i wanted to hear more about the front brake setup, MC and calliper. Rear calliper looks cool may even be hard anodised also.
I am unsure why you wouldnt want to keep trying hair brained ideas, things like air forks can only get better the more time you spend on them making it all work. KTM is doing it right putting air forks in small bikes so riders grow up with them and Dont ... more »

https://www.ktechsuspensionusa.com/Yamaha-YZ250-2010-parts.aspx I random;y entered years and models but its much the same, Ktech make unreal stuff.
Suspension is back and looking unreal, No its not Kashima but the hard anodising is very close, side by side its very hard to tell the difference unless you see them every day. lowers are new factory KYB DLC tubes, the rest of it uses aluminium spring
Things are progressing along ok, despite my best efforts. I realised last friday that I had Cerakoted and laced the wrong front hub... The 2014 front end has a larger axle and in turn the Bearing OD is larger also. I must have mixed up the hubs at some
So when I ordered all my OEM Yamaha bits I saw that an 02 crank was no longer available, so I got an 04 instead thinking they would be the same. Well as you would expect, different part number means different part. Yamaha went to a larger Non Drive End
Been that long since I've had work back from him I've forgotten.
Looking good mate, I have a soft spot for last gen RM125's.
Cheers mate!, Yeah I wont be going that way on this build but I do have him working on somthing else for me thats not for this bike but waaay cooler.
Yep the graphics kit will be a just like the 04 model except for logo changes. My thoughts also haha.
Not much extra to share at the moment as I have been busy with the aforementioned wedding & honeymoon, when we got back I pushed to get my WRF back on the road which turned out very nice but could do with some more tuning, then the plan was to jump
Cheers mate, On the update front I have been a little lax on the progress of this build as a whole lately, I am 7 days away from being married so I have been a little occupied doing wedding things. But once I'm back on deck from the honey moon and get ... more »
Yeah I've seen them getting around and Ill have a look. Not sure what you mean about the flywheel, I have never tried a flywheel weight so I have no idea but apparently it was choice for a lot of factory guys back in the day, smooths out the power and ... more »
And big points to Steahly Offroad! that's what a sticker sheet is supposed to look like! DEP take note!
Now I know I said at the beginning of this build the goal was to use as much local stuff as possible, I guess that also translates into supporting local businesses but honestly theres no way I could build this bike with as many new and premium parts
Got a a few items tidied up with the YZ last weekend, brakes are finalised now. Both callipers are done in brunt bronze cerakote, rear calliper is fully furnished with Titanium including a titanium nitride coated titanium piston. Font calliper is slightly
yeah I kind of noticed that when we got pics at the end from practise and qualifying but let it slide, Defs got worse with corona, haha I dont wanna be that guy but its almost the four stroke version of that Kick ass two strokes thread thats upto about 1000 pages or somthing! I'm guessing not being able to get up close with the bikes in the pits affects what you can shoot but i used to really enjoy the tech side and a little back story.
