xsinclairx Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Forgot to mention that was off the tc125. The ali route might be a go I think. But if tf125 forks are the same I should be sweet. After I ran out of things to do on the tc I took the clutch cover off the gsx750 to discover that the fuel that didn’t overflow on to the drive way made its way into the engine It never ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsinclairx Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 And an inside shot of the fork. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Having 3 project bikes is painful. Air box turned up for the TC. It’s a bit tatty but at least now I have one. Like most old bikes heaps of shit needs to be bolted to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 As you can see it needs a sand blast and paint. One of the mounting tabs has been puncture and fs with the foam. Not sure what I’ll do with that. Organising some tf125 forks to replace the screwed ones as well. I still have to check out the clutch and get the carb tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I fixed a Beta clutch basket that had broken one of those clutch spring spigots, made a new one from alloy bar and got it welded back in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Not a bad idea. I’m getting a nos one out of Greece for about 50nzd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Nos goodness. About $51 landed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Bikes back together and seems to run well. Ive moves onto cosmetics with my main goal to get the colour changed from tarp blue to white. Also working on the dash. My current one is screwed. Should I stay oem or go aftermarket? Previous owner just threw bog at everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 The PO also created the fairing security stay which consists of bolts through fairing copper tabs and plug chain and a re usable cable tie to attach to frame. Oh and bog. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this bike is too far gone to get it back to a nice condition so i'm just going to make it reliable and thrash the tits off it haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I took the day off work and had a me day Repainted the new exhaust because it was starting to look a bit surface rusty. Pulled the front wheel to go down and get the leak sorted. Ordered a replacement side cover to replace that Barry one $88 later but at least it has all its lugs. “Cured” the exhaust paint by running the bike, sounds great after pulling the clutch and sorting that rattle. Next on the list is to sort out the carbs flooding, I think the floats are getting stuck so it keeps fuel flowing. I think I’ll just replace all the float valves to hopefully sort it out. I was going to buy a pingel tap to replace the original, not sure if I will now. Getting a replacement gauge case and tach from Canada and hopefully if he has a spare light cover to replace the folded sheet metal one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Wasn’t kidding when I said I’m pretty sure the PO painted everything black with a brush. Those are fork cap rubbers 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 I done some work on the carbs today. Have them a good clean for starters Replacing float valves. The new ones are viton tipped and a bit different in shape. Not a huge fan. Probably should have gone oem. I’m going to replace the fuel tap again with oem for security and I’ll order a new fuel cap to. Remind me again never to buy another old bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 You can actually see and feel the wear on the tip. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Boring update. Of course the last screw had to be difficult and round out. But sorted it out. I fitted an aftermarket fuel tap which I don’t really like. It’s too big for where it goes and just seems cheap. Brand new they’re only $88 or I could rebuild it with oem parts. Mick Hone in aus is awesome for parts. Well priced and the price for everything is listed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Started prep on the side fairings today. The inside of both sides need some repair from cracking. I took off all the big the PO layered on there. I started removing the paint as well. It comes off pretty easy and I can even see the original white in small parts. No real idea what to do with prep and paint. I’ve just been asking lots of questions and watching loads of videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Not entirely sure how far back to take the paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
