    Okay...so some overnight parts from Japan and CMSNL and some others from Australia I've finished the gearbox rebuild..... [image: AP1GczP_uZVbF9qAtBI354lEecnxLNxr8vbpUAQX4_vlIA9Vektt4F5jf-okC8IKzb-OUXzGWAEb2gJNNhOSg1z6rRUYxyeakYQzl0UTbNy3aYgQaNtDnjYHclQfoLdDpXTF0t-MH4SgTQx6iV9iZ-u7SigG=w531-h793-s-no?authuser=0] Brand new genuine output shaft from Japan and a brand new genuine 3rd gear.... This completes the output shaft rebuild. [image: AP1GczP2KpflcDkrYU74DldmqlAwpnyYDh75kN7EZYAAglDFS4Ra4LWnIYcKXa6rnAp7ty7aVOLlYi2L3QSSUmKEKmz4x8877dE6mOLmU2agpdmnqEWHhnnVvKWyfegoR5YeRtRLXxHg_0i344ZpHCKh6_0J=w761-h1311-s-no?authuser=0] New genuine shims, circlips and bearings. [image: AP1GczPryZOZov8DT0-4jUeYt9z_7olcQbjIl_LvQWZucNyTLVWDzE4tiNqYCMewakgXjpUJA4aooJ7ag_6TJJfxkDdR1-7N3matX1AMPOzOpKTtpnvtfxdLqPCUuaQd6eWEpiiW5gXy_nO4xrbnAsFLSqab=w701-h1311-s-no?authuser=0] Fingers cross that's all back together correctly, I'll have to remember to select all gears and test BEFORE firing up the motor, else this will be £8000 down the drain if it destroys the motor. [image: AP1GczMblrL3GSghxv-bdTwebX27Hor_M-mVXqegDXi81nqwtrWInLHT76b7CKw_wZShtJgcg9Pluap6zSiuuBGYc3-Bdq1Hm3uY6S8j9hHd2cRbrALCVLtJmYwStwQvVccRRi3cG9EXhfGkWnRrLev5wda2=w805-h1311-s-no?authuser=0] [image: AP1GczMvMs624VQIz_wN9T46Xyp4hLGD4ohiPk99O3qnBMhR6ThKBKNEpP6JXFj8s31LHogKSYbFf-DjDR--JvFbQuXh4gjMjdbguCwfNIuovLGw5JCMK0RXKyyWVEWeoNHQ0CoDrVWDVHLvk8Qa178nQMFt=w1311-h1311-s-no?authuser=0] And whilst picking the shock spring up from the paints for my ETX, I also picked up the swinging arm for this bike too. [image: AP1GczNkYj3ORIWqQl0xC4kYfaZyJ1ywJV2dfvlihCnch34e7OrCJ1hJIc1Oh9EXyTvIBN8FWkZxZgKaWRp0BakEPsrsPAWWkLHEcPGATSnyyucBAsdvVx3W-xukLygatC3vIlJjx5vrvCrE_pRhpFoyG6KT=w1922-h928-s-no?authuser=0] Should go without saying, all near bearings and a lovely carbon fibre chain guard which I bought about 5 years ago for the Raptor. I'll probably keep the Raptor bone stock and therefore it's not needed for that project and can go onto this beasty. I did have some swinging arm spool spacers machined up but for the life of me I simply cannot find what I done with them. No doubt they'll turn up eventually.

    YAY! What has been, three long years and the bike is finally on its own two wheels again. [image: ILujNIK.jpeg] Trip down to the powdercoaters to pick up the suspension spring as it just didn't feel right to put the crusty one on there. [image: 2aP5114.jpeg] I had it repainted the OEM colour for this bike, but fitted the RX/MX/SX shock absorber. It was refurbished to the best of my abilities. [image: 2QH7PxV.jpeg] Sadly the bike isn't concourse and never will be. [image: 1CoLTaZ.jpeg] But it's starting to come together nicely now! [image: 7k2txzW.jpeg] And at least I can move it around the garage out the way of the other bikes finally! [image: V9jlvnt.jpeg]

    Finally! Actually found some time to go out on this thing! [image: L5TZajj.jpeg] The original gearing I bought for this was a no-go and I ended up chucking it in the bin. Instead, I found a Trail Tech crankset made for an E-bike, had to swap out the bottom bracket, but the result is something which gives me the ability to go up a few teeth on the front (currently rocking 24t), blitzes up moderate inclines, but lacks real top end. [image: faXVi2L.jpeg] I managed my usual route easier than the 26er, both up and down hill. It just felt like it handled the rocky sections better than the 26er, the lower gearing made it easier to climb some of the hills I had to get off and push, overall I'm very pleased about how this one has turned out, hopefully get a lot of use out of this over the coming years.

    @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!

    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.

    @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...

    @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
