    How to repair hairline crack in crankcase?

    Hi. Had the clutch cover off to replace a broken bolt, noticed a hairline crack in the wall of the case near where the bolt went. Before the bolt was removed, the bike leaked oil pretty bad, now it is much better, but still seems to have a very minor leak. Not sure if this is beacuse I made a...

    CG125 deglazed front brake shoes and drum, still poor performance.

    I have a CG125, I deglazed front brake shoes and drum, still poor performance. I'm no expert but the rest of the parts seem in good condition, my friend reccomended I replace the shoes. Ideally I would like to replace the front end with a disk brake, but can't afford it. If I buy EBC shoes...

    Rear shock bushings, correct fitment? + Couple other questions.

    Rear suspension was very stiff, removed shocks to investigate. Rubber part of bushings was wrong size, so I trimmed to fit. Aluminium tube that goes through rubber was OK for top mount, but too long for bottom, trimmed it to fit. Extra washers were on it, binding the rotation even with properly...

    Sidi Motorcycle boots. UK size 7. Rough but fixable. £10 + Postage.

    Bought a pair of Sidi boots from ebay, they have very worn soles, but look fixable. They are too small for me. Not looking to make money, I just need them out of the way. I thought somebody here might like them rather than chucking them in the bin. Can take a photo if anyone is interested. I...

    Could use some inspiration for the mounting hardware. The mount for the bottom of fairing will be easy. The mount for the top needs to be quite a complicated shape. Messing arround with the bits of aluminium I have, I could bolt something together that will probably be suitable, but it will be...

    TZR 125. Indicated speed 110mph. Estimated real speed?

    Just wondering, fastest I have been on a machine under my own control was an indicated 110mph on my old TZR. This was down a hill, flat out, gearing unknown, whatever was on when I bought it. The highest number on the speedo was 100, but the needle was pointing where 110 would have been printed...

    Exact oposite of "dotheton", cg125 long distance mods...

    I am stuck on a cg, could have bought a ratty, horrible, fun, two stroke, but can't afford the maintenance. I know it is pretty much the opposite of what you guys mod bikes for, but I am trying to tweak it for long distance riding. I am posting here because guys on many forums get offended by...

    How to remove heavy rust from exhaust?

    Hi. I have a CG125, old but mechanically sound. Trying to pretty it up a little. The exhaust has fairly bad rust. I don't want to spend a lot on a consumable part, but would like to make it less ugly. I estimate that 3/4 of the solid metal remains on the worst parts. I bought a tin of high...
