    What state is the engine in as ya dont mention a rebuild... I like to know were my stroker engines are at, not that it makes a farking differance a new one will still pop.
    The motor's good however if I find I need parts I've found a nutter with a stash of pistons and other new parts he'll ration out to worthy causes. He thought he had the last running one in the world. Can't for the life of me find that fucken R/H radiator shroud and it's pissing me off.

    He also confirmed your theory on the ignition timing Dave.

    I will put it in my bike spares and catch up with you or drew at a track at some stage
    Did drew get those throttle cables, mirrors and rad to you?
    I have been asking around for parts, after they stop laughing and metioning rear cylinders you get the "MVX Stories" Hope some bits turn up in forgoten at the back of the shed dusty parts

    Are early VT250 plastics the same?



    The engine sounds mint , not a rattle in it, I got it running after cleaning out the carbs , hot wired it (key missing) and 1 half hearted kick and away it went, was quite suprised how easy it started as it had been left out side for years without even being kicked over.
    They have definatly got a sound of there own
    Got to love 80's bikes , even MVX's aye Jimmy
    MVX FTW bro!!!! Cheers on the front rotor mate, much obliged. Drew dropped all the parts off on new year, she's coming together well. There's subtle differences in the VT bits too unfortunately. I almost have everything I need to make it mint again now anyway.

    If I had an NS400 I'd probably be more inclined to keep the motor in it as they're a far sportier chasis than the MVX anyway. Ignition timing theory confirmed too Dave, thanks for the heads up.

    I was thinking the same thing mate. LOL I shouldn't call him a nutter because he's a bloody top bloke with heaps of advice to offer. Just can't think of any better word to describe us few remaining MVX-ophiles....

    So does this mean that every MVX that came into the country is being rebuilt (again, and again.........)?
