  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi everyone.

I haven't used my 2005 sm125 for nearly 7 years! It's been sat in the garage feeling sorry for itself. I suffered some sort of too end seizure and haven't used it since. The top end was removed​ so i could inspect the damage. It has been off ever since.
The time and funds have arrive for the bike to be restored and rebuilt. I'm going to be purchasing a kit from Walt to take it to 162cc.

As the top end has been off for years and internals exposed, what's the best place for me to start with restoring the bike? I assume a full tear down of the engine is necessary, if I do, what do i need to inspect, what tolerances do i need to measure, what bearings/seals should i replace?

Whilst i had the too end off i did notice i could move the Conrod side to side a few mm, i don't know if this normal, i suppose it depends what bearings are used on the crankshaft.

Are there any wise experts here who can help and point me in the right direction restore my bike?
I also want to send off the suspension and have that serviced too.i would imagine sat that long has done it no good.

Thanks in advance
 
If the top end has been off for all that time and left uncovered I would think at least a set of mains and seals would be in order but who knows, If the bike was run on a good quality oil they may be fine.
Get hold of the rod and get the crank spinning if it sounds and or feels rough its got to come apart.
As for the rod it is built with a degree of side to side movement but should have none up and down.
Best of luck with the project and how about a pic of the motor / crank ect.
