So I picked up this beat up old boy last weekend.
Stripped it all out this weekend and will be trying to build it into some sort of enduro machine.
Bought it as a non runner, opened the top to see the piston broke a piece off, which then promptly found its way into the bottom section and wedged in between the crank and the casing.
Stange enough I found quite a bit of metal in the gearbox as well.
Was told it is a 2004 but I believe it to be a 2002-2003 as the front forks are 46mm at the bottom end. From what I found on the net the 2004 should have a 48mm fork setup.
Steel frame, alu subframe. Doesn't look to bad until you start taking it apart.
Will need a front fork rebuild, linkage rebuild, wheel bearings front and back, new sprockets, chain, complete rebuild kit top and bottom including all the bearings and seals, new clutch, new water pump and some fresh, hopefully restyle to 2016ish, plastic kit.
It looks to be a weighted flywheel already.
Does someone have any info on how the stock gears should be? I want to change it to a WR gear set for enduro, I just need to make sure it doesn't already have it in.
Anyone have a website or shop in the Durban area that I can order spares at? I usually use Perry's but haven't seen the aftermarket stuff I want there.
Anyway, here are some pictures.
