Will I get my 100 ready in time for Taupo?

[ajturbo]

hey dave... i just brought a new , GT125 ($150).. talking with clive today, he suggested that i just ride that one...( notice he said RIDE???)

so have spent most of today cutting things off it....to make it go faster

[F5 Dave]

Gee AJ, you're an inspiration to us all. That we could hope to aspire to this level of preparedness.


Jason, I've been keeping every 2nd hand seal over the years so I will be paying you back with a full box of specially aged vintage seals which I'm sure you will appreciate the increased value having been an integral part of one of my engines.

[ajturbo]

i don't blame you dave, it has taken me years to get to this stage....

that and such a busy year with work.... and other things,

today i removed the brake lights, head light and indicators... now it will go real fast... just wait until i remove the side and center stand... next weeks job

And when do you paint it pink, AJ?

So I’m assuming you don’t include my (by now 5 yr) 100cc project into these 2.

So how old is this 100cc project then Dave?

[F5 Dave]

I lose track it's been so long.


Well I had the loaner bike on the dyno just to check out it is running safe. It's had the Sales pipe & port etc, should be pretty healthy.

12hp, ragged. hmm.

He did say it had blown & been rebuilt. Someone had put a bigger jet in it to be safe. Open carb to find a drilled jet. Sod!! I hate those, which way does one go?

Found another 4 or so horses. Hmm well that's FXR power maybe. Do an all gears run. 1st gear 10hp, 2nd 11hp, 3rd 10hp & so on.

Fuel is supplied from a tank I rigged up with a tap directly above the carb. Check carb, increase float height to max.

ok now it will pull 16 through the gears but as a little spike & fall off.

I really don't like the look of that. I think the bike will blow unless I find the problem.

I seem to be without an F4 bike I can ride. 2 weeks out. Shite!

hey dave.. i was given a honda 125 single 4stroke thingy... needs a couple of foot pegs and leavers and the front forks are off the RG50, so i think a bit small ..

but if you want to fix it you can use it....(then take the parts off when done??)

[F5 Dave]

Thanks but no thanks. I can't really afford to fall off till I get the plate out & bones rehealed fully so an old nail with suspect tyres isn't a goer.


. . . .however if someone has a nice competitive 2 stroke on slicks. .

????????? It needs new tires, the rear brake needs a bit of attention and new clutch plates (which should have reached Pickets by now) need to be installed..... Plus it is in Jaffaland so you will have to come and get it and return it when you are done.
Also, IF YOU FUCK IT YOU FIX IT

[F5 Dave]

YES Please!!


um. I'll do some organising & talk to Picklet. I wonder if Keith has some room?

cheers mate.

Let me know. Do you still have my msn email address?

Mate,
The front tire should be OK. It is an old one of CP's, he will tell you just how old (stuffed???)it is. The wheel is a RS125 Tecnomagnesio, you should be able to figure the size, I don't remember ask CP. The rear tire was on it when I built the bike so 12 yrs old at least. The rear wheel is a std 17" TZR 50 so ask DP what size, I don't remember. The rear brake is a bit of a mystery. I stripped both the caliper and M cylinder, cleaned 'em out but cannot get any pressure at the caliper... I sent some new clutch plates to CP last week so best you install them. The ones in it looked ok but they are the same type/age as the ones I used in the Ohakea GP when Morely beat me. Not an excuse, he would probably have won anyway, but I found three of 'em were broken when I pulled it apart after the GP. During the GP I was having to regularly adjust the cable as 'slack' was apearing at the lever. The distraction of the necessary adjusting as well as the shitty clutch feel drastically slowed me blahblah.
When I rode it at Mt Welli this year several times along the straight it would go from 4th to 3rd under power. I never had this happen 12 yrs ago so I put it down to my shitty riding.
Also, make sure you tell CP to get my fork brace back from his mate Mark, it really helps.
So really, fix the rear brake, fit the clutch plates and fork brace and sort the tires. Not a turn key but nothing serious.
If I think of anything else I will email.

If you go to www.skype.com and dl the free software, we will be able to speak live and completely free over the net. Me and CP use it and it works great. You will need a mic as well. If you have a webcam that is even better.

Later,

PS IF YOU DO RACE IT YOU MUST BEAT THE 4 STROKES NO EXCUSES!!! (or at least punt a couple of 'em off if you can't beat 'em) Pix and or vids of the event would be nice please. It will be good to see it get used.

[Trudes]

HOLY SHIT!!! Now THAT will be cool!!!
