    It's been a busy day on the TZR145.
    I've got the motor in, the TZR tank leaks, so the GL tank was pressed into service for testing. Still needs an exhaust, I'm thinking a CR125 muffler on it's side under the motor (mass centralistation and all that). Motor runs, bit boggy. I'll worry about tuning it after the exhaust is done.
    Tailpiece needs a bracket made. I'll need to put a liner on the TZR tank.

    Once that's done there is the 101 small bits to make it more bucket like:

    numbers, slicks, nylon, cut off unused brackets etc etc.

    Sorry dude, using a 2 stroke pipe won't make it any less diesel like.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    By my calculations, 2 stroke pipe, 2 stroke frame and 4 stroke motor works out to closer to three strokes.

    Cycleworks are going to make me a new header for the exhaust and I'll need a POR15 kit or something like it for the tank.

    The front brake calipers are leaking from between the halves, I'm guessing new a o-ring should sort that out.

    Where can I buy new bleed nipples from?

    Bike shop. I have bought odd ball ones from BNT before for my Hebo callipers, not sure if they will carry small enough ones for bikes. o-ring between halves is usually a specific square section seal.

    Short and sweet

    Well the GL propensity for dropping valves got me at the buckets today.
    The GL had a big stumble off idle, but one that cleared up by the time the revs rose to where the power is at.

    Still 2 x 10min practice and one 10 lap race and the clackity-clackity broken valve of doom noise begins...

    Until then, I liked it. Mounting the tailpiece on 100mm risers gives me much more leg room. Brakes and suspension that work, I'm liking that.

    Just need to buy a Loncin 150cc...

    Bugger. Know how you feel.

    I wondered why you had packed up early... Brain was in race mode so I didn't ask.

    Good news (kind of)

    The valves are ok.

    The nasty noise was the cam sprocket trying to jump off the cam after the bolts unscrewed themselves...

    The cam timing remained intact because the cover between the points a nd the sprocket toook a bashing. The bolt holes are flogged out so I'll need to tap the bolt holes to a larger size before I can reuse the old cam.
    I've put another not-so-nice cam in for the time being.

    That's great news compared what a dropped valve can do eh!

    Yep, I was pleased. Well, kind of, cause I should have made sure the bolts were tight in the first place. They were on the list of things to remember to do when I built it up. Of course the 9 month delay in the project combined with my quality memory...
