My First One

Bike Info

JSB2004

 
This bike was acquired as a unused machine that had been standing for several years. The first 7 photos are how we got it, heavy smell of stale fuel and cob webs in all the hidden places. Lots of the exposed metal seems to have been covered with a protective coating or something has been spilt on it which seems to have saved it from to much rust. Before trying to start it the plug was removed and a small amount of fresh fuel poured down the plug hole, carb was stripped and the tank drained and cleaned and filled with fresh fuel.

Three kicks later and it fired up and ran sweat as a nut, now to find out what model it is? Its seems to say 205 on the tank, but its not very clear. We were told it was a 125, but it now believe its a 156cc.
This bike rides really well, but haveing had a close look I found a few problems that I have started to put right, here they are.

I found, cracks around the frame, now welded, cracked handle bar, where the cross bar is clamped on, replaced, I can only guess that it has been well used, will keep an eye out for more cracks. The rear tyre was turning on the rim, found the clamp was rusted away inside, replaced with a modern one. Removed and cleaned all the grease points, as no new grease would go in where it was needed. The brakes are realy sharp, compared to the TY, I may see if there are other pads around for it.

I really would like some tech info on this bike if anyone has any please let me know.
