Turning an AX100 into a bucket

[rcpboy]

ok; so what are you flogging off?

i'm heading to the races in Auckland on sunday to watch and meet people; if that helps.

[Trudes]

Well I'm in Wellington, so no help there. But I have an AX100 bucket that goes and is race ready (well, apart from some repairs that I haven't had time to do yet, small job, swapping a front wheel) It's a good starter bucket. There's a lot of info in that thread, but this post shows you what she looks like now.

cool; what would something like pamela set me back? just trying to get a feel for how much to spend.

i'm going to have a look at the ax100 on tardme on saturday, and then see what's out at the races on saturday.

i used to have a gt125, but killed that (blew a big end). would have been ideal i suppose. went to the islands i think for a second, and probably very short life.

righto.

thanks trudi; got the pm - not enough posts to respond to you though through PM. will be in touch; looking at a gl145 at the moment.

[Trudes]

Cool dude, offer's there, and we can probably sort getting her up there to you if you decide to go with The Pamela!

[rcpboy]

cool; actually keen; - the GL is in bits; and is a stock bike - so it could be an absolute 'mare. will talk with bike tranz tomorrow re costs to auckland; what does the front wheel need doing?

[Trudes]

Need to change the tyre to a different rim and make a mount for the caliper, not a huge job, got all the bits to do it, just haven't had the time.
Either bike transit or some kind KBers with spare van/trailer space going between Welly and Auckland. In fact I may know a couple of people doing that trip this weekend.....
(sorry for taking over your thread Skunk, just get Nasty to bin all this when we're done if you like!)

:and all that:

We now have PM ability, so feel free to dump my sales pitch now if you like!!

[Mrs Headroom]

It does seem reasonable, but I would guess you'd have to spend twice that to get the thing to a point where you'd be happy riding it. You can always buy mine.

Hi Trudes, Is your bike still for sale? Can you send me a pm and advise price as I am too new to send you a pm
Cheers

Doing a bit of work on the AX1R to make it more rideable with a better spread of power etc. Been seriously looking at ways to get more gears in the thing.

What are the rules regarding, say YZ gearbox internals in an AX100 case? Would that be 'legal'?

YZ I would have thought would be a motor cross bike (forgive if I am wrong not the best with puddle jumpers model codes and such)

If it is then No. I qoute,

.....Motocross, Road Racing, Enduro and Go Kart motors and transmission parts are not permitted......

Now that sounds interesting!.
But you have spare barrels. Start again? Set it up to give it a better spread of power (obviously losing out on top end).
Then again even with a good spread of power, the AX's gearbox still suck shit.

Cheers mate, I knew someone would look it up for me Gave me more time with the tuning aspect.

I think its only Illegal if sombody protests and you get caught. could always just get a better motor and start again

Does Wellington Massif buckets run under MNZ rules?
