are you sure it's not the headstay? i think i read another 450 broke in similar fashion not long ago. Everyone seemed to think it was the headstay?

Oh OK, now i know what you mean. If i get a chance today i'll take a look at mine, it's 07 model. I'll take some measurements and check mounts and location. I'll get back to you

Thanks, i figure all being equal the logical step would be to remove the woodruff key to realign the trigger closer to where it should be. i think you would be pretty unlucky if the flywheel slipped on the shaft.. I've been trying to search cr125 curves, very little information available. However i ...

out of curiousity, regarding 125 ignition with 250 stator and flywheel. Tell me does the stator and flywheel actually have any effect on the curve? I realise if the the flywheel pick up is located differently it will change. But wouldnt it still be the same curve but the values are different... I gu...

ok, thats easy then. Thankyou

i'll just use my 01 bike details then .......

i guess my next challenge would be insurance if the cases has NO number...
find out if someone will stamp a number for identiciation purposes

i've decided to build a 500 engine from purchasing parts. My question is regarding crankcase's particularly the left side. To behonest i didnt even think about it... Here's what Service Honda says Q. Do you sell frames or L. side engine crankcases? A. Yes, but if the model is 400cc or larger we need...

yeah i'm pretty happy, just been patient and waitng. I tell you though when searching ebay i was actually surprised at just how many used parts there and the seller is asking more than price of new parts.. Someone was trying to flog off a stuffed inner clutch hub for over $150 trying to say they are...

i got this + kickstart assembly

this is the whole enchilad for $225. you pay $700 for shipping ??? :shock: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-Honda-CR500-CR-500-Tranny-Transmission-Engine-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem53e6a91104QQitemZ360352125188QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories nevermind. says it was slipping in 4th and fork ...

I have a ported complete 96 style engine thats going to be ready for sale hopefully next week. I have 2 close ratio engines available also. All ported. Thanks for the offer, i cant afford a complete engine just yet. I love my beer and smokes too much. I'll just gradually save up for one bit by bit....

aussie prices are fukkin HIGH. just bought a 540ktm motor for $200+ $60 shipping. was only missing piston and clutch assembly :lol: just the tranmission, thats just the shafts and gears. $910.66 from the US. If i purchased them from AUS it would be minimum $1500-$1800. Walk into the shop, bend over...

Thanks mate, yes thats what i was looking at.

Thanks, the dogs look good... The shift forks look good, but i'll check the manual to be sure. I picked up the transmission, gearshift assembly, kickstart assembly for $200. It's was listed as a 93 model, if it is or not i'm not sure, anyway not too fussed on that I decided too build a second engine...

are these any good or need replacing? 3 from left TOP 2 from left BOTTOM. Note the surface

Bloody IT's, mate had one. Dammed if we could start the bike earlier it was a 200. put it in the back of the ute and tied it down. Driving along the road and it started, must of moved a fraction and bump started itself was wheelspining backwards at full revs Fucking freaking, never seen anything lik...

The CrMo frame was very similar, with the exception of rounded lower down tube, it was just boxed OFF at the base and the crades extended up in similar fashion.... I went that route with the CrMo, the angles were a dead set pain in the arse to sort out but was doable. Whats your thoughts off same se...

yes

I'm not feelin' it..... Not sure what you mean Bob ? The angle ? Everything... The look, the angle, the stressing of the cradle when bending it like that. If this was 3 years .... then o.k. 3 years ago there wasent the support that their is now. Eric and Paulie both can sell you complete cradle rep...

To reflect what another fellow said- "he'd not do a 125 again". No offense to those that love their 125 conversions, I'd not do a 125, full stop. Plenty of 250 2ts out there to do - even here in OZ , where they don't grow on trees like in the US. If you're determined on doing this (fair e...

Not sure what you mean Bob ? The angle ?

i've been thinking more of the bending method instead of the pie cut method... I did some rough measurements 20mm forward over 230mm distance. I havnt been to school for 20 years but i worked it out at roughly 9 degrees needed. i could be wrong I'd be curious of bending stresses to achieve 9 degress...

basically i was thinking the same, the only difference would be to change the angle further up away from the "Y" section in the beefier RHS section part of the frame.

So the heat effected area is not at The "y"

clamp method maybe ? just another thought. It wouldnt be as prenounced though. Looking at approx 20mm further forward at approx 150mm away if you where to look at the front engine mount location from a hypothetical pivot point of the clamp so the bend radius wouldnt be that much obviously. https://b...

ok, thanks..... i was looking other pics of 125, sorry i stole this pic aswell. led to believe it failed at the Y too. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/184d529a17f0a3bbe82d6d1fd67a8fe0.jpg Was wondering if these failures are due to the change in angle, hence my thought on changing the "...

i've pinched a picture from Mad dogs gen3 125 build.... first cut lower rails as per drawing completely and then----- picture two tiny holes drilled both sides at the rear to prevent cracking and a pie cut to the front and two sides. I've exagerated the picture. Method would be to bend the down dube...
