My new race bike..CR125m.
« on: August 22, 2007, 09:46:47 pm »
AT long long last I now have my race bike to enter into VMX racing in the class I think I can handel.  ;D pre 75 125.
Thanks to a forum member ( ID yourself if you choose ) I am now the proud owner of this CR125m. Clearly needs total rebuild and a seat would be handy... Even so im very pleased to own this little rocket.

Any advice, parts, tips on getting the bike ready are most welcome.  injuries limit my abilities to work on it for a while and cash flow is tight at moment, yet she will be done in fasted time possible given these restraints. All other MX bike projects will be put on hold to focus efforts into this bike until shes race ready.

Still workng bon transport from Brisbane to me in country NSW. Soon to be sorted i hope..

Heres a picture of my pride and joy..

At last!
Brad, I think the whole OzVMX community owes you a beer - Quickie's finally got an Elsinore!

And Drew, you'd better have it ready for when your body is ready. Can't wait to see you on the start line for one of HEAVEN's Classic 125 races. :)

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

First and formost I need to get it down here. Then I can get my one good hand dirty and start pulling her apart. Brad, being good he his, has chucked in a spare barrel and head. First job will be to unlock the engine for inspection and full rebuild.

Suprise suprise.. ;D Quick search on ebay bought up a list of everything i need from bearings to piston kits, even a complete CR125m seat .. Bloody hell. A pleasant change from searching TM250 parts. ::).Just have to finance it all now...At least I have 55 interest free days to pay back price of the bike.  ;D ;D

As for racing......... First position at rear of the field  ;D Thats about the position id expect given my rusty old ridding skills, over weight fragile body and total lack of youthful recklessness.

orange tank, though that was 75. m2 or is that just the tank ?

anyhow dont wind it too tight.  we got a guy down here runniing on methonol, bloody fast and it was wound so tight though it did have trouble keeping the bottom end happy.    GEt the thing running sweet and just enjoy it , if you make it too fast or too sexy youll be too afraid to use it or it may become unstable.

Glad your back on track.   If you can get it to a brisbane depot we can get it to newcastle or blacktown, depending on what you want to spend on getting it back and how soon :O)

Freaky, yeah its a 75 model but legal for pre 75. Great you have gone to trouble with your freight options, im sure many will use the service. For me it wont really work as the depots are still many hours drive from my place. Their some companies that use the inland route. Just need to get it on-board one of those carriers.

im more interested in a close up of that stand.  mine always seems to catch fowl the pipes when you kick it down, and you cant use a milkcrate.  I think its to high off the dec but maybe its the design at the frame lift point.  Close up please
