    Did you try blasting air through it? or maybe something super penetrant? Don't know if that would f anything up though...

    I would let you take whatever you want from the XR200R until your parts arrived, but the 200R doesn't even have hydraulic brakes

    brake cables and drums ftl

    ok mondo...you are officially cursed

    and you are also spreading the curse to me

    I can't for the life of me remove the pin that holds the rear pads on the brake caliper for my RM125...it's an inset allen screw that is now completely rounded out and non-accessible (since it's inset) for cutting notches into and removing with a slotted screw driver

    Try a slightly larger standard sized allen instead of a metric. Sometimes that works for stripped out metric stuff. You might have to tap it in with a hammer.

    hahahahahhaha goodluck dude, i hope im not cursed. I mean fuck im learning a TON doing all of this myself....its just taken me a lot longer and cost more than I orgionally planned...AKA i shoulda saved up and bought one that was fine, but then I wouldnt have gained this experience.

    Great re-build. I know how it goes with working on stuff an getting delayed. It sucks but the effort you put in now is going to be rewarded later with properly working equipment. Here's to trouble free operation in the not too distant future!

    great job Mondo!

    the pictures really paint a great picture for us on the forums for all the work that we've been hearing about, so congrats!

    and just give you foot some time...you're still relatively young and (theoretically) healthy, so you will heal in good time (...and we'll go on an honorary NESR XR ride)

    what about the bike makes you think you need carb work?
