Vintage Grumble Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 There are two members semi interested, one has first dibs, but is waiting the results of a test ride up ohope hill, to give an indiacation of power/speed. Mr Joegoatflange, do you find your one has decent power for a 200? I've only ridden on the flat, but was quite impressed with how it went for its size.

Rookie Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I finally got mine running on two last night, it has no power, this is due to having no spark advance, so if it is REALLY slow check the spark advancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Oh, mines not slow, its just the interested peron is "big boned" like myself, and worried the little bugger wont have enough poke to be usefull/fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Oh, sweet as. Comparing it to another one is probably a pretty good gauge of it's health, carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have never ridden mine. Hah. Bought it with phucked brakes etc. Have almost rebuilt it. But yea, they are meant to have some minearls. 17hp or something. Same as a KLR250. Which has some dort. Sure they're no speed demon. But theyre no gn125 either. Who cares if its not quick. They are a very well proportioned little bike. And would be the perfect accessory to anyones lounge/bedroom. As well as the added ability to go and ride it somewhere then sit back and look at how cool it looks . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 ^yeh. be fast enough around town. My cg125 is the slowest bike I have ever riden not including gn125s and scooters. But its shit a heap of fun. So light. mean as to hit speedbumps on at 90 in top(top speed without a tailwind lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 RITE, well I went for a blast on this a few weeks ago, and it started running a bit funny and then gave up soon after, turns out a carb mount had given up. It now has a new carb mount/condenser/plugs, and seems to be running pretty well, revs out to red line quite smoothly now. It sat on a mates back lawn for a few weeks, so a lot of the very light surface rust has brightened up a bit. Its quite fun to blast round on, and sounds mean, but it may be a little under powered if you plan to go on huge long road trips. Its happy to do 100kmh, no probs, but I doubt if it would do much more than 120/30, and at one point I was riding into a strong head wind, and it wouldnt do much more than 90. (i'm near on 6'4 and 110+kgs, so not very aero dynamic) and I havnt spent much time trying to tune it. The exhausts are pretty much rooted (sounds badass tho), the kill switch dont work, the tail light has a bit of a crack in it, and the kick start seal is leaking (i'll likely fix that) annnnnnnnd thats about all that I can think is wrong with it. I really need to move this, as we're trying to upgrade house wise, and need all the dosh we can get, so for bike and 350cc motor $1300. Cheers, VG.

Llama Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Currently talking to interested buyers about selling the MG. If it goes for the right price, I'll pick this up in a flash. Am meeting the guy on the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Chur, sounds good. If it happens, I can trailer it over to TGA if that helps a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Sounds like this is sold, pending payment/collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Mien. Don't expect that much for now, plans are to: -Re-register/wof -Ride I won't be doing any chop/changing on it until I have sold the MG (the desire to have a project bike is strangely motivating to get the MG ship shape), but I might tinker with the 360 engine I also have in the meantime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Oh dear... have just come to the horrible realisation that I own sweet fuck all metric sockets/wrenches Battery has also gone flat, took me 20mins to find the damn thing... such a bike noob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 That there battery should charge up ok, I believe its pretty much brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Battery charged up enough to get it kick started, electric start still just makes a funny noise though. Got it to idle at around 1500rpm warm, rather than dying. Feel it is still running rich however, as the choke kills it pretty quick. Boring stuff as per usual/working on car.

Vintage Grumble Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hmmmmm, I dont know why it insists on running rich, I dropped the needles, maybe they need to go one step lower? I have a feeling the points are poos/causing a weak spark, which could cause the fouling? Points are cheap as piss, slap a new set of them on and see what happens, i've erd they can make a huge difference. Also, Joe/flange/goat has one of these, maybe ask him nicely for hints/tips?

Llama Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I haven't been able to check the plugs as I don't have an 18mm deep socket :\ Will go pick one up today though. And will replace points. Superchump/ripco stock things like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeh, silly honda with its 18mm spark plugs. Repco didnt have them, that fulla "born loser" found some place online that had shit for them super cheap, have a look in his cb350 fred.
