CR125 road legal

Got the radiators on, did some more graphics, cleaned the carb out & got halfway through doing the seat before I ran out of staples. Its getting there...

Quite looking forward to riding this one.

Bolt exhaust up, cover seat, fit chain/sprockets, calibrate speedo, connect killswitch & it should run. Hoping to MOT it tuesday or just after xmas.

Good effort, looking really tidy so far. Would love something like that for the green lanes around Derbyshire.

[Fazer Tom]

I've just realized. I have never ridden a 2 stroke.

This upsets me.

89 sticker isn't straight on the plastic

PLEASE use a ruler when applying the next load

This bike will upset your OCD. The graphics are pattern sets, the plastics are pattern sets. Like nothing quite lines up where it's supposed to

Doesn't bother me as it'll be going through a hedge early next year

I'll be interested to see how you go about calibrating the speedo. I have one of those fitted to a scooter. After the speed gets over 40mph, the indicated speed suddenly drops to 10mph and starts climbing up again.

Does it in MPH and KMH modes.

Pretty sure its for MOT and the law rather than designed to tell speed.

[Clutchy]

PLEASE STOP!


My urges for a 2 stroke SM are getting unbearable

Well this thread has made me change my boxers twice now goddamit.


How much would a similar spec of one of those set me back paddy? What was your insurance like comparatively?

The bottom one, around £1000 with tax and test with lights. That cost me £900ish. Had just cost me £300 in repairs due to last owner being a wang.

Insurance, added £0 to my policy, run a quote for a 99 KTM 200 EXC worth 900 and see what you get, single bike would cost me £80 to insure TPFT and £110 FC.

TBH, If I wasn't so eager to grab one, I'd have waited for a 300 EXC or to troll Iain, CR250/CR500

[delvey91]

Let me know how you get on reging!!

£250 to insure

Now to find one, they all seem so expensive

Just gotta put C&S on it and replace a clutch cable. Should be laughing then...also sorted the seriously clogged air filter. Was black, is now yellow...

Need to sort for sunday then get muddy and wet init.
Brap mofo, brap.

[STONEY!]

I recon we should do a bcf green laning session if you lads are up for it? I have a van so could come your direction (I'd like to try some new stuff anyway)

[_Iain_]

From the last time I set one of theese up, what you had to do was put a mark on the floor, roll the bike forwards one wheel revolution, then mark it again. Measure between the two and punch the number in CM into the unit. It could then work out how far you'd traveled for each pass of the magnet and calculate a speed.

Hoping this is pretty much the same

You can also use a piece of string or tape measure around the wheel, but with knobblies the floor many bemore accurate.

[Dischord]

You can buy flexi number plates off ebay that are excellent, I would personally then use a small aluminium bracket or something!! Looks good though, hope you have a van because the worst thing about a small capacity 2 stroke for green laning is getting to the lanes! Nearest ones from me are about 20 miles away and it's hard work getting there without the van.

We have a handful near us, I'm about 1-2 miles from one and can even blast through a park to get there

Iain is probably looking at a 10 minute ride, maybe 15 to get to the same place, so not too far.
