2 Strokes Down Under

Yep it's a nice one.

Yes unfortunately.

Yes as noted elsware on this forum the 3xv is back on ebay.
No problems with the bike. Just looking after a family on 1 wage can be a bit tight.
After spending almost 5grand on dental work in the last 2 months something had to go.

It looks like it's spent most of its life sitting around being admired. The carbs needed a clean as it would not start, but after an evening with the...

SDR250????

http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah208/Adam196814/imagejpg2_zps5ed71041.jpg I have been busy with tidying the Tzr. The seat cowling was held together with dodgy brackets. I used acetone to mount 4 new brackets. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah208/Adam196814/imagejpg3_zps72d1ed09.jpg http:/...

Sounds good, I can't wait to see the finished bike.

Now I just have to remember how it all goes back together.

I won't paint the frame I'll just give it a good clean and start assembling the parts.
I wonder If the wife will notice another bike in the house?

Hi Gman,
The cylinders were honed by the previous owner.
I don't think the local constabulary would have seen the funny side of it if they caught me hooning down the street on the mount franklin bullet. That would be so wrong for so many reasons.

Hi Graham, I picked up the manifolds from ebay a lucky find. I will have to remember to look for tdr and tzr when searching for parts. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah208/Adam196814/imagejpg2_zpse7db198f.jpg Now I know the bike is a runner I have started to strip her down to tidy up the parts....

Still a long way to go but this is what I have so far.

The wife was in hospital today getting a plate put into her broken wrist.
I guess she had been too extreme.
Well I got the little one to sleep and started working on the bike.

Motor is in and she runs, happy days.

Got some goodies delivered today.
I've got the engine in one lump now so I should be able to drop it into the frame tomorrow and see how the electrics are.

It has MRE engraved on the barrel. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah208/Adam196814/imagejpg2_zps2445fe5a.jpg I de-coked the power valves and packed in some much needed lithium grease ...

Looks like you are making great progress.
Have you thought about cleaning the pipes while you have them off the bike?
I went the caustic soda path last time and it shifted a lot of muck.
Also did you look at the powervalve while you had the engine out?
I worked on mine today and it was in bad shape.
