I wouldn't use ATF as your clutch will probably already have a tendancy for the plates to stick together when left for more the a couple of weeks and using this oil willmake this worse. I would go for a light gear oil
-
I'd go for second hand wheels, some turn up on Ebay
-
If you have a small capacity 12v charger (or can borrow one) try charging each battery individually. The chargers aren't well made, mine certainly gave up and I know of others. Don't have to buy one from Oset though there are alternatives about.
-
Mine was gutless and I was a schoolboy then. It looks the wheels are already 18/21 as mine was
-
use the hubs from the K10/11 80cc Suzuki. I only have experience of using super six pistons, I think the GT250 ones are slightly shorter and may mess with the porting
-
I've done a couple of tanks which had gone thin and slightly holey using a sealent, can't remember the name - got it from Wyldes in Leeds
-
Cheers, did think it would stall easily
-
Join the optimised fantic part of facebook as they come up on there from time to time, the 125 one fits. Looks a really nice bike
-
the red one is knackered and the blue one is newer
-
Shame there is no video, would be nice to hear it running
-
Fairly sure this is normal, the points are 'earthing' through the condenser. I seem to remember on the 123 I had many years ago disconnecting the condenser to check the timing using on of those buzzer devices.
-
Is there anywhere in the UK to get OKO's from?
-
Sorry no, I had one for the kids and it was a good bike. A tip I was given is not to turn off the fuel tap as it's quite badly made and sometimes it rips itself out of the tank. i only ever put a small amount of fuel in and ran it out or drained the carb
-
Are the forks you are looking for the ones with quite short bottoms?
-
I'm sure there are others, but a firm near to Nottingham called SEP have a large press and some tooling with which they can squeeze the crank and lobe it such that the bearing grips and remains concentric. They have done a couple for me over the years
-
I like to run the carb dry before putting the bike on the trailer and blow the tyres up to about 15 PSI too
-
Try Iain at Ellastone offroad, now at Rocester
-
Is this the older model? if so I think I have
-
I've converted a couple of mono's to twinshock with few problems. I used the shortest shocks from NJB which work well
-
It's an extra flywheel weight. A half inch drive socket wrench will fit, if memory serves me it is a left hand thread.
-
I have done this in the past with no issues on similar
-
seals probably.
-
I agree, though I skipped to some later coverage of a guy on a TLR doing presumably some kind of easy route which was like a motorway. What is the penalty for sitting motionless with one foot on the floor?
-
I could have finished 15th

Cheers, series record locked in
