Guest Fliboi Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 i could follow him home one day. work would be alot more pleasant without the decrepid old fuck i also bought new sprokets and chain, since mine are pretty toast and needed the gearing returned to factory anyway. coming from the UK but should make it ALOT nice to cruise on. just hoping acceleration doesnt suffer too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fliboi Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 took this out on another big QCR ride today, for the most part it ran great. though when it came to some hills it really slugged right down and got pretty smokey, and after all that was a bit harder to start. im thinking it needs some form of seat replaced, either valve stem seal or pistion/rings. thoughts? it was very slow uphill, when it should fly being a 5 speed, AND having it geared down way too low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anglia4 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 im thinking it needs some form of seat replaced, either valve stem seal or pistion/rings. thoughts? picking you mean valve seat? as far as my limited knowledge goes, valve stem seals would make it smokey but not let the compressions escape. (although it might help fouling your plugs and hence making it hard to start) Start with a leak down test maybe? let you know the state of the rings/valves & seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fliboi Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 i meant seal, surely somthing is letting the oil in to burn, ive got a compression tester so ill start with that and see what happens, though i dont really know how to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rookie Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Valve stem seals will make it smoke on the overrun, not when under load. I would go with rings, Maybe you could make it a cb60 or even a cb75? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Truenotch Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Yeah, sounds like rings. I'm sure a refresh wouldn't go amiss and an extra 10cc makes a huge difference if you can find the right piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fliboi Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 yup ive seen those, just trying to decide if i want to go down the overbore road, or maybe just build the 50cc into a mint engine and one day bolt in a cb125 engine, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fliboi Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 had this turn up today cost about $70 shipped to my door from the UK in under a week, from a shop called Worlds End Motorcycles www.wemoto.com/ Cant rave about them enough, amazing experience dealing with them. the stock sproket kit has totally changed the bike, no loss of acceleration, possibly gained accel actually, because i can now hold 1st gear for much longer. 50kmh - 7000rpm 65kmh - 8500rpm redline at 115000 Awesome. also my rear tire that matchs the front turned up, looking foward to the morning commute to work tomorow where i wont be bombing moorhouse ave at 10,500rpm!

Guest KIRK Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 just wondering if you've investigated pricing for these parts at your local bike shops? last time I bought sprockets for a little Honda it was less than $70. always good to shop local when you can 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Born Loser Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 In my experience in every bike shop in christchurch they are fucking useless! Never interested in making time for old bike parts. Its just not worth the hassle anymore. I buy strictly online now. Even getting tires fitted. Oh no we refuse to fit those tires to those rims. its unsafe. Old boys hate what we do to bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rookie Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 That is a stink buzz dude, up here I'm on first name basis with the Local Honda parts guy, I get everything through him, gives me a hearty discount too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vintage Grumble Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Theres nothing better than a good parts guy. All the parts guys in the chang are shit, if its more than 10 years old, or a road bike, they dont give a fuck, they only care about new MX bikes here.

Guest Fliboi Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The only sprocket I could get was the wrong tooth count pricey anyway. That said. I just ordered some awesome drag bars and old style grips from budget motorcycle spares for less than 50 bucks. Speaking of tires. My mate had to sign an actual waiver releasing them of liability should he die, to get a fat tire put on his Honda cub rim at casbolts Honda.
