I had one of those ali aux fuel cans which I borrowed so won’t have it this time. I can cover about 200kms with no gas stops though - not sure how long day 2 & 3 are -

Righto just got my A into G, paid for parking & Entry. I also have booked accommodation for the Thursday night in Hanmer and the Saturday in Nelson with 1 spare bed on both of those nights if anyone would like to chip in on that too. Time to get my scooter ready - it still has Te Urewera Dirt on it haha. Oh, Also is there room in Support wag for a 4ish Litre jerry for spare fuel? -

Is there a cap on numbers? -
Haven't achieved a whole lot on this thing yet, took the engine out and inspected the insides, appears the piston had been getting a little friendly with the head on the intake side (my guess is that since it's chinga gear the casting may not be perfect) so just cleaned up the piston a little so hopefully should clear now. Cleaned it up a little while it was on the bench, came up pretty well for a small amount of work. Also ran my multi meter over a couple of bits as per the manual and the Rectifier is toast, and appears the front brake switch isn't working either. It seems that the right hand switch block/lever may not be the original one either.

I'll be driving to Hanmer from Renwick with a ute if that's any use -
Hey guys, decided to make a thread for this bike, built an entire 140 powered FR and neglected to make one so thought I had better make one for this. Bought of marketplace at a decent price as a ‘ran when parked’ type scenario. Everything was there and it actually ran after a carb clean and unblocking the pilot jet. Here it is in all its crusty glory (along with the FR) plan is to get it all legal then drop an XR200 donk in it eventually. I have also discovered it has cam journal wear so the cam has play in the head, so will need to do some kind of roller bearing mod to remedy that. Other points to fix are that it exploded every light bulb installed, it has an un sightly Chinese barrel on it, and the clutch slips.

Looks like I was optimistic about my first plan to have an entire bike built in time so looks like I’m riding an FR ‘50’ -

Chunky_t replied to RUNAMUCK's topic in South Island Region
And another thought - we should ride the queen charlotte road on the way to pelorus before the mangatapu track, could do Blenhiem>picton (bit of 100km/h but not all the way) then do Picton>havelock via the queen charlotte. -

Chunky_t replied to RUNAMUCK's topic in South Island Region
In further developments, they’ve changed the speed limit from Blenhiem all the way to Nelson (I think) to 80km/h which makes the open road stretch to pelorus better for small cc bikes -

That's not bad, my panniers are probably way over that, but also includes 1L of spare oil and a 750ml drink bottle. Never done the ride so I'm probably taking too much lol.
