When are you getting one? Are you still going to race the CBR first? I might see about a cheap 125GP bike for next season if all goes well on the RG. Ideally I would've race 125GP this yearOriginally Posted by RG100!!

na ive given up on the cbr.... im gonna turn it into a street bike..... there are a few 125s around on here, but im realy interested in racerleos TZ125
oh and doooooo get a 125... i need some competition
Well its too late now. The money from the CBR is going towards a bike for my Dad and to pay for rebulids to my brothers '04 KX125 whilst all money that I had to go into a bike was put into the RGOriginally Posted by RG100!!
bugger that sucks.... ah well
Well, I'm putting the bike back together. I'm going to see if the powervalves are just gunged up and if the bike still doesn't run well I'll take it to the shop to get their opinion.
Now, what I need to know is: Where do those 2 springs go? If you don't know what springs I'm talking about, it's unlikely you'll know where they go cause they're the only springs there. When I opened up the powervalve chamber they were loose inside and so was the clip that holds them so I don't know where they go. Can anyone help? Once I know this I should be able to do the rest and get the bike running soon.
Bumpity Bump. Where do those springs go?
Tried searching the site?

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Nope sorry, still confused. What I need to know is what that clip attaches to and where do the springs goOriginally Posted by riffer
Hmmmm. Try F5 Dave. He knows everything...

Eureka! I finally figured it out! Anyone with half a brain would've figured it out in a matter of minutes, but I figured it out anyway!
Although looks like I need new springs. In the photo from a previous post you can see the kinks on the top of them and the bracket can't hold on to them. Not sure what happened to the springs, they were loose inside the chamber along with the bracket and bolt that's meant to hold them and they were bent where the bracket holds onto the springs. I guess the bolt wasn't tightened enough and they fell out resulting as a loss of performance? What do I know, I haven't got half a brain
So it's a trip to Motomart to get new springs, then hopefully I can get the powervalves back together, then the radiator and plumbing and the bike will be rideable
I just took one of mine apart... it was the same thing.
It happened because i had a bastard of a time un-doing the screw, so i didn't do it up tight when i put it back together last time...
this time, i'll be using an impact driver.
I suffer from hooliganism.... Know me before you judge me

Design flaw maybe. The screw seems to come undone after 15000 km's or so. Maybe people just need to check em more often.
Don't think an impact driver is necessary but the strongest strength loctite definately is.Originally Posted by ZorsT
Went into Wellington Motorcycles today to order in new springs as the originals are stuffed. $3.50 each which isn't as much as I was expecting so that was good.
Would it be ok to get softer springs from a hardware store to use instead or is it best not to risk it? In the latest ADB mag they said softer springs increase top end power and I thought it might be worth a shot
