August 24, 201511 yr Took my bike appart today for some much needed maintance which has been too long on the list now. I will put in new crankbearings, new clutch basket and crankgear, new idler and kickstartgear, and give the rest a good cleanup! Repair the exhaust (minor leak near rearbrake mounting point), weld the frame (underneath the radiator is a small ''bridge'' which always brakes). Probably put in the new type waterpump. Notice the piston rings which are carbonised stuck into the piston! and probably more! Edited August 24, 201511 yr by crazybond700
August 24, 201511 yr Ahaaa! The first signs of KTM parts (of course disguised as an S3 part) on a Gas Gas engine in the top picture!

Had a cuppa then pulled the clutch pack out of my wife's pro 125 needs new plates should arrive this week from mate Peter B them its time for a spin on them.
August 26, 201511 yr Just stripped and cleaned carb thoroughly having had it keep stalling when I took it away. Now just waiting for my new fan rectifier to come and then ride it knowing it is cooling properly...hopefully.
November 14, 201510 yr Well as I mentioned elsewhere I rode my newly acquired Gas Gas 125 (2012) today. My son was getting fed up with hanging around to kick start my old 1980s Montesa. At age 82 next birthday it was getting to heavy for me anyway ! The old legs give out more easily nowadays which makes me wonder how I coped with my BSA rigid 350 B32 Oh silly me that was 60 years ago !!
November 25, 201510 yr Almost finished my engine work some teasers The gearbox bearing was stuck, so took some effort to get out! Hopefully it will be going for some years more now! Edited November 25, 201510 yr by crazybond700
November 27, 201510 yr Fed up with awkward oil fill (not really that awkward but anyway) total oil charge can be held in the funnel so nice and easy now! Edited November 27, 201510 yr by jfc
