02 Plate Sachs XTC Racing

[Sachstasy]

I got this for free of a family member, It doesn't run currently but there is a couple of weeks till my CBT training to sort that.

It's a little tatty too thanks to a leaking shed.

Hi

Sachs had major financial problems. Not sure if they went totally bust, but would explain why spares are a problem. They didn't sell a massive number of these (they weren't cheap, and were remarkably crude for the price they were asking).

Have you got it started yet?

All the best

Is petrol getting as far as the sparkplug?

With a bike like that (rare as buggery, no parts to speak of) I'd be tempted to get it going, and then sell it for as much as you can get. While owning a rare bike is deeply cool, owning a rare bike with no available parts is just hassle in the extreme, in my opinion.

Also, what happened to the fairing at the bottom? It looks like it's been twisted outward, or something.

The fairing was attacked by the heat from the exhaust as some point, and it's just bent inward. I'm buying a fairing kit for it from Egay so that's not a problem.

My main concern is actually getting it running, lol. I see what your saying, I quite like the look of it, and unlike other 125 sportsbikes, this actually fits me.

I think I'm going to be keeping hold of it for a couple of months.

Hi

Unless the rings have stuck (low compression) then just keep trying. Might well be worth trying to bump start it.

Take it that you drained the carb when you put fresh petrol in?

All the best

Hi

Might be worth checking the compression (easy to check). To be honest my experience with main bearing seals is that when they go you just land up with a lousy and very high idle. Sure if they were really trashed I would expect far worse but not straight off.

All the best

Well, They're not doing anything without my permission, So I'll see.

I also want to know about de restricting it, Any ideas?

[Kickstart]

Hi

Afraid not sure.Have a feeling it isn't heavily restricted but not certain.

All the best
