Bucket bits wanted & services needed

[Henk]

After a frustrating rear tyre change last night I come to put the tyre back on the bike and the meat from the brake pad snaps off :brick:

I doubt it was my manly strength, on closer inspection it looks like it has rusted and become brittle.

Anyway, I am in need of some rear pads, does anyone have some serviceable ones or have a link to an obscure generic site to order them off before I contact our friends at Cycletreads?


I've probably got some half worn ones in the toolbox. Also have some new ones I'd rather hang onto. Look me up in the morning at the track if you get stuck.
Front and rear pads are the same by the way.

[John_H]

Looking for a throttle tube for my FXR. Got quoted a $55 for a replacement oem one! Looking for any alternatives within $15, a quick throttle would be nice, but there's no budget for it at the moment.

[javawocky]

I may get the reputation of becoming needy, but getting up and running in buckets an't free.

Right, next problem - getting the bike there - trailer hire is like $50 a day :O

Right, so does anyone going to the racing on the weekend have space for an extra bike who lives around torbay? Beers / Petrol cost contributed.

Or, does anyone else in the area hire a trailer and wants to go in harvies?

Or, does anyboy near by have a trailer they want to loan out for Beers?

I would ride it down, but I might attract attention.

Pete Jones used to ride his 1930's Dunlet from Southland to Greymouth whip of the lights and number plate race all day and ride home probably a 1000km round trip.

But what you want is a mount for your towbar like a pushbike ones only stronger.the square towbars make this easier of course.
Plenty of people used to have similar ones where they towed the bike with the front wheel off the ground as well.
I bet you could get the material for cheaper than $50 if you were inventive or innovative enough. Failing that a Ute can be useful.;)

ACC has put PAY to the plan of riding to the track, legally anyway.

However, this http://hildstrom.com/projects/mototow/index.html is probably the solution I will pursue.

So, who is good at welding stuff in Auckland? Can anyone willing and able to supply metal and build The Motorcycle Towbar PM me? Payed of course - cash not back tickles.

My towbar is solid as and was one of those removable tongues, although I imagine removing the ball and bolting it in would probably be easiest.

One problem with this idea - technically anything with a wheel on the ground MUST be registered, therefore your race bike is illegal to use as a "trailer"

[F5 Dave]

Who the hell wants to wear out their soft race tyre driving Auckland distances to the track?

[javawocky]

One problem with this idea - technically anything with a wheel on the ground MUST be registered, therefore your race bike is illegal to use as a "trailer"

This may be an issue, will have to stop the nearest Plod and ask. Mmm, wonder if it could be re-registered as a trailer - would be fun trying to hook up the indicators etc...


Who the hell wants to wear out their soft race tyre driving Auckland distances to the track?

Nobody uses the center of the tyre on a diesel - there is not enough power for that.

Rego as trailer would be easy enough but wouldnt you be better building an axel with clamps that would grab your swingarm in a trike shape rather than wear out the tires flat.

Trailer need no weld cert etc because light weight. Needs rear reflector, indicators, tail light/stop light, numberplate light. Not hard to make something.

[Jubba]

Would a klr250 one work

[Drew]

Would a klr250 one work

Probably. Three phase wires come into it from the stator, one comes out to the battery, one to earth, and one to a hot wire in the loom.

[F5 Dave]

The last (feedback) wire Drew mentioned may not be on cheapo suzis, but if your replacement one has that wire find a switched wire to splice into. Power to the brake light switch is usually close.

Many thanks gentlemen. Can I say yes to both? I have two bikes in need of fresher hoses. The full story is that they are for the girls' KR streetstock bikes. The current hoses are so poked the levers come back to the bars. I'm not allowed to use braided hoses because it's streetstock.

Just use the complete weight and subtract the weight of the engine

I have a bare frame (not sure about the swingarm, think that might be under the house in Auckland) down here in Morrinsville at the moment. I will see if the olds have the calf scales hooked up and throw it on.

[Pumba]

Bare frame in road going form (as in no shit cut off it) plus the triple clamps (cause I could not be arsed unbolting them) comes in at 17kg.

I have weighed the swing arm in the past when I was doing comparisons. I think it was about 5kg, or was it 7kg, not light anyway. I have it written down at home in my book and will check on the weekend.

Cheers pumba,

I only asked as I picked up a cheap RG150 frame yesterday with tank shock swingarm and seat and it seemed realy f#@king heavy, will have to strip all the excess shit off and see how it compares to the fxr.

[Pumba]

I have compared the swing arms between the FXR and a RG125. frm memory due the linkages and shit i think that is heavier part. i dont think the will be much in the frames as they are pretty much identical.

I am looking for two of these VTR1000 3x17" front wheels in good order .... PM me if you have one to sell.

[Crisis management]

I'm looking at improving the handling of the GP125, anyone have any recommendations / experience with rear shocks? Options seem to be buy a newer pair of the same stuff (adjustable spring preload and some adamping) or what?
Any suggestions welcome!

Edit: Just for clarification, the reason I want to improve the rear suspension is to get rid of chatter, currently cornering goes a bit like...chatter, chatter, crash. Be nice to get rid of the chatter.

fit a yamaha 3LN or 1KT frame

I'd brace up the frame a bit, brace up my swing arm a lot, and put decent shocks on.

When was teh last time the fork oil was changed?

Don't want the engineering? No problem, buddy up with the motoX boys, and get a set of Showa/Ohlins/anything from VMX.

[Crisis management]

Thanks Drew, it's an ongoing project so the VMX suggestion is good. Basically it's an old school bucket and I don't want to lose that look, I enjoy wallying around in B grade on it and if I get serious I will start with a different frame rather than try and convert the GP too much.

I've done three laps on my bike, I wont judge man. LOL

[F5 Dave]

On my H i used some CBX250 shocks which were sort of adequate. I redrilled a hole in the frame & put an axle through to mount them a bit angled over which made them slightly softer than the 250 fitment.

The triple clamp on the GPs is woeful. Needs a better top clamp from memory, I think they were just bolts on top, not fork clamps. On my MB I welded some bottom clamps on the top & filed the holes so you could drop the forks through. This helped in many ways.

As it happens, we swapped the front end from an rgv150 into lukes GP. Goes straight in, and you can retain your wheel, and mud guard.

I think Acetal is the shit you want, mulfords have it in black and white 50mm is a good size

[speights_bud]

I'd pass on Acetal Personally, as its more prone to cracking chipping, more likely to shear off on you etc, ideally you just want some cheap Nylon, or UHMWPE (Um-fee - Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly-Ethylene) is the shit if you want to pay for it

I think acetal is the business. I had it on my old bike that hit the deck a lot, sometimes faster than I would have liked. I just transferred the same bits to the new bike. Lasts well.

[Crisis management]

Raided the Mulfords scrap bin, $5 for enough to make 6 sliders so I'm happy (my Scots ancestors are rubbing their hands and gloating), the material is UHMPE but I will bear in mind the acetal suggestions as anything soft gets eaten by the track surface. I'll try acetal on the GP125 when it gets rebuilt next year.

[F5 Dave]

Are you sure it was Acetel? It is usually just the thing for sliders, chipping isn't really a characteristic, it machines well.

$5 from the scrap bin? Bargein!

You've used it and obviously it works, so it must be good :yes:

I just remember a guy at work making Acetal Ends for his Deadblow (because he was too cheap to go buy them) and the corners just chipped away when knocking down ally in the CNC, perhaps he picked up the wrong material...

[koba]

I've found Acetal be the best out of the many different plastics I've tried.
UHMWPE is real 'stringy' when you machine it and I think it doesn't slide as well.
Not sure if there are different grades or types of acetal?

Horses for courses eh?

Acetal (= perspex) is quite stiff, mechanically strong but will shatter under impact.
UHMWPE is more like petrified chewing gum, bit soft for some engineering duties but very slippery and won't shatter.
Nylon is the other reasonably inexpensive option for sliders, some of the advantages of both the above.

[Yow Ling]

Acetal (= perspex) is quite stiff, mechanically strong but will shatter under impact.


Acetal = Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal,[1] polyacetal and polyformaldehyde is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts that require high stiffness, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. As many other synthetic polymers, it is produced by different chemical firms with slightly different formulas and is therefore sold under many commercial names like Delrin, Celcon, Hostaform, etc.

Perspex = Poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA has been sold under a variety of brand names and generic names. It is often generically called acrylic glass,[6] although it is chemically unrelated to glass. It is sometimes called simply acrylic, although acrylic can also refer to other polymers or copolymers containing polyacrylonitrile. Other notable trade names include:

Lucite
Plexiglas
Optix (Plaskolite)
Perspex

Not really the same stuff

The CDI plug is the same as the injector control box plug (nippodenso) on my work ute, 2007 diesel hilux. I went to the wreckers to try and find something the same to cut off a loom, couldnt find one the same and ended up using the plug for a corolla wiper motor, most 90's toyotas are all the same, just have to file a bit off the locator lug on the plug, was a bit wider

I made a new loom for the FXR, didnt want to cut up the original and still had all the road gear and plates on hold. Sold the FXR now tho

I won't worry about the FXR tank but If you've still got the pit bike tank I would take it off your hands, let me know the cost. I won't take the FXR tank as I have a cunning plan about mounting the pit bike tank. I'm going to cut a hole just big enough to fit the pit bike tank through and then hold it in place by filling the rest of the tank with expanding foam. Does that seem reasonable or can you foresee any problems with that?

[Drew]

Does that seem reasonable or can you foresee any problems with that?Just filling it, and that the expanding foam we use in building is not impervious to petrol.

The spare FXR tank already has a hole in it at the bottom still smaller than the tank.. It will save you the hassle of doing the dodgy thing and cutting your tank. Filled mine with water and purged for a week and it still went pop a little.

What is the correct procedure for purging anyway, apart from just draining it of course?

[Farmaken]

You can use your car exhaust fumes - run a hose into tank and run car engine. CO2 helps reduce combustability of the fuel vapours

[Ocean1]

What is the correct procedure for purging anyway, apart from just draining it of course?

That's a question probably best left unanswered nowadays. Places like NZR or the big petrochem outfits used to have procedures for cutting and welding fuel tanks, now they simply ban the practice altogether. Used to involve water flushing and maintaining as much water in the tank as possible during the work. Think they used meths or similar to absorb and dump a lot of the fuel lurking in corners first.

I did all that, once, on a bike tank and still found I could light the gas column venting from the filler hole. I figured if it stayed lit I'd be all good to continue. I got away with it then, but I think nowadays I've got as sissified as those big outfits, I'd find another way.

[koba]

What is the correct procedure for purging anyway, apart from just draining it of course?

Both the above statements cover it.

It went wrong for us when we tried water, CO2 seems the better bet.
Avoiding it altogether is the best option!

[Gigglebutton]

I have had a couple go pop F*#@!K !!!
Now I flush with a hose for an hour or two
Warm with a car exhaust for an hour or two
Then purge with argon at 5 liters per hour while welding
I have welded hydrogen , entonox and biogas lines which are less scary
Good luck

[Drew]

Don't use anything to cut, that creates a spark. A dril, tin snips, and a multitool are all ya need to cut a hole. Welding it back up...Fuck that. Solder for the win!

[quallman1234]

We used a cold chisel on my one. Reduces the chances yet again, of course there's still the odd spark so still needs purging properly.

Yea cheers, I have purchased one of these, cheap chinese crap. The holes on each side are actually above the centre line, meaning if I mount it there is a step in the inlet track. Size isn't too bad, its made for a 28mm carb so is a little bigger than ideal but still.... kinda... fits.. ish. Need to have another look and see how boogie I can maybe get away with, don't think there's much metal for me to try moving the mount holes towards 'centre'.

In my experience there's no such thing as a really poor quality ball/roller bearing, the cost of the capital plant sort of precludes the worst of the cowboys from the industry. Certainly minor differences in quality, though to be sure, but I think they're far from pushing the design limits of taper roller bearings typically used for steering heads. The most common failure mode I've seen is water/dirt contamination.

You're correct (as usual) and they are not bearings I would use in an engine or transmission but they are only selling head and wheel bearings so they are good buying for what they are.

I'm in Thailand at the moment and it only just occurred to me how many bike shops and upgrade kits there are here etc. A set of flexible style levers are like 60 bucks NZD from a honda shop. Not to mention a knock off generic brand shop....

I was in at a store Supercheap which is a wholesale of everything from Hospital IV bags to bike rims and upgrades. took 2 hours and didnt get through half the store and planning on going back next week.

which leads me to my question, whats the FXR150 called in thailand? the Suzuki Raider 150? I've seen plenty of CBR150's here but there seems to be a lack of suzuki's, but Honda shops are everywhere...

I'm definitely conscious of weight as i'm bringing back booze as well, but was thinking about a master cylinder for myself at least and perhaps some other fxr bits if they tickle my fancy.

Hi Sam, is this for a roadbike? I could dig around my spares but I think I had a cull some time back.


As you've found out the tanks rust in the bottom corners where water settles esp on the sidestand side. you wan't find a good tank easily & best bet for a roadbike is to get a competent welder to cut that section out & weld.

For a racebike find a small inner tank & cut out the std one as a cover.

Obviously any of these options needs to be considered with safety practices in mind, there is a bunch of info of best ways to do it. Research properly.

[Sam.McPherson.NZ]

Hey F5 Dave, things are often only needed once they are thrown away :P

yeah its for a road bike, please dont hate me....

i have a friend whos a competant welder so that should be a easy fix, but the tank on it atm is a 1 litre? bucket tank, if anyones after one?

the oil pump is the real necessity, the rest i can work out how to "make do"

The flywheel on the CR85 I used was a different taper to the one on my crank so I drilled the rivets out that hold the taper to the flywheel and removed the centre and screwed the correct centre to the correct flywheel, I tried to get the key to line up but didn't work :facepalm:

KX80 is the one you want but I think there's a few of us on the look out for them. What you really want is the early KX125 stator (1990 or there abouts) with a lighting coil so you can run the ignitech. The stator plate is the same between the 80 and 125, the rotor is the same size but the taper and key placement is different. I think you'll find the MB's have a larger crank taper as I know the KX125 rotor fits straight on while its to big for the Suzu and Kwaka.
There's probably a later model 6 or 8 pole stator/rotor setup that will match up, let me know when you find it.

Hi,

Looking for a long 15mm axle.

Needs to be 320mm from inside the flange to the end.
See pic. Wanting to fit 17" wheel to RGV250 based bucket.
Have a set of FZR wheels but can't change bearings to suit 20mm axle.

Have Emailed Bucket's n Bits, but no reply yet.
I don't have any wreckers handy, live in the wop wops.

Cheers
Muzza

[Grumph]

Can I assume you're going to have to bush the forks to suit the 15mm axle ?

If so, why not make up a long sleeve nut to accomodate the extra length.

I've heard there are a couple of lathes over there......

[husaberg]

Yeah it's for the rear though unfortunatly, the Yamaha have a poxy 35mm od bearing. The swingarm is superwide, The sleevenut would be great for the front where it can be pinched up, but i couldn't think of how to secure it on the rear. Weird thing is the Suzuki seemed to have no security pin/clip at all on the std setup. It surprised me. didn't want to make an axle because shit it's a bucket, but i understand there is the odd Lathe about.(mostly idle since pike and solid energy issues and now gold is dropping too)

[Grumph]

Well, I've never seen a 15mm axle that long - and i've been raiding wreckers bins for years.
I'd suggest a piece of 15mm HT threaded 14 X 1.5 both ends...

Years back now we turned up a long 20mm axle from a broken HQ halfshaft...HQ steel is tough shit

Yeah weird aye normally it is just a simple bearing swap or axle swap. I think some Honda's had swingarm pivots that will work.
I found a few axles on the web but def not shipping stuff from the UK.

[F5 Dave]

you're in the wrong area, try back up a few step in the mechanical area. Buckets are 150cc max race bikes.

PS tell you wife to screw herself, she'z lucky you are spending time in garage not chasing tail.

I need someone in the know, to map a set of expansion chambers out for my GT125.

Had a guy who was gonna do it, but I fucked his missus off somehow and it's prolly best not to cause him any grief.

Grow a pair and make the apology you "claimed" that you were gonna make for doing and saying the shit that you did and maybe that missus might not be angry about it and may even forgive, God forbid.

OR

Grow pair and ask him anyway, he's his own man and likes and helps whoever the fuck he wants. Though you did tell him that you'd found someone else to do it.....

And if you're talking about someone else then that song "oops I did it again" comes to mind.

That's very cool. But it asks questions, the answers of which I am trying to figure out.

Header length and taper for example, are a mystery since the factory pipes are totally useless.

the answers are at the bottom though, i are not breast feeding you Drew, you are a big boy now.(well maybe, not so much)
Curious though, what did you do and say to stop someone letting there hubby play with you Drew?

Anyway this is a better one based on a simplified Frits Overmars design.

If i was you Drew for a start do a simple pipe with a plain header that way you can use bends from the muffler shop for the header, assuming they have pipe that small.

get a fxr, there is a reason they popular.

a good set of pipes will cost more than your bucket so far and you would still have to weld them together prolly 10 hours each maybe more

Bucket owes me zero. So anything is gonna be worth more. I don't plan on selling the thing as long as I can find someone who wants to ride it.

Time I can find to weld it up, I want it right is the only concern.

She doesn't seem to say he can't come play. So long ago, I don't recall what pissed her off to start with. Then I made the mistake of posting a fuckin funny picture, and pointing out a serious similarity.

Single disc model 320mm?

Same as FZR 750 nd 1000 , Ducati and Aprilia's are the same too

metalgear web site has the sizes and offsets, think there is a model change over chart there

[koba]

It would have been twin disc originally.

Will have to have a look at metal gear site and measure the fitting at the hub of the disc.

It would be nice to get the fitment close but some adaption will be required.

Would be good to get one for a dummy fit up if anyone has any lying around...

Not sure what the bike was, could prob check date stamps on the rims when I dig them out of the shed.

2KR FZR250 has 2.15 rim with 320 single rotor

3LN FZR250 has 2.75 rim with twin 290mm?

1KT TZR250 has the same as 2KR FZR

Hmm, I thought it was 2.5 but have to check now!

[koba]

Just having a quick browse around, did 3LN's really have cartridge forks?

[speedpro]

No. I have had a couple of different model FZR forks apart and they were all damper rod type. I now have cartridge emulators from CKT.
The mounting for all the discs are the same. I currently have a single disc from a 2KT FZR250 on my 3LN front wheel. I got rid of the huge ugly front calliper and fitted the calliper and master cylinder off my old RS125. I think they're real nice brakes.
The 3LN front wheel is 2.75" and even I have been known to get to the edge of front slicks, and probably past the edge.

Yeah, I thought that was too good to be true!
The internet is often full of rubbish.

Any competitions parts are just so much better than road stuff eh!

I have a suspicion the NC30 had cartridge forks...but not sure
YSS also do emulators i only just figured that out........never used them, so no idea..

I do have a 4 pot brembo in the shed no good to me bloody wrong side for the RS125 nf4 it is the wider mounts one so different pads than the Honda RS nx4 version.

I have a feeling if you were going to use the Honda fork might be easier to run with the std Nissin Honda caliper. As it was good enough for the early rs's.
I have a mount here for the RS forks and a bigger disk.
It was from a chassis i brought from scott i think it had a 2.5 honda rim and a FZR 2kr disk if that helps.

[F5 Dave]

it was a 2.5" rim, not sure what it was off, bought them from Kickaha years back, not 320mm like Ducati, my YZF750SP spare discs didn't fit so will be the 290mm

[koba]

I have a suspicion the NC30 had cartridge forks...but not sure

Yeah, early ones had damper rods, later cartridge.

As for the other Hinder stuff; I'm confused, I was talking Yama here!?

Yeah, Fuck knows, I'll work with what I can get and what I've got.
Pretty keen to get wider rims, I used to be fine on pinchy slicks but I'm getting to be soft with age or something...

isn't ya chassis a Honda.......
I was kinda guessing your std forks were as well?

The the Bucket service i require is as such:

Someone who will put in writing that i can run a Suzuki RM85 engine at a meeting, gaining no points, just for experimental purposes to prove a point.
Said service would therefore guarantee the absence of fellow riders getting in a shit fit because it's 'Not in the rules'. Stock standard engine, just for a laugh.

Any takers?

I thought the other day, "That new Long-shit was a waste of $600, now what.... Ah fuck it, that dirt bike engine could be fun"

Well one would be foolish not to.

Me? Well I have a GG300 that has a small enough sized engine I could sling it into my bucket I'm pretty sure, - & I think I should be able to race it as long as I don't run over too many people & of course that I don't have to pay entry fees.
