TDR250 3-DAY Project

So here is the story , i have a close friend with no bike at the moment and i have a rolling chassis with registry not to mention  too many parts for a TDR250.

Helping me putting all these parts to gether would teach my friend how to fix his motorcycle and how everything works

So here is how it started , a rolling chassis with complete registry , front end is a mess and rear end is pretty scraffed and the steel version

DAY  1

 

Strip it down to chassis and clean everything 

 

The frame looks ok so after its cleaning we decided to spray it with a black spray can

and to fit a better front end and an aluminium rear end (jap import) 

 

The rear end is a direct fit BUT you will need to have all spacers etc from the alloy one because they are different

 

The shock linkage and shock were in a terrible condition so we used the next we found and were in a better condition , everything cleaned and greased , i want to mention here that in this project has not been used a single new item , from bolt to fuse 

Everything is used , clened and examined and then put back to gether from my experience (owned over 20 TDR's in the past) 

So wheels are on 

 

END OF DAY 1

DAY 2 

So this was the day that we should get the engine on , electrics etc and if we were lucky we might hear it revving 

here is where we left it and already we put the light stay on and cleaned-sprayed the chambers 

 

 

Lights are on and starting to put some electrics like gauges,ignition switch 

 

What a mess 

 

The air filter left to dry 

 

Engine is cleaned and after testing it i think it will work just fine 

 

 The new owner cant gide his happiness as this pile of parts and metal transforms into a motorcycle especially with his help 

 

 

Unfortunately the tank was all rusted and had holes , so we put this to the side until we find a good useable or even repairable tank to end this project with a day 3

END OF DAY 2
