Hey woody, thats photo is awesome mate thanks very much for putting that up! love the datto!
I have seen the frame strengthening kits, and i am going make my own gussets to go on. Or maybe i'll get lazy and buy one from fleabay.

thanks shelpi. and foxy get some pics of the 80's up!

The other fork leg is going to come out of the acid when i finish posting this. They are pretty bad so i may need to swap em for some others or last out and re chrome them.

Next will be to get the front wheel pulled down, paint the hubs and get em re laced with my NOS spokes. still pretty stoked that i got some NOS genuine spokes cheaper than those chinese/thai spokes!

Hopefully some pics on sunday!

they look great foxy!
the one on the left looks mint.

my YZ 80E build might have just been placed down the list. I have aquired a new bike that i want to rebuild, as it will be my 'modern' rider.

going out with my mates on their late model 4 strokes is fun, but the suspension and brakes on my YZ250K slows me down. So if i rebuild this 1992 YZ250D1 i will have better suspension, disc brakes and it will still be retro cool  8)

So i might get the yz80e to rolling stage, while i fix the 250. Still undecided.
Best bit is the 1992 YZ250 only cost me an hours labour  ;D

smed, its takes rust off chrome! doesnt affect stickers leaves them on. Best stuff.

I buy it in this form from bunnings / mitre 10.
http://www.recochem.com.au/index.php/products/consumer_products/timber_care/item/diggers_oxalic_acid

give it a soak for 24 hours and watch the rust disapeer! Its used for cleaning timber.hts only good on chrome tho, too harsh on other stuff.
Do a google search for more info!

Did a great job on the forks too, a pity it leaves the pitting but at least it wont get any worse now.


I got the other wheel done a mate is going to true them up for me now.



Also started getting one fork leg cleaned up.

Does anyone know of a good flywheel puller that will suit the yz80?

I have a universal one that doesnt quite sit right, 2 of the 3 legs sit good but one is on the thin steel part and this flywheel is on tight! I dont wanna break it.

actually maybe if i dont get a reply i might start a new thread asking what tools people would reccomend for building the engine yourself.

Can you post up a picture of the flywheel ?  there should be provision on the flywheel to attach a puller, sometimes there will be an internal thread around the centre or several holes to screw into.

I wouldn`t use a puller on the outside of the flywheel you may distort it beyond repair. Peter.

Good job Stevo,i finally bit the bullet and sent my YZ80H forks off to Rad Had Chroming to be done,it will be the most expensive part of the rebuild but i wanted to get the bike to the roller stage and that was holding me up.

cheers Dale.
