Update: Wow. I can't believe it's been this long since I started messing about with the bike. :P So far, i've had some loose spokes (I just hand tightened it), 2 blown tubes front and rear. The rubber seals delaminated around the valves due to riding around in hot weather. Not very nice to...

Hi Alex, Wish it was me but no. I'm in South Aus. You should have a smorgasbord of parts to you. The guys and shops there have a very wide knowledge of chinese bikes/small cap bikes and interchangeable parts. ;)

Musta Alex? Pinoy din ako. ;) welcome to the party! whereabouts are you?

file and sandpaper for me...

From what I can see, the frame was homologated. You wouldn't wanna use the whole thing to race, even in commuter, the cbr125's would leave you behind. LoL

Love how the front end looks! Especially those bars. ;)

Hey Son, No probs. I enjoy doing this sort of thing. I'm formerly from DPTI (Transport SA) hence why I get excited by ADR's. ;D As for the solid evidence, I doubt there would be any that would declare YAY or NAY. One can only assume that the air filter and taking off of air boxes is currently...

I don't know if there is a specific ADR for motorcycles using air filters. I know there is one for vehicles prohibiting them from using pod filters that are oiled for EFI cars and an outright ban on carby engines. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2008C00324 The only thing I could see for air...

Yes, the salient point in that sentence is 'recommend'. It is no longer compulsory. Same as 'recommended' tyre widths used in motorcycles and cars. ADR recommends use of standard tyre width/dimensions as per OEM but you are not required to. Other thing to watch in that update is the position...

Hey Son, Here you go. Attached is the updated ADR. Be aware this is for SA and not sure about the others states interpretation. It has further clarifications on what it means. Only requirement now is as per the actual explanation: There is no specific requirement for a minimum wheel guard...

Hey Son, ADR has changed recently (but differs per state). You are no longer required a rear fender covering the whole wheel(half a wheel length) but they still recommend having one. As per your picture, that would be legal as you still kept the plastic panel protecting your airbox from being...

It's registered as a solo in SA as well. Cheaper rego compared to a 2 seater too.

Looks like the tank and seat of a Yamaha RD250. As for pegs, you can buy clamp on pegs.

Update: Installed header wrap. Did not expect it to fray so easily but all done now. Soaked it in water for a tight fit. Also re-installed standard CDI as the blue OORacing one seemed to not really do anything special(plus the rev limiter thingy doesn't really work).. Hi Maladept, I used a...

Hi Tad, Thanks for the compliment :). I have dug up those pages and some others and it will certainly be helpful especially those relating to the battery relocation. Thanks! We have already put an additional baffle where the header pipe clamps onto the exhaust(seems you did it this way as...

Update: New header and muffler has been installed. Header starts as 1 inch then 1 inch and a 1/4. Muffler was LOUD so a new baffle was added and is still loud. Sounds a lot larger than a 50cc. Everybody will hear me coming ::) Carb manifold was modified so it sits center rather than leaning...

I don't know what the actual compression is with that gasket but CRAZY did it without to up compression.He used silicone rtv instead. Perhaps it's possible to use that instead? Speak to your mechanic and see if it's safe to up compression. That is if you don't want to wait.... Edit: Incorrect...

Hi Sag, Yeah. The tyres made a great difference. Tyre Guys said that it would take approx 150 km to run in so haven't tried pushing the corners yet. ;D I got the full replacement kit as per below that came with everything. They didn't have the CDI with the remote so they sent me one without...

Most current state. Really gotta drop it off next week to get the exhaust done. I can feel it's being choked...

OK. Updates. Received my muffler so just waiting on some free time to drop the bike off at Redline to get a new header made. Got new tyres. Metzelers ME22 purchased and installed at GC Motorcycles in Prospect. Happy with the tires and customer service was great. The not so great was the...
