Hi all, this is my first day on this blog site.

I just baught a TZR 125 that has seen better days, I finaly got it to work today but found a crack in the piston caseing, (top end) not sure of the correct phrase lol,

Just wondering if it can be welded or not. and why this has happened in the first place? I was thinking of putting a bore kit on the bike too but havent got a clue where to find one or even what to look for?

Any advice would be great. As you can see I am a complete novice at this.

Stu. Very Happy

Hi

Most likely cause of a cracked barrel is someone leaving it over winter with just water in rather than a water / antifreeze mix.

All the best

Keith

Hi

Not looked at big bore kits in ages for anything. Try the Malossi web site.

All the best

Keith

Don't think there was an aftermarket bore kit available for these, the TZM150 (designed and released for the asian market) may fit.

Lovely bikes the 4HW though, don't see many about anymore.

I think they only fit the older TZR125 that looks like the TZR250 2ma (shares it motor with the dt125r). The 4hw has a different motor irrc.

Besides, the Athena kit is shite anyway.
