TZR 125R 4HW Fully restored

[TZRtim]

Ivgot either 2x painters that can paint tank and bodywork or i hire my work associates spray booth and get the paint myself , getting the custom decals is going to be diifficult i think . But at the moment just want to get it ran in . I may have to buy a ebc front brake disc as funny this hong kong one feels pulsing / rough when used ? Its brand new and so are pads so not sure . Probable shouldn't of taken the gamble and bought proper from the off !!

Was all the powder coat off the wheel on the disc mounting points, Maybe just not perfectly seated disc

[TZRtim]

Yes i carefully cleaned the face mount point with a sharp chisel , as even tho id told the powder coaters NOT to media blast & paint those points they just taped up the studs and did anyway  !! And when rob fitted tyres i asked him to cheak the trueness whilst rotating , it was only 3 thou out from memory . So wasn't enough to cause alarm . I may try the old disc tho just before i spend 175 odd tho 

Iv done 250 miles now so gave it some gas today and its clear that jetting / too rich / or PV not quite right as it didn't really want to go past 8k , and its abit boggey when pulling off so it needs a tune id say. There wasn't the magic 7k 2 stroke p-band either soo ?. Which iv been longing for . more stuff to sort

I've had disc judder/wapping before from uneven mounting faces between the fork stanchons and the brake clapier. Just one to check.

I have a magnetic mount and runout gauge if you want to see if it's the disc on the wheel.

[TZRtim]

That could put mine at rest and know for sure if it's the cheap disc or mount surfaces. Don't think your far ? PM me if I can pop over be nice to meet you  cheers

Little update , yan in the end i just ordered a EBC which is fitted and its fine . Bought from there website so cheaper than the ebay one's - they may be copys too ?

Bike now has zeel fitted and carb tweaked its giving a healthy 28.6 . It feels fairly fast , well faster than before dyno etc.

So today i dropped it !!!    , was going to bike shop to get sum 2T decided to lube chain before i went . On paddock std . In first , had to flip side stand up to get it to start . But forgot to put it back down . FKN  BOLLIX  S[]ÏT  F@ÇK ... Only real damage was LH peg sheard off. Scratch to mirror and bar end but thats it .

Reminded me when i had a lovley gsxr400r and did that at the petrol pump only to be sat but pinned between the pump and bike . Take care guys lol .

Bummer, at least the front brake is sorted.

[TZRtim]

Got round to sorting my pegs today. The copy 3xv ones or bust so they were out , but I had bought a different pair from demon, they looked ok but didn't fit properly. So visit a fabrication guy who ally welded some extra material so I could file down until the desired angle \ position was acquired. They now fitted but didn't take a pikky on the bike

[TZRtim]

Entering the final stages in restoration. Met the painter today , showed him the bike with the fairing on ! for the first time in ages. Iv clocked over 900 miles now and she's always been half naked. Suppose it was easy to check for leaks and loose bolts etc. Just have to acquire the paint from a place in Gloucester he said where it was but I can't remember the name! Near the docks anyway. Here are a couple of piks today after another ride to Wales/ Abergavenny. I'm really enjoying riding it ATM . It's fun. Love it

Been  ;working every day now for 3 weeks and finally I allowed myself an afternoon off to fit the now painted and vinyl bodywork to my beloved tzr , fitted, quick wash cleaned wheels etc then threw my boots gloves jacket etc then went for a little parade around in to Cheltenham. Bloke at till at petrol station was like oh my god a tzr lol yep ! 2_1\2"odd years it's taken I said. He had an f reg one back in the day he said. It turned quite a few heads I love it !!! Worth the hard work and swearing etc
