Recommended Posts

bought this bike for a great price. i paid 450 for this bike. top and bottom end rebuild not too long ago new chain and sprockets, new tires, and more stuff!! extra seat, extra plastics too.

i tore it down and JUST got the frame, swingarm, triples, subframe, and linkage powdercoated mirror red. and got it mostly back together saturday night.

I also bought 12" rims with street tires so i can ride this beast on road tracks too, mainly go kart tracks tho. we have one here in fremont that we will be hitting up a lot this year!!! but i can stil switch out the sprckets, chain, and rims and ride dirt!! this thing was dirrty when i got it, dirty enuff to where i had to steel wool everything, lol. looks awesome now!!! my 12's should be in end of this upcoming week!! enjoi the pics!!!!!!!!!!

this is when i first got it home.

the air filter was so bad it tore apart just tuching it, tat got replaced along with the throttle cable when i got it home (had a kink)...

I just meant assembling them, both bikes have their forks assembled and not much else.

the 80 is 3/4 done. just the radiator and rear end is left (couple hours). waaaaaaaaay too much left on the ninja.

its just as easy to put forks on as it is the handlebars, and i need them on first so i can get it rollin.

Now you gots to buy another suit! Get it!!

now that i wont be going 160+, im not worried about a VERY good suit, which ends up being expensive.

what are rules for racing these things for gear? just so i get whats needed for racing, so i dont have to worry about buying in the future if need-be.

ive got textile pants and a textile jacket that have the 8" zipper that zip 2gether. which ill use up here at the lil go kart track.

Dude you want a nice leather one piece suit. Crashing happens a lot even on go kart tracks. Im not sure if you would be allowed to race without one piece leathers. You also need some decent boots and full gauntlet gloves. You can get a decent suit for under 600 bones. Check the wera forum for used suits.

Hells yea man! That red frame looks great! I acutally havent been to CRP yet this year. Been slacking. I need some new rubbers. Once you get it together let me know when ya wanna go.

thx! will do! im gonna get some practice in here with the guys at the local track. hell, this is my first dirtbike, and i only rode it on dirt once, at our sales managers house, before i tore it down. hes got a nice track (no jumps, just a shitload of turns) behind his house. take 2 min. per lap, so its a nice one! and theres a gun range down the middle of it!!!

but i have CR250 for dirt now!

also, whats the lil black cylinder above the gray left side cover?

also, is there a circlip holding the front sprocket on on your 85? i went to put the sprocket on last night and realized i have the 2 lil bolts and the plate that bolts to the sprocket and the sprocket. but what holds the sprocket on? im guessing im missing a circlip or something. or is there nothing?

no thats how they are (sprockets)

looks like you got a lot of room to slide the forks up to help lower the front some.

black cylinder is his catch can i believe.

sweet. thx! i gotta ask... catch can for what?

so what is the point of the lil plate and 2 bolts on the front sprocket?

yah ill be dropping the forks thru a lil bit!! bout an inch or 2. ill try it at normal height first.
