l.t racing

I wass going to do that one its next monday i think, only doing this one as could not wait much longer to get on track , dieing to get out there now. lee

Dont sound good sp far about them, should of waited 4 days and gone with no limts. Will be hapoy enough if i can get about 100miles done on bikd and get some good times. thanks lee

Thats not what i wanted to hear i only using them as wanted to get out asap and no limts were fully booked. Will have to see how it runs on the day hope it is run good thanks lee

Any one doing this, its next week, hoping it will be dry. Doing it on my cb500 again got some new tyres bt090 as used years ago on the cb's i love them, could not get on with the other tyres i had fitted. The day is with foucsed events, never done a day with them befor what they like say to no limts, are they better or both about on par with each other. Thanks lee

Already did this few years ago. Did it with the rotax 257 engine it dose not drop str8 in. You have to bush and space engine on back top mount, make front engine mounts i got some lazer cut and also made some in carbon fiber. Then you have to make bottom engine mounts. If you use a stock 125 rad the pipes are on the wrong side. Your best of getting a one off rad and exhaust pipe like i did. Im on with building my self a rs125 for road but now going to stick a rotax 257 engine in again. Want weight around 90kg and power 60 to 65bhp. lee

I would go for some thin you not thought of and buy a cb500. Pick one up for around 1k and have loads of money left over for track days. Will take piss out any 600 and 1000s if you are a ok rider. im building a spare bike and will have less then 700quid i think and thats with buying the bike aswell

if you pm me your email address i will email bloke who runs the forum and ask him about it. two pictures from cadwell one is a picture of the day, the photo bloke who took it was well happy with it lol. http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n592/leeandkerry/DSC_1764_zpscc65a358.jpg http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n592/leeandkerry/DSC_9362_zpsdbe188db.jpg lee

Hi, Look on this forum, will get loads of help on there, and bloke who sells the race body work is also on there. If not look on ebay under cb500race and you will find some race body work on there. http://z3.invisionfree.com/cb500_racing/index.php? Was at Cadwell on 15th April, first run on bike and first time on track for 4 years, wanted to be quicker but it will not come back in one day, had to adjust a few bits after first session, and after that all other 6 sessions went ok, there was two other cb500s there and one i just flown past him in a str8 line, other was in slower group. Hoping to be back at cadwell soon going to try get again on 17th of may think it is, few things to do befor goes back, buy some tyre warmers, new motor cross chain, 41t sprocket ran a 42t at cadwell, new oil filter and fresh water, and a good check over, and ready to go again. just dont feel 100% with the tyres, still abit off the edge of them, on the front tyre to wear i have lent it after that, the side of the tyre just drops off and i could feel it slid a few times. Trying some diffrent tyres after the next track day as race club im on about running with run diffrent tyres, club is hottrax, as they are after running a cb500 class. Thanks lee

You will be fine ricky. I did a few on my rs125 track bike and was able to take loads of bigger bikes. Knew a few twist and go mopeds they were 77cc but did tell the track day company they were 125s and they kept with bigger bikes. Im there next tuesday 15th been 4 years since last ridden cant wait. get your self on track you will have loads of fun. lee

Track day at cadwell next week on the 15th, any one eles doing this, my first time out in 4 years and new bike i just built so cant wait. It is with no limits, think price is 85 quid. Will be there on a red cb500 number 52. Hopfully see a few of you there

Hi, Hear is the link http://www.sebimoto.com/motorcycle-fair ... -125-00-05 With me going to run carbon, i may sell my panles if that would help you out any not the best but in one pice i belive lol, would also need painting. Lee

Found a website other day which do full kits for the rs125 for your year fiberglass and carbon just the nose cone is not cut out for lights. Im fully restoring my 2002 rs125 which is the same as yours and will be buying carbon body for it. Think aboce body would fit but you have ti fit few diffrent things. thanks

Bikes been dynoed and now sounds 100times better, was running very lean on the top end when 1st ran it on dyno, stock power out put is 52bhp, im making 53.2bhp which is good for a stock bike, and 35.5ft lbs of torque, got my new dry tyres yestday and fitted, conti attack never used them befor so will see how they go and how they last very soft thow.

Hi, Thanks for the replays. Not done much for a bit, it now runs and is not far off from been 100% done, My body work is away at paintes at the min should have that back this week, need a set of dry tyres ording, then im on the dyno on the 28th of march, runs a bit shit at min low down as done a mod to air box so that has not helped with the jetting, and just got to get another new set of pads as swapped for a diffrent caliper. Im also trying to get this done for a track day at cadwell in april 15 or th think it is, its on a Tuesday, so got the above to do to bike and get my eyes tested and my race lince sent off. Will upload some picutres once bike is done and with my dyno readings hoping for 52bhp plus. Also brought another cb500 other week, im just on with stripping and cleaning it at min, and bolting it back together, im going to do this just as a cheap spare, i want it ready for track for less the £600 and i payed £150 for it will look a dog but it will be a spare bike and will get fully rebuilt over winter. Also i did have a ybr 125 road bike, sold that also and got my self a aprilia rs125 2002, that has been fully stripped and i have just started to rebuild it loads of brand new parts fitted, like forks, swing arm, rear suspion and front disc and more stuff. Will start a new thread on this when i get chance. Thanks Lee

Thanks very much. that is a fizzy from the 70s i think the time is lol with a 80cc derbi engine fitted 25bhp. the green is also powered coated.

Ya its good fun been at the racing meeting i do love it, but just cant afford it that much now.

Just track days this year may do a few race meetings, not to fused about racing. raced for few years spents 1000s and got note out of it, and very little track time, track days loads more track time and cost alot less.

Aprilia rs125 road bike i brought sold some bits from it started to turn it in to a race bike but had to sell to fund the cb500 bike. Yamaha rd250lc helped my dad build for a bloke think he has built around 5-6 for people now and he has got 3 more to build of top of my head. My lovely Aprilia rs125 with a rotax 257 engine fitted wish i never sold it, had around 6k in this one off rad, pipe, subframe, engine mounts, even started to get carbon fiber engine mounts and rear sets made for it, had to sell, as lost my job and for how i wanted it would of spent around 6k more and i could not do that Yamaha ybr125 what i fully built my self for road few years back sold it so i could buy a brand new ybr125. I do have few more pictures to add but photobucket been a twat. thanks

This is around the 5th cb500 i have fully built, have built one to run in 2008 and finshed around 4th-5th in new era championship on my 1st season on the 500 and missing about 3 rounds. Then built a new one to run with Thundersport in 2009, did mallory park having got a 1st and 4th, then kind of gave up racing, did build another a year later but had to sell due to lack of funds. Now on to building my last cb500 i hope LoL, this im hoping will turn out the best one i have eva done, people who have seen my bikes they will know i turn out the best looking bikes. With me not running with Thundersport i dont have to build it to there regs, but for the moment i am, at a later date im going to stick a brembo master cylinder on and maybe a diffrent front end and better shockes, but if i do stick with stock front end i have a spare set of forks i picked up and im going to run them abit diffrent on the inside for some adjustment. Also going to look at which other tyres i could maybe run. At the moment i have just got the bike to a rolling chassic yestday.
