Hi guys, my name is Adrian, and I am from Sydney. Its been a very long time coming, and a long time searching and admiring this forum, but I have finally just purchased a tzr 3xv to go with my long time build tz250 3yl.
My garage now looks like the sales brochure. Ha Ha.
This 3xv is an Australian grey import, and has been sitting for a while but is in decent original condition, with only 19,000kms.
I was just going to see if I could get it running, but I think best I slowly do a full strip and rebuild. It will be a full nut and bolt rebuild. It has Chinese fairings sitting on there, but I have full set of originals that I will repair and paint original the same.
Thought I might add some photos of my other bikes. Trx878 big bore race bike, and rz350.
You can see the standard I want the 3xv to end up like. It will be show worthy.
Rz350 is for sale, otherwise the 3xv will just sit here longer, as I need the coin, and my son wants to go racing. So I feel broke already just thinking about it. Its a shame as the rz350 was a nut and bolt restoration aswell, and is very nice.
If I have to quarantine soon for the current situation, it might get pulled down sooner.
So some quick advise from some people with the experience. my plan for the 3xv is not to fully tune it for max power, just perform derestriction mods. I have the tz for high power.
I will first leave it standard for rebuild, then in time would like to add chambers, and cdi.
Would you guys think the power gains from these would not be to much for the standard R crank?
Not for the track, just very spirited road riding.
What chambers people find the best all rounder?
Can you get away with running sugo cdi, or zeel is better option?
Good source for crank rebuild parts?
There seems to be most parts on ebay, but is the centre seal very hard to come by. Different part number to the tz, and the standard R centre bearings seem available, unlike the tz centre.
Thanks for reading, and being apart of the tzr community.
