True COST of a 90's 2-Stroke! TZR Rebuild - Part 17 (FINAL)

[@trevorphillips3055]

You can't beat working on your bikes yourself. I enjoy working on mine as much as I do riding them. I've bought two of mine back from the dead, It's really satisfying and a great sense of achievement. Good to see the tzr back on the road. I hope you have many happy miles of riding on it. 😊

@@trevorphillips3055 looking back on some of the build pics and how the bike looks now it is very satisfying, I agree. I think now I’ve pretty much done everything (including fork rebuild that was prior to the channel) I’m much happier working on bikes. I can take one maintenance job at a time now and be more chilled about it. I’m not sure I could do another one like you have though. It’s been a long journey!!

That's a big list for sure! Totally worth it though I know the feeling. I just seized my 1kt F3 spec :( Just a cold seize though from the looks of it. I got the aluminum transfer off with muriatic acid and after a hone the cylinders had no damage! Just waiting on some new wossner pistons to arrive to get her back together and with a lesson learned! Thanks for sharing and I hope to see more 2-stroke content in the future.

@@PurpleMonkeyWaffle Thanks for your support! I’ll certainly bring more 2T to the channel. I have neglected my RD! Great news the barrels were not damaged, and the crank too. Wossner are a lifesaver here as NOS pistons are crazy prices on Yahoo auctions and doing a lot of this work yourself not only saves money but at least you know it’s done right!

I completely sympathize, I (until recently) daily commuted (in devon) on a 2T kmx 125 (94), after 4 years of that (and not having any money (or spare time)) I got a 4t wr125, Heck its a quarter the cost (and about half the fun)- the kmx needs work doing to it (over winter hopefully), so I will just use it when I need to get rid of the cobwebs (Mental Health). Ride Safe and Enjoy

@@mrburn6119 it’s great to have 2T & 4T!!! I use 2T for commuting very rarely, 4T wins that but as for finding life - it’s 2T all the way!! Good luck with the rebuild, keep the motivation up best you can!

[@mrburn6119]

@@mototoki well put about the 2t I think everyone has their own daemons and struggles and going out on the 2T just makes me happy with everything again

Good to see her finally back on the road mate👍sounds sweet. another 2 stroke revived😎 You have a speedo exactly like mine🤣 She's run in now then?😎🥳

[@mototoki]

Thanks 🙏 Yeah those speedos attract really big rain drops, even when it’s dry, we must have got them from the same place. Odd that! Yup, all run in and probably time to jet down a size but I think I’ll dyno dial that in 🦖😎

@@mototoki Are you going to canada heights bike night next week?

[@mototoki]

Not this time. I finish work at 5pm and it's about 2hrs away. Next year for sure & I'm doing Sammy Millers (which I missed this year also!) Probably make a Box Hill Sunday before too long though!

[@2wheels2strokes]

Its worth it in the end for a 2 stroke. It just is 🙂

[@mototoki]

Whatever it takes!!!!
