It's the little bits..

[st3v3]

Since the second *sorry, third* crash The fairing was slightly bent, so after getting some new bit's off here I have decided to put other finishing touches on , and I've also moved the number plate further up the mount, so it's right between the rear indicators as a posed to an inch or 3 down the mount.

Well, she's of the road Till about next weekend now, the rear sprocket has seen better days, re-painting the wheel rims is harder than I thought(back to shiny white) and the home-made wiring loom is going to be started tomorrow.

You so need to remove that NSR sticker. Your bike is an NS125R...

Its like putting a CBR sticker on a FZR or something.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[st3v3]

Meh it's something I never got round to, then forgot I'm not sure of any bits I need now, There probably is, but me remebering them.....

*maybe I'll replace it with NS125?*..(instead of nsr)

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

Where can I get a carb that would fit? It has a "Dellorto" one on, not sure of size etc, but it has a flat spot which I think is the jet(s) so maybe a new carb for the Jets would sort it?

Will do tomorrow, got the new sprocket today, and painted the rear wheel bright white so re-fitting tomorrow, then to start on the front wheel, hoping to have it all done by Sunday. Evo, sorry I couldn't reply to your text, out of credit again should be up & running sunday. will measure the carb tomorrow and post.

Well, been an eventful day.

Got the wheels finished off as best as I can with some white hammerite and a paint brush, then me and my dad got to work on the wiring loom(mainly him) which we thought was fecked, turns out nothing worked because the most important bulbs had blown, not too dodgy a wiring

Bulbs had blown because of a dodgy battery, still not sure what's wrong with it, but I'll get a replacement one with bulbs tomorrow or payday.

So, bike's still in bits, wheels sorted, wiring fine but in need of bulbs so tomorrow I can start to bolt it together. I so can't wait to get on and ragg it around for an hour or two even though it has been only a week of no use.

Evo, the outside of the carb(engine side) measure's 44.5mm on the most outside part of the metal hole on the outside of the carb where the petrol etc goes in the engine. HTH.

Is the battery same as NSR one ?

Model: CT5L-BS

Bought a new one couple of months ago to rule out a battery problem, it was a wiring fault so still got a spare working battery.

Not sure if the connectors are the same..... Cable ties round terminals FTW!

No wonder you think your batteries fucked if your using cable ties to connect the terminals. You need the best contact you can on the battery. Usually they use small metal blocks with threads in them, they slot inside the battery terminal then a screw goes through the wires through the battery terminal into thread. Cable ties arent exactly a great conductor and also flex.

You need to get that sorted lol.

You really are Mr.Bodge

Well, wheels back on, fairing brace on and half tightened, can't do much for this fecking drizzle. wheels painted white but not too good although better than I expected for a brush and tin of white hammerite. electrics all sorted, even killswitch works so can test for backfiring later.

[Edit] Evo, I know about the terminals, they were complete when I got the battery, and are around somewhere but there's no point unscrewing time again, might as well bodge it for now, then screw it back up later when I find the screws and blocks.

[owdamer]

Did you just paint over the corrosion on the wheels then?

[st3v3]

Evo you cheeky No, it does minimum 60 when I feel adventurous

Owdamer, I sanded the rims back to the shiny metal, then painted onto that.

As it happens, I noticed yesterday the exhaust gasket is qickly dis-appearing and the down pipe has two pinholes in due corrosion, tried exhaust bandage and it simply melts off, am I going to have to look for a new micron can/system? (I so hope not)

Evo, just found https://i9.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/af/51/99e2_1.JPG these on ebay dead cheap(due to seller typo) so I'll try them first...
