After some contemplation about fixing the head gasket weeing oil problem I have come up with the solution: 

I had planned to put this in later but why not now? Lol. 

It's actually an XL185 engine with an xr top end, but with something weird like a ctx200 piston I think. So needs a little love but nothing major. 

No never got around to it - it had been making a clattering sound under load when riding it which i thought was related to the cam, but I tore the top end down for a look and the piston casting sucks and was touching the head in one little section. Filed the piston to fix that up. 

I also fired it up for the first time in probably 18 months after getting the new tank on and now it pisses oil from the head gasket around one of the studs. Runs good, and sounds great for a little donk. Just running a total loss oil system now, apparently. 

Wrapped the side covers to match the tank. Job tidy jim 

Oh and upgraded to the world's highest performing tyre; the ppsc control tyre - the shinko 241, naturally.

I drove out there on Tuesday, looks to be alot of grey area to go pesting on at the end lol

also in addition to that, lots of pylon tracks not far after okiwi bay for some added spice

Currently cruising the French Pass road and taking some short cuts which are turning into the long way round (been a while since I rode my dirt bikes through here and they didn’t have pannier bags), but you guys are going to love the roads out here. When I figure out how to downsize the photos I’ll post them.

What you say buddy!? Can you bring up the skeleton of a Suzuki GP100 for me from Nelson? Can get the dude to disassemble so it doesn't take up that much space.

I'm not attending the ride this year sorry mate!

That trail was the most challanging part of last years ride.  

It's in worse condition now, shitloads of rocks everywhere on the pelorus side. Think of all the loose shit at the top of mt patriarch, a hint worse then pair that with what the trail was like last year. 

Nelson side is pretty grouse though, had lots of fun on that on the drz. helps when your front wheel isn't about to fall off and you have brakes that work hah

Went for a burn over the maungatapu track today, it’s less small bike friendly than it was the first time, very very rocky on the pelorus side. Would be all good on a CT90/110/125 but probably not on a step through lol.

Yeah, very worried that covid is gonna stuff this up. Fingers crossed!

I’m really hoping it doesn’t but it is possible, I’m coming all the way from the South Island for this one!

Tis a sad day, just saw some blokes post on fb that the ol tini tavern is no longer trading, no half ass burgers and lion browns by the 710ml bottle for lunch this year. RIP

That may hamper my efforts to have it running again until I can buy parts. But at least I can press on with the re-wire.

 

I had this exact problem on an AG100 and the timing went 180 degrees out haha.

easy fix though most engineering places have those woodruff keys in varying sizes

i think by march it will be all G for spreading small bike foam

cape might be touch and go, east coast might even put roadblocks up for non locals, cant imagine theres a high rate of vax there

Well I bloody hope not lol, booked me ferry and everything for that one already 

I probably won’t make it next year, I did have a Cb125 lined up for it but alas other things are happening around that time.

Could do some local reccys beforehand though, I’ll probably be hitting the mangatapu on the dog rooter over summer so can see what things are like. May have changed a little since the last ride with all the rainfall we’ve had. 

I reckon run it in the same order eh, RIP me though cause I won't be there next year

Tank is from a 70's? Honda CB100. 

1971-1973 era CB100/125 tank even. They changed the badges for the 73 models onward

https://www.trademe.co.nz/3142925315 @Chunky_t could do with a twin. 

I’m very late at replying to this but that is expensive for that. Mine was nearly 2k cheaper haha. 

This thing is a bit more in the spirit of things, goldenboi equipped already

inb4 ride a fa50 to nats. Nats is dead anyway. And that was 4 years ago michael let it go. 

A drz250 sounds like exactly what you describe there jim 

Well, I’m not so chipper on the idea of riding a scooter from Blenheim to whakatane so that’s my excuse. 

Here’s my ride this year, big bird the garish yellow motorcycle 

@RUNAMUCK yeah I was going to do a ferry mission with me bike on the back then meet up with the palmy doodz and go from there
