stomp xlr yx160 supermoto

[Tomdsm]

hi and welcome to my thread about my super moto build
recently i went to stretton and watched the sm pit bikes and fell in love i have had may bikes over the years but never a motard so i thought nows the time
so i went on the interweb and found a xlr 160 for 270 and managed to get the seller down to 240 happy days.
with nothing wrong with it (so i was told) i picked it up and brought it home it was only when i got it in the garage i noticed it had no wiring it wasnt a major problem so i went on line ordered a loom and racing cdi that turned on plugged it in and hurray it started the carb was all effed up so it had a crap idle and when reved would bog but seeon fixed it with a bit of messing the problem came when i tried to put it in to gear and it did nothing so i had a mess with the clutch cable and still nothing so i took the clutch case of all looked fine. couldnt understand why it was messing about so in the end my uncle said we will rip it apart and do a complete rebuild


so i found out why it would go into gear as soon as i pulled the right case of

old vs new

so with that found i then started searching for the metal chunks witch to my amazement had ended ip in the oil screen by the sump and not damaging anything

good job - 2nd hand can be a gamble, but you got it cheap enough.

You planning on racing or trackdays? There is a stock 160 class for racing, worth remembering before you through a high comp piston or whatever and then can't race in anything other than open.

You'll love it mate, it's great fun - cos the bikes are small and low on power you can really push them hard.

Is it supermoto;d already or have you got to convert it?

It'd just a standard piston mate I had a look on the nmrcc website and saw that so I have chosen to go completely stock and ye racing hopefully will start with track days
And I'm converting it after the engine is rebuilt☺☺
