Cheers @HOTSHOT-III. No me neither, but there seems to be some sort of cult following for this specific bike.

That's the saddle and they want £110 USED.

And the single speed frames seem to command decent money on the used market.

This one here is for £600!

Few teething issues just snagging the bike yesterday morning and then went to go ride the bike and came back to a flat tyre. Not sure if it was a defective inner tube as the puncture repair kit just melted the inner tube.

So I've ordered some more inner tubes and if I can be bothered could cycle over to Halfrauds and buy one so I can use it today.

The floating parts of the disc were fouling the bike/caliper so some minor adjustments needed and setting the chain tension etc. But it's basically there. Went around the block and I probably need to drop a few teeth on the front chain ring as I won't be doing any uphill cycling with it as it is. Fast on the flat though 😛

@Calum no worries mate. I would take a cad file if you wouldn’t mind sharing 🙂 will likely send them off to a local machinist. I have a 3d printer as well so could try the cad file on there!

@Calum Sorry to hear about your car bud. +1 for I'd keep hold of those extra clutch cover inserts if I were you, they look ace and are a part that can get rubbed/scratched just from riding so it would be cool to be able to just bung on a fresh one as and when.

Hey,
can someone tell me which springs fit in the wr 200 fork? I ride this bike with Supermoto rims.
So im looking for stiffer springs..
Greetings from Germany

Now that the engine is done, I suppose it's best I return back to the frame. I've contacted another local powdercoaters who are able to do the work for me and it'll be dropped off tomorrow. Fingers crossed they do a pucker job this time.

This is it as of yesterday, it hasn't been touched since I got it back from the coaters.

My garage is also very warm as it houses the gas boiler which means it's toasty in there all year round.

Meanwhile I saw this cheeky swinging arm over in Italy for a measily £50...

Now despite already buying and refurbishing an aluminium swinging arm, at no small expense I might add, I do prefer the styling of this arm. I wanted this arm originally, as this is what you'll find on the MX, however the one on the MX uses a special kind of dog bone which I could not source for love nor money. However this one came fitted with the same dog bones that you'd find on the RX/SX/ETX and claims it came off an RX. So I snagged it.

Dimensions wise it all checks out the same as the one I originally bought, so there should be no issues with spacers, clearances or alignment.

It's a lovely bit of kit and a few minutes on a basic polisher shows how good it can come out.

I'll be sending it away for vapor blasting and new bearings have been ordered.

Question is? To polish or not to polish?

I'm looking forward to getting this bike reassembled and back on the road.

what are the four restrictions?

Small updates, rear sets refurbished and fitted.

Switch gear fitted and cables routed through.

You might have to earth out a wire on the CDI unit on your bike. There are some weird restrictions I don’t know about.
Like my TZR had a black/green stripe wire earthed out on it…

@pedrobatista10 I'm sorry to hear that. BMW550d sounds nice though. At least you're still alive and breathing and it is good to hear from you.

Maybe one day you can get an adapted shifter two stroke kart and enjoy that 😛

@Calum What an excellent use of space, and a first rate job!!

Steel section on the bench and a pillar drill somewhere will finish it off nicely.

Looks like you've got a project on your hands!

@rraleks

Who says it’s running lean? Overheating is caused by different things, lean is one possibility only. Check your radiator coolant level please mate...

No way the crank has a 5.5mm longer throw! It’d of locked solid against the head...

Please check your radiator coolant level!...

I ran my bike well lean for 1000’s of miles without damaging the piston. It was only when my head gasket blew and emptied my radiator that it ran it hot enough to eat the piston, in the same way as yours...

@declan worth a try With the ybr sprocket hopefully works for you buddy

@spookdog yes metal type it seems fine with the rubber gasket but if I can't sort the squishing issue then I'll just go back to paper gaskets

Agreed! Shame because we are all desperate for bits now

@donaldmendez
Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches.
I'm going to ride this one on nice days 🙂
Here's how she stands now.
