My First Dirtbike

[Mondo]

found one from a 2003 CR 125. Guy said it should fit my bike hes just gonna check it. Just gotta get back to me with a price.

Seriously this bike has made me wanna harm fury woodland creatures

[elissama]

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

[breakdirt916]

that is unless someone has a master cylinder from a honda that they think would fit my banjos

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.

where in VT?(edit)craftsbury

im pretty damn sure that was my old bike

[Mondo]

hahaha...it does have a crack in the headlight!

I bought it off a Kid named whose name was Storm...

the bulb isnt blue in it tho...it looks completely different now that its finally all back together and everything is good to go

I'll post pics this weekend

im now 99% sure it was mine,it did need rear wheel bearings when i sold it....i put the XR's only slip-on on it...but that was 5 years ago i would say....i maybe wrong

[Mondo]

hahah thats fucken hilarious, yea i needed to do a new rear wheel bearing

thats awesome that its your bike...wanna buy it back?

[636]

haha,no sir i do not....it ran pretty well by all means....but i do stupid things and ended up in a hurt locker for weeks at a time

[Mondo]

yea I've basically replaced on it about everything that you CAN replace...lol

bought it for 300$, put over 1000$ into it.

But alas...I have a broken leg so no riding for me until november

[Mad Max]

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!

[Mondo]

thanks Chris...Ill put up pictures tommorow! I just want to get out there and ride it, but im limited now with a broken leg from a track accident, but i should be fine in about a month..just in time for late fall riding I guess.

Shes all done, just gotta bleed the front brake and work out some tuning issues with the carb. She looks pretty good!

[Mondo]

DONE!

Just gotta tune the carb a lil....I fixed and bled the master cylinder this morning so i got brakes now...

I def rode it up and down my street for like 15 mins this morning too..shifting sucked! prob not a good idea in my condition

[breakdirt916]

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?
