Remember The motor has never been apart and here's what I found. After a quick trip to Atomik I had a brand new oil pump and after pulling off the clutch case and removing the old pump I discovered: - There should have been 2 dowells between the pump and case. There was only one. - The gasket...

Tomorrow I head to Broadford Raceway for a weekend of riding my 68 Honda fitted with a yx160. After running the bike to warm her up for an oil change I noticed that the oil cooler was still cold. I have disconected both lines from the cooler AND the oil line at the head and am getting no oil...

If anyone is interested here is the new fridge. I changed plans and put the beer into a 50L keg and have plumbed the fridge to take another 20L keg of cider. After a couple of sessions I've got it sorted and it now pours beautifully. The signs are held on with magnets so the look can be changed...

Perfect timing Stoozo, a coupe of months ago I was diagnosed with coeliac disease. This means I can't tolerate gluten and gluten is in EVERYTHING GOOD including BEER! Now you can buy gluten free beer but the cost is about $70 a carton. Way to much for someone who enjoys beer as much as me, so I...

I bought two Kogan action cameras for my race bike and they are crap. BOTH have similar problems in that they either wont start or they switch off as soon as you start to move and they constantly have flat batteries. Kogan are no help. I also bought two Kogan metal detectors for work and they...

Not sure of the top speed timeeh but it could do with some more, but then again passing big $$$ sports bikes over and over through the corners only to have them come past on the straights is a blast. Big bore kit and head? MMM I did get some other sessions but for some reason the footage came...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9dPylRh9dWI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I don't know if this will work but if it does that is me on the "Fat Bastard Racing" Honda #94. I'm in it a bit at the start. The other postie he shows is my team mate and Mr...

What a cracker, who was having more fun, you overtaking 1/2 a dozen bikes on one lap through the twisties or those same guys taking you back down the straight. Some very expensive machinery getting shown up by a Chinese mini, I love it. There is some stuff on youtube of me playing with some big...

Interesting story, the idea to build the postie (actually a 68 step thru) came to me where most of the best ideas come from, while I was drinking in the shed. When I first entered it in a historic event I was told it was ineligible because of the changed engine. The YX 160 is a replica of a...

And here was me thinking I'm the only one to get something from China that doesn't work!

That is the postie timeeh, it has just gone through some more mods getting ready for the Broadford Bike Bonanza. I changed the wiring again as suggested by myxr and it worked but made no difference. I haven't ridden the bike yet but just giving it a bit of a rev the tacho isn't exactly smooth or...

Thanks for your help guys, the wiring suggestion from my67xr worked a treat. The tacho reads at twice the actual revs despite the ad saying it fits all bikes there is no switch to change it to 1 cylinder. I don't think there is anything I can do about it, any clues? Really though it doesn't...

Thanks timeeh, I have read that thread. How would you connect it to the plug lead? I have tried winding the pick up wire around the plug lead half a dozen times, again, bugger all. I've been looking all over the internet for answers and I can't find any explanations that use the same colour...

I hope I'm not wasting anyone's time here but I've used the search and I cant find any imfo on wiring a tacho to a yx160. The story so far, I bought a cheap tacho from China. $12.47 with free postage and the quality seems really good except for the minor problem of it not working. There are 3...
