Its Alive!

Got a call from the Uncle today. He told me that the bike is alive already. Went to the shop and tested the bike here and there. Quite powerful considering its small size. To start it is a bit heavy due to oversize piston. Few more stuffs need to be sorted like the rear height, the sprocket and brake service.

After that will send the bike to my usual car workshop (Speedster Garage) for wiring sort out, and I'll be spraying the frame and engine myself there. Some welding required for the new bracket to fit in the new cover set since both coverset arent meant 

Also the bike need to be run-in for few hundred kilometers. Now where the hell I'll be going then? The bike is purely offroad use. Maybe circling the whole campus like 20 to 30 times. After the run in, then only it can be used for offroad activity.

Front fork is way too angled. Balanced it out by increasing the rear height.

New sprocket will be bigger so that it will not rub against the swing arm. Also new chain tomorrow.

Need to increase the height.

A completely brand new cover set for a pitbike! Some said its the Kawasaki 80cc pitbike cover set. But I could not confirm it either. Anyway it consist a front mud guard, front guard, rear mud guard, side panel, a fuel tank and its side cover, and a new seat. Anyone interested can order it from me too. The price is RM420 for this complete set. Comes in green and red color.

Here's an example the coverset on a 80cc pitbike. But the engine had been converted to a Kriss engine.

Back to the shop; uncle said that the engine is basically a fucked up engine. The racing block and the Kriss piston had been installed, but there's still other stuffs needed to be replaced. Since Imma noob bout motorcycle stuffs, I dunno the name of this. Hahahaha. Anyway, its fucked up.

The new carburator of EX5 had been installed too.

Engine wise almost done. Gonna spray it to make it looks nicer once it can be started.

Should be done by this week hopefully.

Pit Bike Progress.

Hey this blog is still alive. Just still not in the mood to write things up since there is nothing to be shared basically.

So here's some update on the pitbike taken last week. Yeah, I am lazy to write this up.

Few classmates were trying the bike.  Note that the front fork position is a bit weird. This is because of the rear absorber is sitting way too low.  Will fix this by putting a bracket or change the rear absorber to a taller one.

While at the shop.

The next day, it's already been disassembled.

Project : Pit Bike!

The last deal was unsuccessful. Tak jadi broo. But this time its gonna happened!

Bought this piece of shit for a small amount of money, its freakin cheap. The downside? Piston ring is worn out, and it need to be overhauled. So Imma gonna restore this baby!

It is powered by an EX5 engine so engine wise parts are easy to source and cheap too. Together with the bike, I bought also a racing block and its piston (No I lied. The piston comes from Kriss actually).

Now, where do I source out its cover set?
