      She's home now. Better condition than I expected.

      Runs sweet and it's all there.

      See the progress as it goes..

        @Louis-James said in DT200wr finally got one:

        Where did you get her from?

        Did you not inspect the bike before buying her?

        Looks pretty good overall, some work needed but no used bike is without their faults these days. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

          @NINJA thanks, from Andover about 40miles away.. no they delivered it. With any vehicle sold on eBay, you can reject it if not as described.. in this case it was a lot better condition than I was hoping. Very original underneath...no butchered wiring either, tank it excellent condition.
          Even both sets of wheels are mint. Just need cleaning.

                  @oldman you've got enough bikes already haha. Very good price this was.

                  If anyone has any spares let me know, the oil pump works and is in mint condition but I need the 2t tank and level sensor.

                              Nice bike.
                              That was a fast disassembly.
                              I'll be watching this thread.....

                              I need my tools and a pile of junk.....

                                Thanks. Took about 5 hrs with some cleaning in the process.. always careful to not round any bolts

                                  The trick to make any project look good is attention to detail... including deep cleaning.

                                  See how well these 25year old parts come up.

                                  Here's the engine.. I am not painting the crankcases as they were bare from the factory,but I'll give a light polish before installing to frame.

                                  Took ages to clean it to this standard.. especially around the sprocket, exhaust manifold and underneath..

                                  I also sourced a 125re 2t bottle which I will use as I cannot find the original one.. the level sensor connector is the same, so hoping that will work. Also the oil pump is in good condition and the carburettor has the oil intake fitting. I will use clear hoses as always.

                                  The side stand switch is missing but I have found the wires for it.. so I will fix this.

                                    Radiators are in such good condition.. but these bikes do not have any braces to protect them unlike the 125

                                      A decent camera probably doesn't hurt neither πŸ˜›

                                      With regards to the RE Oil Sender, uhh it's just a switch. It's either on or off, so shouldn't be hard to get working.

                                        A decent camera probably doesn't hurt neither πŸ˜›

                                        With regards to the RE Oil Sender, uhh it's just a switch. It's either on or off, so shouldn't be hard to get working.

                                          This bearing was damaged so pressed it out.. just trying to source a new one

                                          Also cleaned up the fuel tank and wiring loom OCD style.

                                          Probably lost 1kilo of dirt and grease from the bike
