James in Brum Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I’m inspired. As soon as I have finished dealing with my insurance crap I shall sell the 125 and go and pick up my CD175 from my father in law, take it apart and probably fail to do any more but have intent at least.

Mickly Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 You’ve all got it wrong, it’s actually done in reverse.The ‘after’ picture is how it started and the ‘before’ picture is how it ended up having taken tips from Itchy Bum Moto YouTube videos & wiring advice from our favourite resident expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Greta Thunberg Would be proud. But where did the nut fall from at 31:17 and why was the front disc changed for the pictures at the end.It was a fantastic rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Just watched this again . The mouse nest in the gearbox ! The guy's technique of using a hammer on the screwdriver is something worth noting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
