Truenotch Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm sorry? Did I say it wasn't going to cost anything? Probably should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 awesome... I don't have a lot in the way of spares just rim's, tires and most of an engine so let me know if you're needing anything oh and I have a PDF of the owners manual that won't give you any useful advice.

Truenotch Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think it's actually an RM8. Will make a thread when it makes it's way back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 a few updates... no pics... Bike fell over and smashed the fairing... will trace what is remaining of the old one and cut a new one, one day Sheepers extended my stand, so now will not fall over again, and can now 'kickstart' while on stand (looks so much cooler).... thanks again for that... Replaced brake cables with bmx linear cabling for awesome stopping abilities - easily the most noticable upgrade I have done, highly recommended for any light 2 wheeler... And got stopped by a motor cycle cop on my way home 'Ummm believe it or not I stopped you for your speed, you were doing 69kph'. Cool guy let me off with a warning though asked about the capacity of the engine (which I rounded down to 50cc)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Speed Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Nice. I'd feel bad giving a ticket to something with pedals I wanted to say 'awesome' when he said he had stopped me for my speed (but didnt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgySam Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It may be once its fixed. Its currently in pieces. Then I need some much needed practice before i attempt a fuel tank. Other than that sure...why not...what could possibly go wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 well it started running very sickly, so stripped engine down for good measure - looks like it might have been caused by loose exhaust.... anyway decided to try out my new torque wrench when reassembling, and promptly snapped a stud off in the case... turns out you can't easily get m7 helicoils, not a big problem theres heaps of meat so opened every thing up to accommodate m8 studs... reassemble again with torque wrench and pull threads out of case (probably my inaccurate drilling...) so now everything is heli-coiled m8 and I have assembled by feel rather than by the book, and she runs happily again... runs happily again now (and I love testing my 2 strokes running up and down Parnell rise (I live near the bottom of it, I don't ride across town just to annoy people)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
