Finally on the road for the last week or so. Just got round to taking some pictures. I need to fit a new chain as current one is too slack. It's going on tomorrow. Ordered a new jet for the Arrow exhaust and missing a few fairing bolts which have been ordered so excuse the cable ties...

Yeah man sure. Had a bit of a scare tonight. It just conked out and wouldn't start. I lifted the tank up and put it back carefully to ensure there were no fuel line kinks and it started...

Confused

Looks smart. I never had a 125 stroker when I was younger...maybe I should upgrade my XR for one, although I'd have thought it would cost a bit more to run.

Cheers Craig and Chives Thumbs Up Karma

They are good fun. Easily chuckable although I'm not confident at the moment. Embarassed

Doesn't cost that much right now. Although I'm sure if I use it regularly the top end rebuild will get annoying.

Laughing

Although if I set aside the money for it, it seems easy enough to do myself.

Thumbs Up

Also it seems Photobucket has reduced my image quality a lot. Tiny pic makes the images look much better:

Paid £1000 for the bike and £120 for the Arrow Expansion Chamber.

You going to do your A2?

I've passed my theory and my CBT runs out in November so I hope to do it before then.

And question number three, for a big cookie: you restricted it Question

It currently has a Powervavle on it I believe.

Great looking bike and for what its cost you i wouldnt have said no. I love the older shape rs, one of the best looking bikes around. When I'm finally stupidly rich I'll be having one as a second bike.

For some reason I've started to take a liking to the older and rounder bikes. Like the SRAD and my RS125. Prefer them a lot more now than all of these new angled bikes that have sharp fairings.

A few images from today showing that I polished the swing arm as you guys asked. Only 10 mins on each side with a clotch and some metal polish. Looks better though..

Pointed out by Fahd'd and also showing my newly tightened chain. Going to put the new chain on at some point in the near future still though.

I'm liking it! I think some yellow rim tape would finish it off nicely?

Cleaned the bike a little today. The camera certainly seems to focus on all of the imperfections as it looks really nice in the flesh. Can certainly see a few faults in these photos but I've tried to polish the swingarm as many have said so here we go:
