eBay Finds / Re: Husqvarna WR430 Auto 88

« on: April 29, 2020, 06:35:17 pm »

Interesting read. I have picked up an 88wr430 that had one of those container engines fitted into back in the day. Guy pulled his manual430 motor out and slotted a brand new auto in it, Explains why a few things don't fit as it really should, Water pipes and chamber must be different. Trying to work out the starting system on it atm but seems weird!! Might need to be in oil to work properly

Suzuki / 83 RM125 Rear shock help

Anybody got a lead on an 83 RM125 shock? Rebuilder ok. Not even sure on the length needed or what will fit as nothing on the bike. Found an 81 one, but not sure if is the same? Guessing there were updates between them but looking on the parts Fisch, the bottom mount is different

Kawasaki / KDX 240

« on: November 19, 2018, 06:54:01 pm »

Just picked up an 86 KDX200 (USA model, No compliance plate) that I have discovered has a 240 kit in it!! 72mm bore. Took it for a ride yesterday but the jetting seems way off. Also has a Mikuni carb which I think is a 38mm but oval bore in the middle. 25 pilot and a 370 main. Anybody got a good starting point for jetting this thing? Pulls really hard of the bottom but signs of real early. Big bore type power. I have pull the power valves out to clean so think that will help. Has anybody got a manual? need to make sure I have timed the power valve properly as there is nothing to line the dots up with. Any other tips/ mods for this model Cheers

Honda / WMW CR250 Info please

Looking at a bike tomorrow and it looks to be a WMW CR250. Did they make them in 91? or what years were they converted. Also, what should be on the compliance plate? XR250? Just trying to work out what to look for.

Anybody got a PPG paint code for the late 80's Lime Green?? Looking to paint my 90 model KDX frame but need a code. Pwder Coaters could not do, so will 2 pack it!! Probably better anyhow. Do not need it exact color, but close would be nice!! Have to get the local spray painter to mix as no auto stores near me. Thanks
