Making my day seeing Rotax updates!
Even the chain is all trick and shiny gold, though it's nothing less than this beast deserves. Once you chop out and move the frame brace bar it should work a treat too!
It does not look too far away from being ready to sing now! I secretly hope it smokes the hell out of your new race bike pit, though with the fancy trick 4v engine you have in that and it being a smaller probably a fair bit lighter bike too, I'm slightly worried too in case it's not as mental lol! |

I think the Daytona 150 will have the faster get away. It's insanely quick from a standing start up to about 40mph.
But lets face it, the early RS125s, and the AF1s were rocket ships once they got moving. My old TZR pit bike used to hold it's own against the RS125 up to about 50mph, but once they were into 3rd gear, they just left me standing.

After a lot of consideration, I decided I wanted to re-frame the bike.
The after taking some measurements, I have very little option in regards to a frame change due to a few reasons.
The engine shares the rear mounting, with the swing arm mounting.
Most smaller bikes / Pit bikes don't do this, meaning the engine / sprocket will be way off the mark, and it will look like one of these slap-dash converted pit bikes where the chain is kinked almost double over the leading edge of the swing arm, gradually chewing it's way through it.
Then there is the fact it's fucking right hand drive.
No frame seems to give the clearance on the right hand side like my Malagutti one does.
And finally... The Malagutti frame, is road registered on a 56 plate.
I'm not gonna get that out of a pit bike, or a KX65 frame.
So I've decided against it.
I really did want to convert it into a Stomp KZR frame, as they run on KLX110 style plastics (Same as what I've got), and they are like a steel perimeter set up, giving room for an upright engine.
BUT, the engine is physically too wide to fit between the rear frame rails. Chain wont go through the gap between frame and gearbox housing. Booo!
Tonight, I have removed the front hugger/fender, and drilled the bottom yoke to accept a CRF50 fender.
I've got 3 front fenders. CRF50, CRF70, and a KLX110.
The 70 and 110 fenders look stupidly too big, And the CRF50 fender looks a little small.
BUT, I can live with that.

I've won a nice pair of Aprilia RSV rear-sets to go on. They should be here next few days.
I've cut the rad mounts back off.
I'm in two minds weather to stick an RS125 rad on (big single rad), as that is the fitment this frame was originally made to take.
The twin MX-style rads, although they look ace, just do not fit anywhere nicely. They either foul the frame rails, or sit too close to the yokes and exhaust.
More updates to come. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

The CRF high level mudguard looks spot on IMO!
I like the way this bike looks with the Malaguti perimeter frame. It must give you more room the the motor and ancillaries than a pit style frame does too!
The plastics it has and the perimeter frame make it look like a more compact small wheel KDX125 I reckon, and I think it's a cooler look than many pit bikes too and different!
If it needs twin rads, If you go with the enduro set up, I guess the LHS one will be in the way of the pipe or vice versa. Would a single rad under the headstock tuck in better and give you enough clearance for the forks and steering lock though? |

Looks the nuts and sounds better tbh!
Can't wait to see it during the final build. And I'm hoping it's going to out animal the trick race bike pit too. Though I reckon the angry 4v beast will be easier to ride fast maybe? |

Tonight I had a play around with the link pipe for my exhaust.
It's a length of 25mm OD stainless tube, 1.5mm wall thickness.
I've flared one end of it, taken the end cap off the exhaust, slid it down through the hole, and then bolted the exhaust back together.
So the stainless pipe is now sandwiched in the end of the end can, just between the end cap, and the perforated tube. Nice and secure. And weld-free, so I can take it apart if needs be.
I now need to make about a 45 degree bend in the pipe, possibly a second acute bend further down to clear the subframe.
I've bought one of them pipe bending springs to stop it kinking.
Once I get the frame back, I'm gonna have a play with the Oxy/Acc and try to make some bends in this pipe to get it to line up with the stinger on the Spanny.
My next question is: The Stinger is also 25mm. So the link pipe wont sleeve onto the stinger or anything.
Can I use a piece of 25mm ID Silicone pipe to join the two ends together? Like on early MX bikes.
Is silicone up to the job of handling the heat of exhaust pipes?

Okay, so a little trail of thought more than anything....
My swing arm, is a bit too short.
Although it's pure billet porn/epicness.... It's not long or wide enough for the 130 section rear tyre I'm running.
I thought about swing arm extensions. Which will prove to be very pricey.
And then it dawned on me....
Why not use an actual RS125 swing arm.
It'll mate up with the rear mount on the engine perfectly.
Sprockets will line up no problem.
It's designed for a right hand chain/left hand brake system, so I can run the RS125 rear caliper too.
AND... It's got a nice, big flat mounting area to bolt a shock bottom-mount.
Which will pull the shock angle more up like an early A-Frame pit bike set up. Giving me a wide choice of shock absorbers, with lighter 250/300lb springs, rather than having to find a 305mm shock with a 1000lb spring for my current swing arm.
The only issue is the rear wheel on an RS125 runs 20mm bearings, and my wheels are 12mm bearings I'm gonna need some custom reducers making up.

I also had a little poke around with bits of the bike while waiting for the frame to come back.
Made up a 2t tank. Costing me just under 12 quid.
I looked at one on OORacing, but they are like 70odd quid on there!
This one holds 500ml too.

I played around with the forks too.
Replaced the rubber hose from the res to the MC, with some proper silicone hose as the rubber hose was sweating brake fluid through it.
