Loving this lock down.
Decided to sort the flywheel side out while Im at it. New counterweight gear, nice to have a gear hob at hand.

Bob weight left side new housing.

Flywheel cover, a little tidier.

That looks great.

. . . The frame however could have met a wire brush and a shakey can.

The whole thing could do with a spit and polish. She is certainly no silk purse. Rough though it is, Id like to see a trail ride event with it this year, finally.

You may have already seen it and commented. "The Dirtbike Rider" simply posted the KTM propoganda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1yLUF3aHxQ

Yes, but they are not intetested.

Arrr, smashed the new side case.
Ive got two starters and they look identical. Powering up the starter all it would do is free wheel so I thought I must have installed the one way clutch backwards, so I changed it. Turns out one starter runs reverse. It undid the drive bolt, jamed and broke the new case. Bugger.
So Ive had to build another one. Now it works and I can start the engine off the dyno. I hate fu$$k ups for no good reason but inattention.

Got my metal unprinter to make these parts. Air filter inner support and screw on cap.

**Flettner** · 9th September 2021, 18:44

That unprinter at work again.

**Flettner** · 12th September 2021, 21:19

Needs an airbox now.

Don't come here much these days but seeing we are still locked down, I'm becoming curious again, - have I missed something? WTF is an "UNPRINTER"? - don't tell me you're off at a tangent again!!

A printer, like FDM or SLA works by adding material.

I'll let you work out the rest.

Yes, l have looked at all that and I have a common or garden 3D printer which I enjoy using (in conjunction with 3D Cad), but never heard of an "unprintrer" ! - maybe I'm falling behind ... again! - please help me to get up to speed.

UPDATE - Good old Dr Google (open even in Lockdown!) - so to me it appears that an SLA printer uses pretty similar technology to this mysterious "unprtnter" (ie it appears to be using the laser to cure resin).
Is it resin / metal powder?"
