1993 cr 125 budget build

I glass blasted up the cases, they come up good

put in new bearings right throu, as the originals were toast


cylinder clean


he bought a wosener piston,

water pump seals and shaft needed replacing


I have a small ultra sonic, so I did the gearbox,


and put the bottom end together


messured


and put back together

then I looked at the rest properly, oh my, I didn't realise when I collected that it had been house gloss painted by hand, tank included


so tank first, the fuel tap was missing the oring and they had used silicone sealer which had melted


flatten of the tank after cleaning it up and stripping the paint off, wet and dry in different grades then buffed, it come out ok but not fantastic


the airfilter fell apart, and the air box was ruff

cleaned it up best I could,


the wiring had so brown tape holding bare wires


a little soldering and they look better


the front pipe was beaten to death, I used the blow out kit to get as many dints as possible but he said he will change in the futre, not much I could do with it


he sent 2 rear pipes, the bills one being the cleanest


a little polish

next the frame, its solid with no rot, just lots of gloss house paint


looks cleaner now


next the brakes, the rubbers had all perished, and missing


blasted them up with fine glass, put new seals and rubbers

the master cylinder was black so beaded that up too


rear brake was as bad as the front


there was a snapped bolt in the triples, so drilled and used a easy out to remove


glass beaded them and new bearings and seals/races


swing arm bearings fell out and collars missing


new bearings


swing arm cleaned,

lower linkage was as bad


had to heat it up to get them out


ready to fit


the shock was suppose to of just had a service before he bought it, leaking seal head


stripped, and ultrasonic cleaned


new shock seal head, fresh motul oil, and some nitrogen, and it feels lush

next were the forks, again just serviced, had leaking seals, and worn bushings here is the oil amount diffence from each leg


new seals, bushings and oil, ready to fit


for some reason he didn't put the carb in with the engine, so he sent it with more coffee and some lemon drizzle cake


first thing I found was a bent needle


stripped and cleaned, pilot was blocked and float height was way out, all set to stock

had to replace the kick as it was worn out, got a used one from Holland that's been sleaved, its nice and tight, it come with a new kill button


put engine back in the frame


spring coated fresh blue and shock fitted with swing arm


gave him a old set of renthals I had on the shelf, and a set of grips the ones it come with bend on there there that weak


front sprocket was new, no wear so I blasted it over, and fitted

What a guy. Awesome job.

tank shrouds had 2 sets of decals, 1 on top of the other,


and removed the old decals from the front and rear fender


then I took the tyres of, and the rims were toast along with the spokes


so cut out the spokes


got 2 used rims and sent them off and had them anodised, I blasted the hubs while


cleaned the disks up

wheels turned out ok, put in new bearings, seals and tyres


put in a new no toil air filter,


put on new chain and rear sprocket as they were toast,


found a used gear lever on my shelf, his old stock one was sloppy, its clean and will get him going


and 2 seat covers

Nice job....that thing was roached!

found a chepo to replace


put gear oil in, fuel and it started second kick, sounds real crisp


and last one of it loading to make its way home,


when I deliverd it, he was super shocked and mega happy, its now his pride and joy and hope he has many good times to come,
