so that all lasted about a month(much like any other ride i get, lol)

 

back to work on this black rig tonight i hope.

need to sort out 2nd gear, keep disengaging(for want of a better word).

and only in 2nd, all other gears are fine

got stuck into this today

 

changed oil, replaced the blown tail light bulb, charged the battery

still got a 2nd gear problem...

it only happens in 2d, all other gears are fine.

you change into 2nd and start accelerating and it pops out of gear, and back in at random times, sorta like pulling the clutch in under rev and releasing it hard.

only in 2nd.. weird....

 

 

anyhow, some pics

we called it the Zucati, little monster

 

Adam did some nice things to her while he 'looked after' it for me....lol

 

 

he fit a matching pair of side covers, a heavier rear rack and new tail light setup.

he also fit some black maltese cross valve caps, a new oil cooler, as the old one leaked at the thread, even with thread tape, etc

 

very happy with it. just gotta sort out the gearbox issue

 

 

went for a short ride this arvo

removed the clutch side cover after dropping the oil(no major metal floaties).

 

couldnt find anything amiss, in my noob eyes. so i think it is more likely 2nd gear itself is gone, and not the selector?

help me out here if you can as i have NFI....

 

oh well, hopefully it will last a while, so i can save and buy a replacement.

 

plans are a cheap lifan 125 type r head for 320 posted

or a lifan 140

http://www.dhz.com.au/buy/lifan-140cc-oil-cooled-engine-1p55fmj/EN-02

or 150

for 440-450 posted.

 

brakes are also on the sad side, so will need to save up for a cheap disc brake upgrade like this:

so, been saving for a while, after a few calls, i decided to go with the LIFAN 140 from Casey at DHZ, mainly due to their amazing service last time.

paid for the engine at lunch and had an email nearly right after saying it was on the way..!

 

plans are to fit the replacement engine asap, and then play with the old one a bit, look into head work, 150 kit or bigger, not sure.

also did the front brake shoes today, replaced the pads with some KDF ones that came with the bike, until My order comes through.

will up some pics later
