So, some lock down progress for you all. Hoping to spend a glut of time on the bike this weekend. Hopefully an update on Sunday evening. I should have a nice phosphoric acid before and after photo to show. The number plate holder is currently in the acid bath. Have a good weekend everybody!

I'm in Longstanton, just west of Cambridge

Hi All, I thought you would like to see some pics of my Sachs XTC 4 stroke rebuild. (52 plate) The plan is to: Rebuild it and get it MOTed (note: this is not a full restoration, just want to get the full MOT ticket on it) Record all up weight of bike Stick it on the dyno to record stock power. establish power to weight ratio. Modify it - both engine and chassis - details to follow - but basically lightening the bike and a torque / power increase. Record all up weight of the bike. Stick it back on the dyno. New power to weight ratio Keep running round that loop until I get bored! I know they're not the best bikes in the world in terms of build quality and riding position, but I like the aesthetic and quirky Ducati type look. I have two of these bikes, one bought running and complete about 8 years ago and one bought with fire damage about 6 years ago. I'm going to make one good bike and use the other bike for doner / spare parts. Already had to rob a few, I have one cracked cyclinder head (pictured - between spark plug and exhaust valve and one with a scored cam housing. I hope you enjoy the thread as it develops, hopefully in a few years it will be a beautiful machine. P.S - Anyone with any parts for sale, please get in contact

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone

Hi all, I've just joined so thought I would say hello - Hello! I've got a project to post in the restorations / project section of the my Sachs XTC 4 stroke. It says Newbies are welcome to say hello in this section of the forum but I see no other posts..... am I missing something here or do they get deleted. perhaps to keep things tidy? Anyway I'll, start a project thread in the projects section other the next few days. Happy riding!
