Turning an AX100 into a bucket

[Skunk]

Does Wellington Massif buckets run under MNZ rules?

Yep, we do. We tend to run A and B grade rather than F4 and F5 and it's split on rider speed. What classes are you guys running this year? Proddie and Super?

[Yow Ling]

I think thats it, I leave the squabbling to the experts. I think the split seems to get a similar result. I think this year we wernt having all the sub classes womens, special needs, pensioner class etc, but the power has shifted again so its anybodys guess

Well, I found a way to get a six speed box into the AX1R. Sort of.
Pour the contents of a six speed box into an AX100 case. This isn't useable, but it doesn't seem to fit any other way.

What 'boxes have you looked at?

[Skunk]

The issue is the internal width of the AX100 gearbox. The gear shafts from a five or six speed are just too long. Some motorcross stuff looks like it will fit (such as YZ125) but that's not legal.

I (OK, Skunkworks Chief Mechanic) found that the TF output shaft is the right diameter and various bits will go in but it's 20-30mm too long. He also found that the old engine had a stuffed clutch basket.

But I have a plan that might work I think... we'll find out next meeting, if I get it together in time. Otherwise it'll be the old AX100 again.

Cool, can't wait to see what you come up with!

Could you trim a gearbox down a bit, and possibly make it fit?

Yep. It'll only be a four speed but it'll fit then.

[Skunk]

I need help.

Yes, you knew that. But anyway, what does a TF125 ignition system look like (flywheel and stator), where is the timing mark and do you have the part numbers?

I have a box of bits that may, or may not, be the right bits (yay for TradeMe!)

I'm goin thru the same thing. My gp shares strong similarities with other engines but I havn't come up with any thing that is workable yet .

What no pensioner class, where am I going to fit in then??? Ooooo ok special needs will do.

WOoooo ok special needs will do.

Hey, that's my spot!

I've done a little tinker on the forks.
I took it to the Motormart day with Robert Taylor and he suggested a couple of things. I've done one - to the forks. The other is the adjust the swingarm length - which I haven't had time for.

The bleed hole in the damper rod is now only 1.5mm in diameter. This is to improve the rebound control.

The swingarm he suggested I lengthen to increase feel from the front end. Either that or cut the frame to adjust the steering head angle. I haven't decided which to do yet.
