Bought this off a fellow QCR member who got it off trademe, seller stated the kickstart was 'faulty'...
Cracked engine open to inspect:
Gearbox naffed:
Sourced a cheap unknown condition donor bottom end for $20, and checked out what I had bought:
Has mint 3 speed gearbox:
Assembled motor with new gearbox, new gaskets, honed barrel and new OEM rings:
Motor, exhaust, carb (cleaned and unseized), side stand and pegs fitted:
Bike had no chain, used 427carguys unwanted ST70 chain:
Bike ready to ride, no tailight, no indicators, no rego, no worries:
Bike does 40mph all day everyday, pulls hard, gearbox is mint, poor exhaust repair in past has blown apart to open pipe.
Future plans are triple clamps for handlebar change, straighten bent front forks, new seat, rowdy exhaust, rear swingarm change, rear shocks/spring change.
Have scored an epic deal on some new Metzeler 120/90/10 and 130/90/10 tyres:
