View Full Version : De-reg'd Cibby
just picked one up for 5 hundy as a winter project.
has anyone re-reg'd a bike before? i wanna know what VTNZ focuses on so i can work on them the most.
i reckon 5hundy is a steal for an mc22. also wanna know if there other places for parts in the auck area except for Atomic and Action.
the bike's pretty rough fairing wise too.. if anyone got any tips to get it up to scratch let me know
Thanks!

Yaha!! and seeing a Vic Club have just introduced the new 250, minilite class there will always be a market for it!! :)
yeah i'd love to race it. really really would. but i'v been living without the folks for just over a year (they moved to aus) and money is tight! so just wanna get it road worthy for now, then maybe when i upgrade i'll put it on the track. still though, need some tips. the bike's got no structural rust so thats a huge weight off. does anyone know any friendly VTNZ people who do bikes? the ones i usually speak to seem like they got a carrot up their ass the whole time. i'll put up some pics tonight or tomorrow cause its not at mine, the mrs' mum had a fit because i got cars clogging up the driveway already.

yes $500 is a steal for an MC22 - I just bought a slightly wrecked one (buggered forks) for $400....so if your's is in good nick you did well. Only last month I found an MC22 motor only for sale for....$1000!!!
As for compliance, check with John Brett at http://www.lowvolumevehicle.co.nz/. Not sure if he does what you are after, but seems like a helluva nice guy and willing to help.

yeah mate full set what are you after? - will need repaint, most fairings dont need major repair (i.e., most damage being a mounting tab missing - mounts fine without)
lol yeah my fairings have most screw hole mountings cracked off which means most of them are only held by a couple of screws.
i know my accelerator is gone so need that, theres just a metal bar there..
where abouts are you? (renegade master).
jetboy: how many kms did the engine do? i picked one up thats done 20,000 for 600. i thought that wasnt too bad either.
theres a thread around this forum that teaches you to plastic weld, well sorta doesnt it??

The engine I bought has done 22,000 but it came with (almost) a full bike. $600 isn't too bad at all from what I've seen.

To answer first poster, yeah I revinned an FZR last year, they will be picky. Give it a good go over, fix everything that NEEDS to be fixed, I would worry firstly about the mechanical issues, worry about the fairings later, you may need that money for actual inspection items, for example, you will not get thrown out for having a shit paint jo, you will get thrown out on ONE missing bolt for the fairings (I did) so worry about that frst. My advice would be to fix everything YOU can see, then take it in for the test. If it fails you get a list of what needs to be fixed, and you get four weeks to fix those things and take it back, no extra charge. I would invite some local KBers around for a beer and a looksie if I were you, get some other perspectives, and meet some new people!
ah thanks! thats exactly the answert i was looking for. i need new fairings anyways as most of my tabs are broken off, so i'm going to buy new ones. anyone tried fleabay ones? oh and i've got a new engine since there wasnt really any point fixing the old one. but i've stripped it down and removing all the surface rust. do you know what kind of things they checked? because that would give mne a good idea on what to work on the most

Modo There is a VERY good plastic welder I use who can fix most of your busted lugs.
Also please confirm HOW the bike was deregistred. It makes a huge difference if its simply lapsed rego as oposed to written off.
The cost difference is around $400
well i'm not sure, i have all the paperwork. but he said the cam lobes were wrecked and the oil pickup shat itself so he probably just let the rego run.
how is it different? because dont you have to get it re-vinned both ways?

check brake disks are up to thickness (the are big on this)
and replace both sets of pads :shifty: (will keep them happy)

If it's been written off following a crash , you'll need to get the frame certified as being straight (and forks, wheels etc all in line and so on).
</br/> Cost of the certificate isn't cheap. And that's before you start on any repairs to get said certificate.
</br/> Thing is with an older bike, often things aren't entirely 100% straight before the crash (hell, briddish iron, things weren't straight when they left the factory - depending on how many beers old Harry had at lunch time). Mostly a VERY small misalignment isn't a big deal, unless you're a racer. But the measuring machines are VERY accurate and will show it up. So then y' gotta get it straightened. Ouch.

i checked the disc thickness' the other day, its a pretty fine line. came up with a few readings below the min thickness but tested again and a again in different ways and came up with readings above that thickness. yeah i am changing the pads. really need some parts though. barryn rd guys have nothing for my bike. i found that the rego had been lapsed so do they still check the straightness?

dont worry about that unless it hase been crashed
it's a Jap bike not some old British pre war BSA bantim
(dont know if the BSA was around pre war but then again I didn't say what war <_<)

ah ok solid. do you guys know where or how i can get some keys cut?
the guy i got it from lost the keys and has a broken key. if i cut it from the broken key its not gonna work becuase they make exact copies. so does anyone know if i can jst take the ignition to a locksmith or something with a blank key?

talk to a good locksmith they should be able to cut it from a number on the bike somewhere
or get them to re key the barrel
ring a few locksmiths they will tell you (not a key cuting service)
thanks bro. but i dont think they stock bike keys. might have to get a blank one.
sweeet thanks heaps guys
