Yoh Bappas you made some awesome progress! I can only wish my Project was already here. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Depending on parts pricing I believe that will be more then R40k. This is why I am also of the opinion to rather let it go and get something else. The big problem with this is as soon as you start stripping you see more damage behind every panel and before you know it you are in deeper then you...

Didn't get the cases together last weekend as I ended up needing some tools. Got it stripped again today to start the assembly from scratch. First need to clean everything again, so it'll take some more time. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I made some progress this weekend. Fitted the new bearings and test fitted the gearbox. Then I managed to fit one half of the crank into the case, when I went in for the second half but it didn't go according to plan, case half and bearing heated up nicely but I guess not enough as it didn't go...

That frame looks great! We'll done on the progress so far. I spent today cleaning my cases and fitted new bearings. Tomorrow I'll fit the gearbox and crank, hopefully... Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Great to see your project, I'm starting my initial assembly this weekend as well! Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Thanks Windhond, I'll be sure to check compatiblity before I buy anything. I don't want to modify the case at all, so I am thinking of putting in some 250x or WR250 gears. Don't know when I'll get to that though. I have been travelling a lot for work the last couple of weeks and the week coming...

Must say Micky really pulled through. I dropped of the conrod this morning and he phoned me this afternoon to tell me it's all ready. All is done, now all I need to do is some more cleaning to get the excess welding off and looking better. I'll have a good look tomorrow but I'm sure I'll need...

After thinking about it more logically I realised the last time the bottom section was put together they probably put the too long bolt in by one of the short bolt holes on the water pump cover. This resulted in the bolt bottoming out and popping off some aluminium case bits into the shared...

Hi Bappas, no I haven't. I was thinking of running the stock gearing for now. Will PM you shortly [emoji1690] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

And the rest of the parts. Still need a few odds and ends but for now it's on to engineering. Will update again when I get the casings back and start building. Super excited to see it coming together like this. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

That's the direction I'm leaning towards, thanks for the advice. I picked up my piston this morning. Nothing quite like getting new parts, it builds the anticipation and excitement to complete the process. I'm still waiting for one shipment to arrive then I'll take all the necessary bits to...

Thanks Mulmi, luckily this isn't my first rodeo haha. My first rebuild attempt was a Honda CB400. I resprayed the frame and the tank and cleaned all the shiny bits up real nice. When it came to the engine I was completely lost but my dad assisted with the assembly. Then he realised the CDI was...

Thanks Volstruis, do you know how the fitment is? I watched a lot of videos where they say the Polisport has the best fitment, and I really want to restyle it to the newer model plastics. Another benefit with the Polisport restyle kit is that you get a new shape air box as well. Sent from my...

Thanks Bappas, will PM you. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

1 - top cleaned case vs bottom dirty one 2 - clutch basket, cover and waterpump I need 3 - wear on the clutch basket 4 - water pump 5 - magnesium clutch cover where the crack is Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Some advice I'm sure you already know, try look for a Alu frame as they have the much sought after SSS Suspension from 2006 and up. Other then that, I hope you find a better example then I did. This bike needed basically everything replaced. Some good news is the guy I'm using for the...

Thank you Macker, I PMed the lady with the spares. I visited Startline today and they do have some of the things I want to replace, will certainly get the stuff from them as they are a lot cheaper then the other bike shops. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Thanks Miks, I did just this and found i have the stock gearing. This specific bike has so many problems that need to be repaired/replaced I don't think I'll get to put WR gears in. Thanks a lot, I'll pop you a PM for the plastics. I am looking at putting on a Polisport restyle kit at a later...

So I picked up this beat up old boy last weekend. Stripped it all out this weekend and will be trying to build it into some sort of enduro machine. Bought it as a non runner, opened the top to see the piston broke a piece off, which then promptly found its way into the bottom section and...
