It's been almost three months.
Re-build is starting, slowly. New Stator has been ordered and should arrive next week. Once it's cranking again, I'll order a new chain and think about upgrading the wheel size.
Either way, I'll be looking for a new chain. And I've been advised to step it up and grab a set of decent BMX bars.
That, and I've seen pricing a few second hand full size 125s. Leaning towards the YZ.
Well, having the run of my life on my cousin's course. Really riding really well... then bang, I sway off the track for half a second, run over a piece of fence wire floating around the farm and before you know it, it's caught in the chain and snaps the bloody thing. Awesome.
Was, and still is looking for a larger set of wheels. I could order online, but got turned off after a nasty experience with one of the local mini moto parts sites.
It's up in the air, whether anything else is done to it.
I got the bike, mainly because my cousins and few friends were into riding. I had only ridden a few times in the past, and in the last year or so, I was winging it on my cousin's TTR 250.
The idea was to grab a bike I easily learn...

Went for a ride last night. After a spray down its back in black with a cleaner look. Some of you guys might remember a few bits and pieces got taken care of after the last time I took it out. Runs a lot better. A lot more fun.
Thinking quite a lot about putting a 14" on the front, 12" on the rear.
10inchers are fun and all, but I'd really like a little more clearance and I think I'd feel a lot more comfortable sitting a little higher.

The best it's ever looked, so far. Fix the tensioner, tightened the chain, fixed the sprocket, new brake lever, white plastics back on the rear, etc.
Gave it a decent spray down after a few days of riding.

Just a few pics. Painted up the original white plastics for the rear, I had originally sanded them back a few weeks ago.
New chain roller is sitting at my cousin's place ready to go on. It's just a matter of picking it up.
Haha, I'm an idiot, a rookie mistake I guess.
When the handle bars were quite a bit forward, with the brake and throttle cables flapping around I had taped them together.
Then on deciding I wanted the handle bars closer to the rider, still being taped together, it was basically pulling on...
I live in Mooroopna.
You don't need to join the club apparently. However they have banned Chinese and any clone / knock off bikes. Unless you've got what they consider a " real " dirt bike.. eg. KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda. Don't bother.
Theres plenty of bush spots. Theres a few great spots...
I've got a CRF110 with a Lifan 110 engine in it.
I started up the bike during the week one night after work, and to my horror the bike almost kicks starts with almost zero effort and goes straight to work, revving it's little guts out. Really screaming like it's almost at 3/4 throttle...

Thought we'd try something a little different than the usual paddock bashing. Some very tricky sand tracks.
Rider #1 feel off, now has a very sore back. Rider # 2 flipped over the handle bars, now has a very sore, potentially broken collar bone. And me, broke some brand...
