52 Mk 11 the start

[Rick 52]

Very cool ,Its good to see other ways of mounting .........Engines.
Its the rear mount I'm not sure about yet and with my engine away I will have to see when it gets back .I picked the fairings up on Thursday Carl should I bring them to the next meeting ? Gearing any ideas fellas ....I will have to buy a blank rear but I can only find a 48 tooth 428 pitch ...so 12-48 what do you think ?this is the same as my FXR then I use a 14 front for Taupo.

[speedpro]

I had a 52T rear sprocket I used on the kart tracks and a 48T for big tracks. I also had 12-17T fronts so had it pretty covered. 12-48 will do to get started for sure. You will end up changing gearing to avoid the 3rd to 4th change exiting corners

[speedpro]

I just checked and I have a 428 33T sprocket I don't need any more. It's thinned and lightened and machined to fit an RG50 sprocket carrier. You're welcome to it if it's any use.

[Rick 52]

Cheers Mike ,I think the centre hole has to be 42mm for the Rs,Are you going to the next meeting ?

yep next meeting pay you then ?
unless I see you at touch or something

ask Dad about where to get sprokets from
you will have to machine them up but it's not to hard and they are easy to change after that

Team ESE's approch to the rear engine mount using the original RS mounts on NedKellys bike.

[Rick 52]

Its running !! Lots of work done but the carb keeps falling off and the clutch slips ...
I have changed the plates and the oil but still it slips ..plenty of free play I'm over it for today so I'm going for a swim

[Buckets4Me]

Thats starting to look good
now I understand why that tail on the fxr never got painted and looks so ugly

[Buckets4Me]

and another 2 stroke comes alive

[F5 Dave]

Wind the springs in on the clutch. Getting the pins through will require some skill, make a spring puller.

That manifold will be a source of constant problems. Try convert to a plate with a bolt on rubber manifold. A GP125 rubber works well on 24mm carbs.

[Rick 52]

Cheers Dave I will try the springs they are a bastard to get them in ..
The carb is a 28mm flat slide and the manifold is 24mm plus it has to be longer than I would have liked because the carb hits the rear shock mount..your right its going to be a problem.

.

Its great to see another special being built.

Chambers recons, old 2-Strokes never die they just go faster..........

Can you notch out then weld the cross member for more clearence or maybe remove it altogether and weld it back in a nearby location?
That long garden hose 'manifold' you have made will definitely cost HP and looks really shitty too, do something better.

Think my 28mm carbs I run on the 50 run with an X7 inlet manifold. You can cut off the old one & weld a plate to the barrel. The rubber manifold bolts to this. You only need a bit of weld & fill the gaps with Devcon or JB weld. Do it on a slight angle , say to the left & smooth a nice curve with Devcon to get the carb out of the way to the side a bit. Should be less of a compromise. A PWK flatslide may be smaller than a Mikuni.

Or find an angled manifold, bound to be a bike out there that came with one.
