Fair play. These are great bikes. I had one for my first bike when I was 16.

Loads of kids in Jersey rock about on Derbi's. I've got an old 1996 senda with a KX80 motor in it half built in the garage, just for sentimental value.

Good luck with the build!

Thanks guys, just stripped the motor today ready for new bearings and seals, got a new piston coming too so hopefully should be a runner again really soon

Been busy again today, have put new crank bearings and seals in, new piston, full gasket kit, refitted the clutch, refurbished the cylinder and head and its all back together, now got great compression, going to put it back in the frame tomorrow and attack the wiring. More pics to follow.....
