Banging noises? I don't like the sound of that either

I would suggest you take it into a trusted mechanic and let him have a look at it. It is almost impossible to diagnose without seeing stuff for me anyway.As you have striped it down it should not cost much.

I dont have a trusted mechanic!! Just me. LOL

I think a full tear down is needed.

In saying that the $200 motor on TM sounds good or the Forza motor sounds like a fun conversion, just waiting on price.

id say put your get that $200 motor and run it..itll fit perfectly and the at a later date try your top end (230cc and head, cam etc) on it
the forza motor would undoubtedly be good but nearly sacreligious
to fit to a bike of such cool status when there are other options
(not wanting to do you out of a deal though cavey!)

Those are my thoughts to. But guy on TM with motor not answering questions. And no price yet on the Forza. Found another XR200 that I may buy that cheap enough to take the motor from....

Then i will spend my time rebuilding my motor.

That sounds good and would be a great project. but it would appear my budget for this $600 so i will head down the buy another motor or rebuild route.

Cheers

great value!!!! i wouldnt mind an old cg125 or similar re-powered with one of those
hehe

Did you buy this thing in bits or complete? A story to explain the reason for the question......

After I reassembled my XL250 motor from a kitset, and replaced a couple of bits that weren't in the box, it left a large puddle of oil on the floor of my garage. It turned out that the missing bits weren't missing, just hiding inside the engine. Hence it now has a repaired crankcase and a funny noise in 2nd gear from said missing part jamming between the gears.

And I might be wrong, but generally a loose clutch basket is a bad thing....

Its a great deal for sure, Im just a bit short on buying it. Would be perfect.

**nzspokes** · 4th October 2011, 18:02

Well Im fucked If I can get the thing apart. The flywheel wont move and the head allen bolts have been way over tightened. Ive got to drill one out. The screws holding the CDI wont undo either. Im guessing the monkey that rebuilt it over tightened everything.

No one will get back to me either. Im interested in that $200 trademe motor and a parts bike. But they wont respond to me.

Getting a bit over it.

**nzspokes** · 4th October 2011, 20:16

I know that a grand is a lot to spend but listen to these motors.....
