Deja Vu Another Speedfight 2

I can't believe that I've ended up with another pile of crap. I must admit that I do enjoy doing bikes up, so this will keep me active for a while. I won't be spending anywhere near the amount I did on the last one, so this will be a fairly straightforward rebuild..........I hope.

Bad points................. Not as many as I thought when I 1st looked at it. Everything is there, it starts & stops, it just looks like a pile of shite because of the professional teenager spray job
Oh, & it has an alarm!........................ Well, did Quality piece of kit, 2 wires to the battery. It didn't even go off when I disconnected it lol.

Looks like I've got a Speedfight DNA50

Another quality paintjob & cleaning job lol

Can't afford a gasket? Then why not use some exhaust cement instead?

Frame looks in good knick, so there's a positive

 

Nice exhaust bracket


Anti freeze? Whats that?


Now to look inside & see what horrors lie beneath


Surprisingly good in fact


Although I don't reckon much to the hammer work


But I still had another one off the Green meanie

 

where did you buy that one? looks a total mess! look forward to seeing progress!

 

Swapped it with some cash for my Green one as it wasn't selling & I was looking at buying a new camera. It's turned out to be worse than I thought as I found this today. Bit pissed off now, but I'll get it done & shifted on (hopefully)

 

whats the problem? looks like the crank seals been leaking

 

oh wait, just seen the casing is cracked off, common problem with them, will you weld it or buy another case/motor?

 

Probably get another casing, just means a full engine strip now

 

peace of mind doing a full rebuild, knowing the engine will last a lifetime

 

Ok so found the thread lol whats the latest?

 

looking forward to updates!!!

 

IIt's been put on hold for the time being. I was offered a Suzuki GN125 for £200 with a poorly engine, so that is taking the limelight at the moment.

I lost a bit of faith in the Speedy, but will get back onto it later in the year no doubt. I think it will end up being a winter project.

 

I've finished the 125 off for my missus, so started work on the Speedshite again. This will be short term as I've sold my race bike & have bought a CBR600 to do up.

Anyhow, here's where we're up to at the moment. I've bought a 2nd hand crankcase, taken the engine out of the bike & have started work on it.






Nice new gasket set, boy, we are spoiling her lol


New side now fitted, hopefully I can get rid of the iron girder holding the exhaust on now
