Derestricting my TZR 250 3XV RS

[jamietzr250r]

Wow dude well done, just looking at the bike I can see the headstock looks wrong....

As for hoses dare I say coloured ones from Ali express?? Samco are far too expensive

Had good luck with the gpi one's you see on ebay so far.

I used this pipe, seems to cope with bends ok when fitting 3ma rad to 2ma .

In the UK, make your own custom hoses using various elbows and connectors from this lot https://www.autosiliconehoses.com/silicone.html

No surprises there isn't a full kit out there, thanks for the resources guys. I'll measure up and get on this!

Oh a kit! Thanks! It's off eBay.com rather than eBay.co.uk, hence why I couldn't find one when looking. Ordered a red set and it's coming from China free shipping, so will be here in a couple of weeks

I have had a set on my spr for awhile 1200 ish miles now no issues. Would recommend using silicone hose style hose clamps. The ones with the teeth cut into them.

Teeth = has those hole openings in the band the clamp grips on to.

Silicone hoses usually have a smooth band surface and different clamp. So it won't dig into your hose when tightened.

Thanks! I hadn't considered this. The shop Phil sent over has these and they won't split the hoses! https://www.autosiliconehoses.com/hose-clips-t-bolt-hose-clamp-w1-zinc-plated-w4-stainless-steel.html

Here's the video of taking all the junk off the TZR ready for frame straightening. It'll certainly help me more than taking pictures of everything when it comes to reassembly and may (?) be of use to others

I'm sure many of you will be shocked/appalled at how I remove the throttle cable & rear brake... I apologise, but I don't want to pull everything to tiny bits is my defence in advance

And here it is!! Note to those in the UK, you have to go to eBay.com, not eBay.co.uk and it's still free shipping (all from China anyhow)

Thanks Rick & also Phil for the clips.

The bike is at Mototliner and I called Tommy there to check he was happy ("Yes, that arrived this morning, I can see it's bent") and he's going to get to it in a few weeks time after the stack of bent WSBK and BSB super bikes have been straightened again after pre season testing!

[SouthCoastRich]

All straight again.

So far I've spent £700 plus VAT at Motoliner.

Bent and squashed frame, oval headstock, bent forks, yokes, front disc wheel.

18mph crash. These bikes are light with a few drawbacks.

To be fair, unless we've owned a bike from new or are absolutely convinced of its history, few of us are likely 100% sure of its condition.

At least you know yours is straight and true now (albeit a painful path), looking forward to seeing it back on the road at the meets in the summer
