Haha been there with the old oven trick lol. Putting in main crank bearings lol

Looks tidy man. Must be quite the joy to ride.

Nice find? What bike did they come off originally?

Full nut and bolt rebuild haha. Looks like it's going well. Would it not be beneficial to grab a new set of pistons from wossner or the equivalent? Looks like a lot of elbox grease here for sure!

That frame is lovely. I'm waiting till I buy a car till I strip mine down to the frame. But it IS something that WILL/MUST be done. Unfortunately my bike has rusted a bit so it'll last the summer then down to the frame in the winter and i'll drive a car.

Jezz tell me about it haha. It's almost been a year...

Cheers lads. It's an expensive hobby but am getting really close to finishing that TZR engine. Can't wait to run it in and open her up fully. I'm not expecting power like my YZ or my RS just interested in seeing what those TZR's can actually achieve. There's a lot of nonesense out there and want to know for myself. Will be and have been doing test videos for comparisons.

Still no Zeeltronic. It was faulty so had to send it back. But sorted exhaut out now should sound better, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD8uN6ADdb4&feature=youtu.be

Aww wow. Those crankcases look really good. Almost wish I did the same to mine when I stripped them down I sanded them down as much as I could then sprayed the rest. But I'd rather have done your method. Looking good.

You and me both. I've never done it before nor do i have much prior experience with this sort of thing.

Bottom end is complete! http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p488/calum122/DT125/DT125%20Project%20Thread/B93B1F88-DA70-48CC-B021-87B7479C4F9E_zpsz4dnfnbm.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p488/calum122/DT125/DT125%20Project%20Thread/80BCF6E1-B5CA-4C72-9DC1-883AE3DE7FA8_zpsac716mw0.jpg

Aww lovely. Definitely want some more photos of the RD itself. Be keeping an eye on this one

Yeah I was going to suggest pouring a small amout of rust treatment. On my pipes I just give them a good WD and wipedown after ever use. Nothing much just bought a special microfibre cloth that I only use for that pipe. It's now caked in oil so I just wipe the pipe with it after use and it keeps it clean and protected. I hear ACF50 is good for this.

It's hard to think such a small difference would make a difference. Be interested to see whether it does or not....

That's good. My project has cost me more and parts are more widely available.

Verniers are a dime a dozen. So long as you don't mind compensating the accuracy a little

My engine it pretty much rebuilt now. Just waiting for some porting work done to the cylinder and then this bad boi will be going in. Haven't heard anything for a long time NEV. Give us a little shout to let us know you're still alive and kicking?

Bloody hell. That looks OLDSKWL! Interesting project. I take it parts for these are solid to find?

My DT still has its original battery and has been left for months without starting. That's fine so unless you've got a cheap battery it should be fine.

Haha! Yeah that wouldn't be the first that had happened to me either! I had that on my Aprilia rs50. Overtaken by a pushbike lmao!

Just a little video of the bike BEFORE I fit the Zeeltronic. So you get an idea of how slow it is.

This will probably be the last post I make on this this yeah. Awaiting parts now. New tab washers. New clutch and springs. Carbon reeds. All of which i'd expect in the new year. I've also dropped my old cylinder off at skellerns yamaha for a hone and new piston. No need for rebore which is good bstill original bore too! 20k miles So here's the last of it. Been assembling the primary drive gears and clutch assembly. Also added the kickstart to the tzr. Enjoy. This took me a while to figure out. Just persistence in the end got me there. Be interested to see whether this works or not.
