That's the best thing I've seen for ages. Always wondered what a decent 2 stroke engine would be like in my ksr. Hope it works out, I'd love something like that. 

[bkmbkk]

I will update when done,

It might take a while as I have not put pressure on my friend .who is building it after my instructions.

It gets quite some attention when people discover what is going on.

It it is actually not overwhelming crazy, as I have seen a guy on youtube who put a 250 ccm dirtbike engine on his MSX.

Anyway - I plan to make at least as fun as my drag tuned Nova Dash and my 300 ccm Mio.

That is so cool.  Should be huge fun to ride.  Is it a Gromaha?

[observer90210]

Any how many out here never wear a helmet when hitting the road ?

 

Remember boys - live to ride and ride to live

 

Be safe.

Back in LOS after 5 weeks in the UK on a family holiday.

Just brought these babies back in one of the suitcases.

Along with a genuine Yamaha crank puller (50 quid), genuine Yamaha workshop manual (50 quid!), two hand fulls of stainless fasteners, brake shoes (4), brake cables (2), new front mudguards (2), more tooling and lubricants for the machine shop, etc etc etc.

My missus loves traveling with me.....

Did you watch them to see if they used a "feeler gauge" to measure the clearance and  "micrometer" to measure the shims ?

Started it to make sure battery wasn't flat.

Not the right place but as it's still active, but is there any adventure riders here?

 

[idman]

I told my Xmax I was going to be away for a few days but not to worry I would be back.  These Xmax scooters are so needy and have to constantly be told you love them.

That's fine.  Just don't do like a guy in the USA earlier this month:

 

" The police department of Newton, Kansas received a call about a naked man lying under a car. Upon arrival, the 24-year-old man wasn’t only naked but was attempting to have sex with the car. According to Lt. Scott Powell of the aforementioned police department, the man “was attempting to stick his penis into the tailpipe of the vehicle.” "

I’m on day 18 of my adventure ,2 days ago chain snapped at 150 km/r,,,stuck in the middle of nowhere on the roadside for 3 hours ,,,,a friend managed to contact someone who rode 180 km to bring and fix on new chain for me.......got back on the road and within an hour stopped at police checkpoint and fined 400 bht for excessive speed,,,first time in 10 years I have ever been stopped at a checkpoint,,must have had bad karma that day,,,,anyway that was enough adventure for that day and still managed to make it Chiang Mai to south side of Bangkok in a day........journey continues today Kaeng Krachan to maybe chumphon today.

A lot of rain about in low the season, good luck and keep it under control in the wet.

 

By the way, didn't the chain break cause any undesirable issues at 150km/h - I don't know, slight jamming or impeding of the rare wheel and you could have grown wings and off the bike.... !?

 

(I had a belt broke on a rental scooter once at about 70km/h, but that had no effect fortunately and I stopped safely.)

No lucky enough the chain just dropped straight of no damage to anywhere on the bike,,,chain had only been fitted 2,000 km previous but it was a cheap crap chain and was giving me constant hassle kinking and stretching,the guy bought me out a heavy duty o ring chain and it’s been all good for last 1000 km.

[canthai55]

Been there. Bought cheap chains before - never cheap in the long run.

Now only the best X Ring I can find in the correct pitch.

[canthai55]

Picked up a drunken friend one time with my Kawa H1. He was so pissed he managed to jam his heel between the chain and rear sprocket.

Tore his cowboy boot all to rat S  T. Nice puncture marks.

Rear wheel locked up - of course - but I caught it before we went down.

Still has those scars to this day. Before the days of O Ring chains, so the old 90W gear oil in a coffee can on the stove lube method.

 In honor of the Royal Wedding I renamed my Xmax Lord Nelson just for the day.  I then placed two Union Jacks on him and proudly rode around the moat.  Gee Whiz, I felt so British.

[thaiguzzi]

Got round to fitting my tank shelters...
