Who's fixing what ???.

Well i just come in from the shed and i'm rooted . I pulled the CR80 engine down ,The big end is siezed , so i need to rebuild the crank and main bearings and reseal and that will do it . And i'm putting a YZ80S together . I just pulled the engine down and i have never seen a more forked one .The big end has about 12mm slop in it ,the needle out of the carb is bent and has been living in the reed cage .It would have been interesting to see this running but with all the YZ80 crap i've got i'm building up one good bike so that will be good . I've decided that i'm gonna update the YZ400E to 1981 suspension ,43mm front end and a New rear shock as i dont think a 465 will make me any faster .

But it's fun isn't it? Nothing like a good garage session. I've just pulled the engine out of the TM125, gotta get the cylinder rebored and mod it to take the big carb etc, the RM125M is up on the stand to be pulled apart to the frame to clean the sand and crap from CD5 out of it, and the latest addition, the IT175G, is also going down to the frame for a full going over and clean up. And if I can get enthused tomorrow I'll clean and lube the 05 YZ - haven't touched it since the over the bars episode 8 weeks ago...

I need to do some work on the bikes before the Eno Classic in a couple of weeks. The YZ125J has been running rough and I think its the stator, I have a nos 1 on the way from usa, hopefully that will get her back to full power. The YZ125G still needs tuning, it isnt hitting hard, it just seem a bit flat all round. The YZ125E needs the exhaust pipe repaired and a general going over. The big job is the YZ125X, I need to strip down the motor and replace the mains and crank seals, a new rod kit, re-sleeve the barrel and a new piston kit. I replace all the seals of the bottom end because she leaks oil. The exhaust pipe is in 2 pieces so I have to get that fixed. The Noguchi 125 needs a new petrol tank cap and tap, and carb shut-off valve seat and a smaller pilot jet. Better get to it.

How did that 80's shit song go?

"Never ending story" CR500 Ignition problems just for a change, but should be a goer this week when i get some parts from USA.

some small  mods to the trailer so i can make the bikes a bit more stable. when this is all done it time to pull the top end off the KTM. i also need to do a tidy up of the shed as i have no idea where things are are in so many locations and find myself buying things occassionally that i later find i already had (well at least stock levels remain)

Talk about teething problems.
First ride after resto
Throttle jams full open..fixed, no front brake...fixed
Second ride
Bike absolutely flies, suspension fabulous, brakes and throttle brilliant and so what does it do....loses F...en third gear. I had a shift fork repaired ( built up with nickel bronze ) and i suspect this has failed.
Have motor out on floor but am working interstate this week so it looks unlikely i will be racing at Glenbawn this week.Am going to ride my 530 in practice so i suppose all is not lost
Frustrated after all the money and time put into restoring it....grrr

Several other XT's that just need time to think about.
