good work chris and KK. the guy you bought it off works for tony rees and was telling me about you buying it. all he could tell me was hes got a goatie. well chop me off at the knees and call me tripod do you think i could figure it out.
any way good work.
Kiwi back at home!

Meh
Scraping eh?
Not me bro. Don't go in for any of this leaning business, too scary, bolt upright me, all the way

Ah yeah but the rear shock was rooted and the amount of slop in the shock linkage system had to be seen to be believed
The owner did one lap on it and said it was quite possibly the worst bike he had ever ridden.

Reaaaaallllyyy? dig more if you please
or just remember the name etc, its a really small world it is and the more contacts we make with the bike the better... but this is very interesting... i know the guy (not personally) but thru connections too.. and infact its all piecing together now... hmm.
kool! well yeah all is well and here we go chris is coming over now for yet another evenings work on his beast (now we got levels, fluids, stff like that!)
Come warm yourself by the fire

cheers bruno! sounds like we really need your help.
a rather big lack of luck this eveing with both finding out the clutch cable has shat itself (no sweat chris will have one home by tomorrow) and that we may not have drained the gearbox oil fully (and already put half of the expensive stuff in!) but bruno said most 2 smokes chris only carry 400-600ml... our engine casing says 1000 cubic cc's
so who knows?! argh. anyways will work all this out
and can someone tell us if 14T front 45?T rear sprocket is std size? and/or how many links of the 520 std chain was it meant to have? i can get either 116link or 120 link?

not sure at all but probably not in my hands. with a stroke of good luck(and not a single lie) my insurance has accepted the claim and have decided that the bike is uneconomical to repair (11500gs of damage) so im getting paid out and at this stage its looking like im goin to get a fair price. so we will see whats next.

HI I own two of these bikes(tzr 1KTs) one is for a track bike,I could be well off base here but when I rebuilt my I found that I could not use Pro-X pistons because they are silicon based ,the silicon expands and the pistons pop. will have to wait to I get home to check weather I am right(check me boxes that the pistons came in) Like I say I could be wrong, so dont flame me, will check for me self, but Im sure that I didnt go Pro-X, Regulaters are also no good on this bike, but ya wont need one for track racing as the bike will start and run with out a battery
Forum whore
hey Jamie, good to hear from you mate, all info is much appreciated
But yes im sure you can use ProX pistons as i know they have been used many times in the past
But awesome cheers, and what do you advise re: reg/rec and battery? i mean.. are you saying to remove the flywheel? or keep it there and run your bike literally with no battery plugged in? (they do as we found out tonight! but very uneven without the correct charge being maintained) currently we have a CTX4B-BS battery (small, scooter like, 2.3Ah) and were just going to use that to keep the current smooth.
all advise is much appreciated, anyway im sure 6chris will post pics of tonights efforts... oh yess... there was ALOT of smoke
gee wizzz
Kk --just a quiet reminder -the TZR has an adjustable oil pump that may have been leaned off quite a long way. Also you MUST use a mineral oil to run the motor in or the rings will never bed in.
Basicly fill the oil tank up with mineral oil and run through one full tank of oil then bleed the system and go to synthetic. You can fit after market reeds and wind the oil pump back a long way.
I told chris about making sure that the power valve is polished to a mirror finish and also to be dead sure all the bearing seals on the powervalve are good.
Because its no longer production based racing you can remove the extra baffles in the expansion chambers. You can really easily adjust the jetting too -theyve got adjustable needles.
-look up the specs for the 1984 TZ250 and you can apply all that tuning detail to the TZR
Ohh and i only used SBS brake pads --those bikes were demon brakers with good pads.
