 

Managed to get it all together B-E-A-UTIFUL!

 

DT125CloseRight.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

OK so in this photo the bike has had no spacers made up or brake brackets made up. This is in very early stages of the sumo setup. Wierdly enough the front wheel needed no spacers AND the spindle fitter perfectly! Was excellent!

 

 

 

 

The way I saw it was this. If i've got make custom this custom that I might as well go the whole way. Improve the bikes handling all together.

 

Managed to get my hands on these!

DSCF1559Large.jpg

 

 

DSCF1558Large.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

Foolishly I sold my brake Bracket! But thanks to Deeteemx I managed to get a broken one which is spot on! Keep reading to see why!

 

 

DSCF1554Large.jpg

 

 

The Aprilia Wheels use 520 pitch chain and sprockets. So I need to get my hands on the conversion for the DT.


The current Sprocket setup was 16 tooth front and 57 rear!

 

Now the DT out the factory is setup more for bottom end. Where as the aprilia is setup more for top end.

 

SO! I saw a little bit of a problem. The only sprockets I could find was 42 rear! I wasn't going to be able to go anywhere like that.

 

The closest I could find was to get 13 tooth front 520 pitch and 46 rear!

 

 

DSCF1552Large.jpg

 

 

First attempt at the front brake.

 

 

DSC00156_zps836967a0.jpg

 

 

Managaed to get it refined down to this

 

ApriliaBrakesonBike2_zps86f4fc30.jpg

 

 

 

 

Attempt two with lines installed.

 

 

ApriliaBrakesonBike1_zpsa60a7b6e.jpg

 

 

 

DTampRS2_zps8ea43be7.jpg

 

See like a normal RS :D

 

 

Then looked at getting this installed

 

 

IMG_0432_zps18719993.jpg

 

 

For the life of me could not bleed the system. Took me 3 months to pressurise the front brake. Gave up using the RS125 and bought a RSV Mille 1000 Master. Very nice and can take ASV levers with no modification.

 

Paid about £100 for this. Then the ASV levers are another £80 but it will look very nice!


What you reckon

RSVMilleMaster1_zpsb34eb1af.jpg

 

 

 

RSVMilleMaster3_zpsb01564dc.jpg

 

 

 

It's really nice. You can Adjust it on the fly to get it to suit your riding style.

That was maximum Setup

 

Minium setup

RSVMilleMaster5_zps5af58dc0.jpg

 

 Hopefully you can see that it has brought the lever back way to the grips.

 

 We decided that the front was the easiest to do first So we did.

 

We've started cracking on with the rear. Taking time but should look sweet!

 

 

Here's that old broken bracket. We've managed to give it a new purpose.

RearWheelComplete1_zpsc6cf036f.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

RearWheelComplete2_zpsce51567e.jpg

 

 

 

 

In the photo below you'll see I've placed washers behind the sprocket. The reason for this is that although I've lined up the front and back wheel. The wheel is actually wider than the original DT wheel. So this means that the sprockets are not longer inline. If the sprockets are not inline then the chain will be at an angle and will cause accellerated wear...

 

 

RearWheelComplete3_zps49c87442.jpg

 

 

 

 

Hmm too close for comfort!

 

RearWheelComplete4_zpsd50b6243.jpg

RearWheelComplete5_zps2d7cac03.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had these on my old forks. I liked them. decided to get them for the USD's. In my opinion not as nice as the ones you can get for the normal ones. But worth having. Bit of a pain to get on!

IMG_0545_zps95cb6792.jpg

 

 

 

 

IMG_0546_zps78ad0d4e.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

I also invested in a brand spanking new DEP expansion. A beautiful crisp sounding pipe.

 

 

DSCF1578Large_zps84b2dab2.jpg

 

 

 

Also upjetted the carb to 240 main jet and installed carbon fibre reeds.

 

Haven't actually taken the bike for a ride since I don't actually having the wheels sorted out

 

 

Got some nice Bar risers. Will look to get some Fatbars and Unbreakable levers. Then i'll be happy to say the front of the bike is complete!

 

For now...

 

IMG_0577_zps69acd7cd.jpg

 

Bought some Taper Pro Evo Bars. Should get them fitted soon. So the Bar risers have now been installed. Also fitted the vapor stealth to my new yokes.

 

 

This was the existing headlight bracket but it didn't quite fit on the yokes. So have just split it down the middle and spread it open some more. If it starts to fail I can just weld it back up.

 

 

Front3_zps8a637916.jpg

 

 

 

That didn't work above ^^^^ It made the width just not the height

 

Got this made up in nice anodised aluminium.

 

Headlightbracket_zpsd675740f.jpg

 

 

 

 

Some nice stickers to the wheels. Since they're designed by OZ I thought I'd show that off.

That doesn't read up to me?

And look at the deposits on that gasket! That's not suppose to be like that!

On the plus side no signs of detenation on the head. Just dirty. I'll clean it all up and upload pics another day

 

TZR4DLBadBits15_zps17f93000.jpg

 

 

 

I'm not disapointed in the slightest. Just annoyed the ad blatenly lied. When I probably would have still paid asking price because I wanted to have it rebuilt anyway. So I have fired off a quick message.

 

 

And the saga continues.

 

It's starting to look a bit better!

I don't know whether that's clear on the photos but those transef ports on the 3MB are DEFINITELY bigger. HOWEVER the 3MB doesn't look anything special. I.e. nothing that couldn't be done to the 4FU. Remember! the 3MB00P is not the TZR-RR SP barrel. This is just a ported 3MB. So I reckon if you get the 4FU ported you could match this 3MB

 

 

Anyway I'm really basic at this so i'd be interested in seeing what you guys think.

 

 

 

So very small update.

 

Paid and bought for a VHSA Flat slide carburrettor 32mm. It's actually in very good shape for its year. Surface damage to the carb. Internals are semi good. The floats have a bit of corrosion on them. Nothing major. Will get round to replacing that. The slide chamber is good. Few signs of wear but nothing extreme. Definitely useable on the whole!

 

IMG_1478_zpsb5366dc4.jpg

 

Above I didn't clean it.

 

IMG_1482_zps69532ef2.jpg

 

Use some 'Professional Carb Cleaner'.

 

Actually did a nice job at removing grime. Then I found this in the cupboard lmao! I think I need a bigger one but I broke the carb down and cleaned it all up.

 

Looking good now.

 

Also managed to get a 4DL inlet manifold which obviously can take the bigger carb. So pleased about that. Cost about £100 in total for the carb and the inlet and cage. Will strip the cage down and fit carbon reeds into it.

 

 

OMFG! How hard is  that flywheel to remove! Look at the bar extension I needed to turn it!

 

Can someone tell me how that is suppose to go back on....? PLEASE!

 

EngineRebuild17_zps37071ad2.jpg

 

 

 

Ok so haven't been able to do much really. A combination of scared, busy and breaking more than I'm fixing!

 

I'm not worried so much about dissassembling. I'm using a bit of brute force to dismantle it. This is NOT! Something I want to do once I've spent hard hours on it when it comes to reassembling it. So tips and advice much appreciated!.

 

What have I done so far.

 

Well I've got LOTS of parts. Oil seals. Bearings. New con rod. Full gasket set. Lots of loctite. Lots of gasket tite. The engine has had a massive scrub down to remove all the surface oil. But it's absolutely engrained into the metal. Some emery paper and WD40 will sort that out. Got some heat resistant paint on the go for the cases. They were badly scratched and paint flaking. I'm pleased with the results. Fingers crossed it's durable.

 

 

 

EngineRebuild1_zps9f641dd9.jpg

 

Sprayed the generator cover too. No photo but similar job. No runs so i'm pleased.

 

Clutch dissassembled. Note the Minarelli Stamps

EngineRebuild13_zpsc21366c1.jpg

 

That fly wheel was solid to remove! Literally thought I was going to break it!

I get the impression this engine has been dissassembled before. Not many original bolts about. But I don't care what they've done. Full engine rebuild or whatever. They've done a SHOCKING job and I'm going to make sure a proper job is done on this. No time limit so who cares.

 

Sending the crank to Yamaha for a Rebuild with the Wossner con rod. Before you wise allects say it. I'm aware that the £30 one from PMJE would do exactly the same job. I'm aware that i'm paying over the odds for the name. It upsets me to pay so much for something that could be bought for £30. But on the same note this says High Performance on the box!!!! Lol. Sad I know.

 

WossnerConRod2_zps033f57d3.jpg

WossnerConRod1_zps97107167.jpg

 

 

Well it's in pieces. Just need all those bearings ordered. Clean the shell like mad! Spray it. Rebuild it. Expect lots of updates in the next couple of months.

There are a million and one photos of engine rebuilds. But another one can't hurt. Purely for reference for myself and othres that want to rebuild a TZR 4DL motor!

So no more talking, here it is.

So picked it up to today. Extortionate prices from Yamaha it's unreal. A whole £20 to split the crank. File down the connecting rod and then to rebuild it. I mean what a joke!

 

Nah jokes I'm over the moon with the price, especially from a Yamaha dealer where the technician understands that it's a belgarda crank and is measuring tolerances to that specification is just really good.


Any who. More photos of the build.

 

Belgarda Rod (Can't get a hold of those any more :( )

IMG_1796_zpsa0e2f05d.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The technician said that it wouldn't have lasted for very long without a rebuild. It's hard to see from the photos but you can just about to start see scoring along the big end eye where the bearings had begun to spun. So I'm pleased I did do it. Cracking bloke in there loves his two strokes and I get a real satisfaction from talking to another two stroke enthusiast who has a wealth of tuning knowledge.

 

IMG_1793_zps3bb4e856.jpg

 

 

The crankcases just need hardening in the over for 30 mins. Bit scared about putting it to 160 degrees though :/

 

IMG_1782_zps77bffe40.jpg

 

 

 

Okay. It's been a long ass while but finished work for the rest of the year now so have spare time to crack on. I've been worried about this part for a while not....not sure why?

It was surprisingly easy and satisfying. Can't say whether it works or not. It seems to select gears and the crank rotates. So that's some. I genuinely thought it would take longer to do this than it has. Just followed the Haynes manual and working through it slowly and carefully.

Seems legit. I only stopped because I actually have reached the point whereby I'm putting it back together but don't have all the new shiny bits for it yet. So that's new.

Nuff the talk here's some pictures.

 

Gently tapped the rebuilt crank in.

I have been so worried about this part ^^^^^^^^

 

Wondering how I'm every going to put that back together. Well I cable tied the gears together BEFORE I TOOK THEM OUT. Seemed to work a charm. They dropped straight in no problems.

Then the forks... well that was a little tricky to get my head round cause I for got to take photos but Haynes explained it very well. THANK GOD!

Getting these little bastards in took me a while to realise that you need to remove the support first then put it back in once you're happy with it.

Advice on how tight those crankcase bolts should be? My torque wrench doesn't go down that low. So I just did them fairly tight but not too tight? Bit worried about that actually.

 

F2775D9C-7CDF-43D3-995D-AE50DBF87500_zps0y8f2v1t.jpg

 

So here's where I'm at so far.


Want to put carbon reeds in there before I put the inlet back on. So will have to wait. Also want to put a new clutch in there as well. So need to order one of those.

Will try and finish the majority of this off this weekend.

 

Then it'll be the interesting stuff. Need to take the cylinder off my bike. Send it to a tuning specialist. get some sexy work done to it. Back it on this bottom end.

 

Sort the carb out. Got the VHSA 32mm Delorto (4DL Carb).

Sort out my Zeeltronic.

Run it in then Boom. Summer tears!

 

I'm thinking of running it in using the 4DL cdi first. Then switch to the Zeeltronic.

 

Okay, so I'm putting in the TZR this weekend. Nitch gut. Nev the collar that sits between the swingarm. how did you remove it from the engine? the collar is too small and will not take the DTR spindle. Can't progress until that is out. The carb, obviously, isn't going to fit without some form of modification. I need to sort something out. I've got the week off so don't need the bike. Am really tempted to leave it off the road for a few weeks.

 Hand made underslung pipe :D

So received my parcel today. It's okay. I don't know maybe I was expecting more. I know I've seen more. Slightly disappointed. I know what sort of porting can be done. Maybe that's my flaW. But biggest issue here. Has the powervalve been grounded down too much! It's now been exposed which is rather frustrating. 

 

Oh well have a loo. For yourselves...

Because I like wasting money, I bought ANOTHER VHSA carb because it said 'Blue Printed'. I'm not so sure and am tempted to write a letter. it's slightly different but not massively. I'm no expert. So I have two VHSA carbs. I'll just use the best of both and sell the other.

Here on the new VHSA it's had the mouth machined out. There is no longer a lip. And that's where what the eye can see.

Engine looks nice in the frame. Just can't wait to sort it out.

So HELP please lol And also if you want me to get both carbs side by side I can if anyone is interested.

 

 

 

 

 

Got a pre 96 airboot new from Yammy. This will be heated up so it can take the bigger carb :D

I have already got one but it's startin to perish.

 

 

 

 

Was a gorgeous day today so gave her a nice wash and a few sunshine photos.

Yeah I know what you mean. I thought on my old forks they look rude. But they don't look right on usd's IMO. It was a mission getting them on. If I want to take them off I'll probably cut them off. CBA to drop the forks.

Yeah Cheers mate. Would love to get her stripped down and everything powdercoated but it has been off the road for too long now. Just want and need it back on the road so I can go rip roaring on her!

You know how it is...

Plus there are so many four strokes on the road now. I could be ripping up every chavey on the streets!

Would you want to change the colour of the wheels? silver... with black fork guards? :)

Nah. They're a sexy blue. I'll probably buy the dtx plastics.

Change the dt blue. Always wanted another blue dt

looking well smart mate.. iv just bought some rs 5 spoke wheels.. i did buy mito ones but the discs on a mito are on the same side front and back, so id either have to put one wheel on backwards or buy a set of forks with the brake bracket on the right, didnt like either option so to the back of the garage them wheels go haha.. picking up my rs wheels on sunday from sheffield.. if i get stuck at any point with them can i give you a shout bud ?

Hhhmm. Well the discs on my wheels are on the wrong side. I just flipped them over. Have the tyre put on the other side. Not really a problem.

Yeah do mate if you get stuck. I was tempted by the 5 spoke ones but my rs has them so figured not much point. I did want the 3 spoke ones. They're well nice.

Also the disc is in the right side on the aprilia. So either way you are going to have to swap them over.

yeh but both wheels there on the wrong side, so both the wheels are on the wrong way. the mito wheels are angled spokes like the 5 spoke rs. so when the back was on the right way. the front wheel was on backwards, so it just looked odd as fook. i know your rs wheels are newer, is there any diff between the new and older rs wheels?

Not really. Other than design. I expect they were made to the same width as well. Although am I fook taking my rs wheels off to have a look. I can measure my dt wheels and you measure yours and we can see.

Also if its anything like mine you will have to have the wheel machined down a bit. You need to first get the front wheel DEAD straight. Then you need to get the front and rear wheel in line. As much as possible. Then you'll need to figure how much has got to come off the rear wheel in order to get the sprockets in line.

You're also going to need a good ratio sprocket. If you think that the dt is designed for bottom end and the rs for top it's had to get the dt speed again. Since the standard rear sprocket size is 40 on the rs and 57 on the dt.

A bit of a difference!

I've gone for 13 teeth on the front and 46 on the rear. This gives a torque gain of 1%. Basically it'll have the same top end.

Remember it's also a 520 pitch chain! And make sure you check your wheels has got the Cush drive and rubbers. If it doesn't it means its actually an rs50 wheel which is completely the wrong dimension! If its missing you're going to need them and they are not cheap! You'd be looking to spend around £100 for new Cush drive rubbers and sprocket carrier.

lol ahh u see! having a smaller rear wheel is effectivly like having a larger rear sprocket, but its not a massive difference so u dont wanna go too mad with it, plus a 420 sprocket with the same dia as a 520 sprocket will have different amount of teeth, so comparing the standard gearing on a dt to what u might need with the 520 conv will be ****ing hard to work out to get the right diameter sprockets.. u see wat i mean?? so a dt standard is what?? 16 -57? on 420 sprockets if u wanted the same output but running a 520 conv the number of teeth will be different.. less teeth on the 520 setup. wouldnt know wer to start on working that out tbh lol im sh1te at maths lol

 

and what should we make??  lol

Some good advice mate. A knew it was a 520 pitch and the hardest part of that was getn the right combo of sprockets
So that the accel an top end is as near to what iv got it with the dt setup. There defo off a 125 but not sure if hes got cush drive an sprocker carrier yit. Just gonna collect all the parts i need first including usd forks before i crack on properly with fitting. A will appreciate ya input tho bud. Maybe a bit of brain picking from time t time lol

Definitely worth getting a pair that have the cush drive and sprocket carrier attached mate.

Don't seem them come up often on eBay and usually they're ragged!

Those five spoke rims are cheap enough so should be easy to get one with the cush drive and sprocket carrier.

How much you pay for the wheels?

Paid a £100 for thm. Got discs an tyres also a brembo front caliper with master cylinder. Not sure nout spricket etc but just been on the bay and you can get them for round 30 mark. So hopefully will be all good. A think thats a resinable price mesel
