PROJECT RS: Opening Chapter

[Ukrs50rider]

Hello, Long time listner etc etc.

Just bought myself a 2000 w reg,24000 km, rs125 full power project bike.

Got her for £600 of a mate who crashed it, usual checks have been carried out on frame, forks etc and all seems to be straight.

He managed a lowside at 20mph, simple mistake of over cooking it in the wet :bangwall:


I'm probably going to be spending about £500 ish to get it back up to a reasonable condition.

Few mods maybe aswell, only visual. But maybe just an arrows end can? and clip ons

Pics follow tomorrow.......:cheers:

Only done one for now as others have number plate in and cant b arsed to edit them...

The only thing that concerns me is when i rev it the whole bike vibrates, and i mean VIBRATES.As in the whole bike moves across the garage. unless i put my foot against the side stand to stop it..

Any ideas?

Cheers

fahuked bearings, balance shaft gears, clutch basket bearings

balance shaft?

[kezajones]

balance shaft?
runs from a gear on the clutch side to keep down on vibrations, its like a little offset weight that spins with the crank

i know what a fecking balance shaft is lol i was wondering if thats what it is lol

whether its the balance shaft out of sync

[kezajones]

if it was a left hand low side it could of broken the gear.

Been a while i know, but little progress has been made since having to buy a car and do driving lessons.

Front fairing/ clock bracket
Ebc HH Front and rear brake pads
Ebc Heavy duty clutch and springs
Plastic cogs behind clutch
Front fairing V piece
Chain and sprokets
New front and rear dunlops
whole engine gasket set

All i can think off at the moment,

Stuff to be done -

The top end
Jl stainless exhuast
Speedo drive
Cush drive
Wavy front and rear discs
New left and right fairings
Repair front nose cone
Buy solo seat

Thats it really - A few pics :happy:

Few questions - Does a aprilia rsv rear disc fit straight onto my bike? ( 5 spoke wheels)

Been looking for correct info but cant find it. a place to buy uprated jets and the correct jetting for a standard bike with a "race" exhuast.

Thanks
