No way, my friends DRZ400 which has more power can't even do that! I can clutch it up in 3rd quite nicely though. If I go over a slight bump or hill I can yank the bars to keep the wheel up but not on the flat. My friend has a Bandit 600 and it easily kept up with him on the twistys on the way...

Thats interesting, thanks. At least it will let me know roughly if the compression rings are in good condition. Assuming they are, I assume I am doing no damage to the motor by using it regularly assuming I keep on top of the oil levels? And to be honest I still have my XL125 I could ride to...

Thanks for the replies, I am confident doing the work myself and have done several full engine rebuilds before. But as I am commuting on this I wanted some opinions before opening the motor. I will purchase a compression tester as I have been meaning to get one for some time. I think I will...

Hey all, I have just bought a 97 XR400R a week ago (my first "big" bike) and although the bike has plenty of power and pull its blows some under load when I am accelerating hard or popping a wheelie. I'm assuming its the valve seals as there seems to be no loss in power but I wanted to ask other...

Hey all, I recently did a full rebuild of a CG 125 engine I had as the crankcases were damaged, the engine was running before the rebuild. I just cant get it to run well! Although I am OK with engine rebuilds I am not so good with carbs, and wondered if someone with more skills than me could...

Ohh thanks ill check that - just gone away for the weekend but thanks for your help!

Hey all, would be great if anyone knew what this carb is! Thanks in advance!

If anyone is interested I couldn't shift it, so I tried drilling out and a.nice chunk of the crankcase came off :( so I just rebuilt the engine with some crankcases off of ebay, turns out the small end on the conrod had seized at some point so I put a bronze bush in there and used a piston from...

Thanks for the great suggestions. I will have another go tomorrow in the light and hopefully get my bike back on the road, as I am already missing it! Ed

Hey all, I have a CG125 engine that I want to slot into my XL125RC because the 200 Chinese engine in it shat itself (after 2 bottom end rebuild I cant be fucked to split the cases again... dont get me started on them...). The CG engine is from my old CG that I retired and I personaly put about...

Ok from that CG wiring diagram I made a bare essentials ones! And now I can see the problem. The headlight and taillight run right off the alternator BEFORE going through the reg... I hope I have not damaged the reg by trying to pull so much juice off of it! Tomorrow Ill give it another go and...

I have this one for the 163fml http://planetminis.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=49463&d=1257355683 And this one for the CG http://www.robocog.dyndns.org/cg125/simplecgwiringdiag.jpg I like how that one has the work "simple" in the URL but it makes my brain hurt just looking at it...

Hey sonic, they both output 12v Ed Ohh one thing I forgot to mention. I just have a capacitor in place of the battery. But assumed this would not matter as for the last year my CG 125 has had no battery and the only thing that did not work was the horn - it fizzled instead of honked. I just...

Hey all. I have a 82 XL 125 RC that I put a 200cc 163fml motor in. I have wired it up so that it run but cannot seem to be able to get the electronics working. I wired up the running circuit myself, then used a cg 125 loom hoping that I could just output the the power into the loom and that it...

Re: Bearing question. - XR200/CG200 Gear Bearing Thanks man, your a star :D I get a reply off the chinariders forum all be it after I have ordered the bearing lol, but he linked to a post on tumpertalk, turns out the xr200 used that bearing for about 20 years and for some stupid reason Honda...

Ok I managed to find 2 sites in the UK with one. One was £16 and £10 postage, the other was was £8 and £12 postage. Safe to say I just bought a little fking bearing for £20 lol... I hope I get a free blowjob out of that deal or something...

Ok, I think I have found the bearing I need! Its an NK15/12 and seems to be very obscure. The reason for my miscalculation was because of this cage that protrudes out further than other bearings. I can't find it to buy anywhere other than one site from the Netherlands but they want 19 Euro...

aww man, I really can't find any others other than the ones I posted :( Ill continue tomorrow. Thanks for the help man!

Will do, thanks. In the mean time... How about this one?

Ahh man, I just ordered one haha... What do you mean however?
