Felixx got a monkey.. and went big(ger) block

No video update this week coz its not at home #sadface

I had a moment..

I got it running up and down the driveway and the clutch was not engaging well. I had not wired a kill switch so had to unplug the spark plug to kill it

I then went up and down the street and as the engine was a used, unknown condition marketplace gamble, I was not suprised. and all of a sudden the clutch grabbed in 2nd, wee wheelie, bike was happy, would click thru all 4 gears up and down my street. JOY OF JOYS!!!

I dropped in down a few gears and fizzed up the driveway then went to put it away and pushed it toward the garage.

I had noticed the zorst sounded a bot raspier so tightend up the exhaust stud nuts good and tight and it sounded happier.

I blipped the throttle and that's when shit got real, real fast. 

The little fucker was still in gear! I was holding her by the throttle as it began doing donuts the same diameter as my arm

Im doing priouettes with a 45kg deadweight that's spinning me faster and faster. 

Remember I have no kill switch

To stop it I have to pull the spark plug lead off, while I am spinning at 500 rpm on my lawn, the bike on the end of my good arm, in the dark

At this point my memory went a bit vague but I remember sitting in the garage shaking my head and looking at the bike with an unplugged lead sighing.

Then I reconnected the lead, kicked her into neutral and started her, first kick, phew.

Clicked her into gear, nothing, no movement, nothing 

second, nothing

third, nothing

4th.. you guessed it.. nothing

 

I did what any sane person would do and went inside for the night

FF to Saturday, I dumped the oil, pulled the clutch cover off expecting something to be visibly broken.. 

the wee selector bit was still in its forkey bit

The selector cog thing was rotating when I shifted gears.. 

I made a gasket out of red RTV, glued it together, put the new oil in, none fell out and so I started it.. still no gears

Adjusted the clutch, still no gears

My mate has it now to try and diagnose the fault, but I might have to bite the bullet and drop the 90 and go 125cc, it is a sign from the gods perhaps

[felixx]

Well Mr Dave took it away to look at the gears and well now it has lights

 

[felixx]

I picked up a box from MBike today.

110cc semi auto. Might fit it tomorrow

[felixx]

Well the 90 is now parts

The 110 is fitted 

 

 

[felixx]

I decided to tidy up my electronics...

Part of the inspiration for this build is my Daughter. She is 13 on Syds Run this year.

 

She is Syds great great neice

 

She can do Syds next year.

I rode this whip to school (work) today...

Goddam what a rush!!!

 

 

 

[felixx]

need a 15 or 16 tooth front sprocket for this bike.

16 tooth front sprocket fitted.

Much more ridable

Did a speed run... gps confirmed that it does 79kmh.

I think 80kmh on 8" wheels is good enough

Looks sweet, I bet that feels pretty exciting. Building the NBC110 up to cruise at 100km/h is on the list of this years goals/dreams....

@Willdat?

It is really smooth.  Its deceptive..

Was on a friday night 50s ride and got thru the hilly bits fine.

Brougham st got a mean wobble in the rear end.

Tightened every bolt, not much there, maybe 1/2 turn on swingarm and 1 turn on rear axle

 

It threw the chain and locked up the rear wheel on colombo st

 

Will tear her down tomorrow night

 

Heres me waiting for a man with a van

[felixx]

Turns out one of the wheel bearings was chooched

Pulled both out and put shiny new ones in!

Things appear happier now. Will test it tonight and see.

Syds run is 4 weeks one day away!

 

[felixx]

Well new wheel bearings in then the bolts holding the sprocket on undid. Luckily all was ok and I put studlock on my new bolts.

 

She has been on a couply rides now including Diamond Harbour. The new foam airfilter cost me approx 8kmh compared to the mesh one but thats ok

 

I also put an auxillary fuel bottle on her
