    Yeh seen alot of MBK and Aerox builds that are insane them mopboyz on youtube seem to like all the stage 6 kit and do a nice overrange kit but have to cut out the casings to fit. wish I had the funds to do it all top spec but it would be well to fast and a wheelie machine haha one way to teach her to tame a bike I suppose shame aint no land to razz round on like the 80s. Did look up a lot of Vespa stuff only been on one once and always wanted one did see that theres a place now fitting electric kits to them and selling for silly money might be fun for a while but nothing beats petrol for me even if it does 0-60 in half a second lol.

    Did look at the LC kits might go for one in the future carb already has the fittings and not sure what barrel n piston to try just want it to run right now as the Mrs takes her on the back to private land to practice and the silly thing only does 10mph up hill no matter what the weight load is.

    Still can't think what forks I put on the Typhoon that was a fun bike used to nuke Scoobies off the line up till 60 and topped out around 85 just hope theres similar forks I can put on this Yammy as i'm sure they all probly share same parts either that or JB weld the pitting just another job I cba with right now and seals are still okish.

    Hope the old man has fun with his Scoots have a great weekend bro i'll update here soon as I get that new motor.

    Bud, no offence meant but just search ‘aftermarket dtr125 kickstart’ in the web. No idea what you like or would suit your bike…

    Unless you have some pics 🙂 …

    @SpookDog
    Usually 2-3 days plus customs, and maybe another 2-3 days depending on the carrier and if it’s a Friday when it lands. I’ve been tracking my bit of Japanese exotica for the past week and waiting for customs clearance, not like an impatient parent at all 😂

    I remember reading an article in superbike magazine about oils in the uk some years back and basically they said most of the oils sold in the uk are manufactured and refined in the same place, by the same company that owns or trades under the Fuchs Silkoline banner. I know not all oils are the same and it’s down to cost and personal choice. But I still love the smell of Castrol R and Shell advance Karting oil comes a close second. 🤣

    @UngeMan Also worth getting some Bark Busters or similar wraparound handguards as they protect levers/master cylinders as well.

    @Calum said in 200cc crankcase conversion:

    @Stevie-Wonder Pretty sure he documented it all on this website...

    Ye I know @Calum I’ve re-reading it but all the photos are now gone 😞

    @Challenger I’ve got a v force blaster 200 Reed cage that should help right ?

    And thanks @scrimsmustang! If I’d been known it was simple earlier I think I’d have already done it 😂

    Excusing the powervalve blade itself do you need the WR’s Servo motor, pulleys and housing etc

    And I presume you need either a 200cdi or a Zeely/Ignitech programmable ignition too

    No you can use a 125 servo and a 125 CDI with no problems at all

    @hotshot-iii My current bike is in the house, but I own my place. And it's because I have ran out of garage space!

    @calum I only found out myself a couple of years ago and they are very subtle differences. Most people wouldn't even notice. I only know because I read it somewhere.
