More progress on my covid project. After much procrastination over whether to split the block and check the crank, I bit the bullet.
Good job i did, crank mains were buggered, along with the water pump seals.
Please, please use coolant and DI water, not shite out of your tap in the coolant...
They're a little cracker of a bike. They use a Rotax 125 2 stroke (this one is a Rotax 122). Same motor as the 125cc karts so all the parts are available.
With a bigger carb, v force reeds and a decent pipe, it should make 32-34 bhp. [emoji23].

Nowhere near written off. Both the Mrs and my cars were hammer last year. She lost front and rear screen and the dings were that bad it broke the paint in lots of places.
My 6 month old UTE was $12k and her 18month old Kia was $15k to fix. Neither written off.

I'm based in Sydney.

I have the need for a fluid trainer to do some post injury training.
I know it's going to kill me on the inside, but it's something I have to do to get some ride fitness back before risking more injury on the trails.
Any of you good peeps know of a fluid trainer (not mag or smart) that...
