Stuuu.....

You're going to have to tell me what I'm doing wrong...

Anywayyyy...

The bike is running and idling nicely, I couldn't give it a proper rev because I don't have the right switch attached which keeps the throttle together and I was holding my phone

I now need to start doing cosmetic work on her

Great project, currently just gone and got my self another tzr125 to

Restore

Cheers dude

I'm just waiting for some spare time to spray the fairings and fix the wiring loom

It's cracking on well dude great to see it taking shape, I finally found a 2rj to sort out for road use until my 2rk is running sweet http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p562/classickid21/Mobile%20Uploads/E028C5D2-7E5D-453C-B457-B38210C4AE17_zpsg2nkh8it.jpg

Hey guys and girls as some of you are aware I panic bought a a yamaha TZR 125 in the hopes of restoring it

The panels are in pretty decent condition, fair bit of surface rust around the bike, seized engine, no electrics other old bike stuff

My first job was to try and get the engine running freely again, which with plenty of penetrating oil and 2 stroke oil finally came free

Second job was the electrics which are definitely not my strongest but I managed to get the indicators working, ignition working and the lights in the clocks working again

The wires are in an absolute shit condition which I think to save time and me giving up on it getting an auto electrician to wire my bike up when it's all looking pretty but for now I'll pick your brains for help

Anyway I'll upload some pictures when I'm home

Wish me luck

Oh and any ideas of what colours I should paint it would be good, I'm thinking back to original but I've seen a few ideas which I like

Remember this is going to be a slow moving project so bare with me

Hey dude, just wondering if you would know how to set up the timing on the tzr2rk properly ? Any tips or clues and where to buy the correct puller

Regards

Scott

Hey dude

If you have a gander through the pages you'll see that my engine was beyond repair and I decided to buy a new engine

Sorry I couldn't be any more help

In other news, no interesting updates on my tzr other than I've finally got the V5 for it

Just had a little read of this again

Mr Ricky, get me a full diagnosis on that engine

I've brought a few engines from the brink back to good serviceable condition but there is a point where the cost would extend so high you may as well buy a second engine and let me rebuild that instead so you have a properly fresh unit

 

Hi Fozzie, i know its a long shot as this is an old post but i seen you were pretty close to me on the map and i'm in serious need of help with my '88 TZR if you could contact me somehow through TMBF it would be much appreciated.

On the map if you think I live in Lymm yes, but while Lymm is my home base, I work in London 5 days a week and stay down here most of the time now for the next year or two

Ricky was lucky that I was up for a week to rebuild his YZF-R top end, and give pointers for the TZR. We'd have been flying if we had more than a day to do it all!

Throw up a question on pitstop if you have engine troubles.
