This CR125 Is as orginal as I could make it. All the plastics are original 1987 plastics as are all frame and motor parts except piston and rings. The tires, chain and sprockets are aftermarket parts as well as handle bars, but the wheels are original. The seat cover is reproduction of original equipment.</div>

I finally have all the parts assembled to put the top end back together and make this bike look like it belongs in one piece again.<br />
<br />
<br />
I sent the cylinder out to a company in Texas called <a href="http://www.mxratracing.com/" target="_blank">Rat Racing</a> and thanks to Tom it came back looking beautiful and ready to go back together. Tom helped me get the right size piston and I wanted to keep it to as close to std bore as possible so he took all the measurements and decided that we could go .5mm over and clean up the cylinder perfectly with that size.<br />

These two strokes go back together pretty easy, especially after you have done a couple four stroke bikes, the only tricky part can be getting the power valve put in correctly and the one on this bike is an easy one so it didn't take long to put it together.<br />

I had posted a photo of the new seat cover I ordered a week ago or so and finally got to put it on this weekend. The cover fit great but I struggled with getting the staples to go into the seat pan. When I did the seat on the KX I didn't run into this problem, the staples went right into the pan no problem. I think the plastic on the CR pan is much harder than the KX. I got it to work but it is not as clean on the bottom as the first one that I did. If anyone knows of a heavy duty stapler that can set a staple into hard surfaces maybe you could shoot me a message and let me know. Right now I am just using a ET50 Stanley electric stapler.<br />

This photo really shows the only reason for replacing the seat cover, its a pretty bad rip. There is one other very small hole as well but it would have been cool to be able to use the original cover.<br />

The cover came off clean except where the PO super glued the rip to the foam. Its not bad tho only took a small layer off the top of the foam.<br />
<br />
Even the bottom of the cover where it wraps under the pan was in great shape, no tears under the edges.<br />

Not too many bikes make it that long let alone most of the parts like a pipe that often would get smashed in a tip over crash. I actually want to put an aftermarket unit on it. Back in 87 I had Pro Circuit pipes on my Hondas and would like to go that route. Until I can find a suitable unit I will be using the stock one but needed to take this dent out best I could. <br />
<br />
The Dents came out very nicely. You can still see some wrinkle in the pipe up close but once I get a new coat of Satin Black on there it will look pretty darn nice.<br />
<br />
I used the Pressurization technique, had to build some plugs of different sizes with schrader valves in them to ad air, then used my torch to heat the areas I wanted to bring dents out of and it worked great. <br />

It has taken some time to complete the <a href="http://www.kx125project.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">KX125 Project</a> (still waiting on finish decals) but it is time to get this thing done. I sent the cylinder out to be bored and a new +.5mm piston fit to it. Ill have photo report on that when it comes back in a week or so. Here I have a photo of the new seat cover that I ordered almost a month back. It is custom made so it takes a little while to get it once ordered but I did the same for the KX and it turned out great.<br />

I hope to have time to put this on in the next couple days and I will post up those photos as well.<br />
I have ordered a couple other smaller parts to get things moving along, air filter cage and a filter, no need for photos there though.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483605389932245823.post-1167280345141064712012-10-07T19:11:00.001-07:002012-10-07T19:11:33.902-07:00Fuel Tank Refinishing.<br />
It is time to start working on the CR again, I started today with the fuel tank refinishing. I had done the fenders last winter and a few weeks ago I did the shrouds and side panels. Today I ordered the new piston kit and a new bearing for the top end, I have to save up a bit of cash to get the cylinder work done. With any luck and some good ebay sales it wont take too long. <br />

<br />
<br />
In the second photo you can just make out the start of the finish process.<br />
I started with a 320 paper on this tank because the scratches were not very deep. <br />
Then used 400 and 600 if you decide to do this, don't make circles with the sand paper, they are harder to get out and show up easier. Use long motions in straight lines, cross your patterns every once in a while with each grit of paper.<br />

I went to work on the rear fender and the second front fender. I had already put a coat of clear on them after I sanded with the 320 so I went with the 600 grit and sanded them down.<br />
<br />

Most of the methods include sanding and putting a clear of some type over the top to bring back the shine. So that is what I am doing. I have two front fenders to work with and I am going to start with the one that is in worse shape. Although I think they are pretty close to being the same on the front side one of them has some rash on the back side where it was rubbing the frame. In this photo you can see that the fender is a little dull and you can see some of the scratches in it. I am going to start with a 120 grit emery cloth to knock down the deeper scratches and take the edges off. The idea is to not press too hard so that you don't make more deep gashes while you are trying to clean up the ones that are already there.<br />

<br />
After sanding with the 400 I realized that the jump from 120 to 400 was a bit much so it took a little longer to get the desired results with the 400 so on the next one I will do a smaller area with the 120 just on the spots that are already rough then go to a 320 to scuff the lighter scratches.<br />

It is totally not necessary to be so anal about that but I am going farther.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Once that coat of clear is dried I will make the decision as to whether I want to go to 1000 grit paper for the super gloss coat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While the clear is drying on the first fender I started at the 600 grit stage I went to work on the rear fender and the other front fender. I did as I had figured on the first one with the 120 grit I only used it to clean up spots then used the 320 to scuff out light scratches. The rear fender had some pretty deep gashes in it and they cleaned up decent with the paper and a razor blade to get some build up out of the scratches. The blade also helps take off loose pieces of plastic that can take a very long time to sand down. The deep scars that you can see in the rear fender will never come out but with a bit more work it will look pretty good. In this photo it is the first coat of clear at the 320 stage and already looks pretty nice. To the right is the other front fender also at the 320 stage.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ_lyLukoJ_xdEkAkFZuI52wRn78aSFNK4yVAQmE1-1JI_0MBxDTu9EYMRArIdw-Scen1fUvivBbZKPL8lLqGxB9ffHi4pe1A1ViyW3ShfUzmgHIwAiMdv3zWYQUnpgPd_y_hvEZlpBSNQ/s1600/DSCF1588.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ_lyLukoJ_xdEkAkFZuI52wRn78aSFNK4yVAQmE1-1JI_0MBxDTu9EYMRArIdw-Scen1fUvivBbZKPL8lLqGxB9ffHi4pe1A1ViyW3ShfUzmgHIwAiMdv3zWYQUnpgPd_y_hvEZlpBSNQ/s400/DSCF1588.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will post more on this when these parts dry and I can sand and paint again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Actually I have paid for my project bike as of this week and I have some reserves in the account however I also have some very large (large as in expensive, tires, sprockets and chains, Piston kit) items to purchase so I have to save up a few more dollars. Much of the cash is going toward the KX project until that one is finished. Its getting close. <a href="http://www.kx125project.blogspot.com/">www.kx125project.blogspot.com</a> . Now on to the CR.<br />

The strange thing was when I was draining the oil it ran clean toward the end of draining and looked pretty good. My conclusion is that it has sat for so long that the contaminates settled to the bottom.<br />

Then I put several ounces of solvent in and shook that around and pumped them up and down and drained that. It came out pretty dirty and gritty so I did that until the solvent was not so dirty after which I let them sit opened up at the top and bottom to dry the solvent out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To replace the old oil I put in 600cc of the nice green Bel-Ray Fork oil that you see in the Photo above.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back on the Frame they go, Its starting to look like a bike again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Turns out that it was not near as bad as the rear. There was some rust and corrosion on the pads and spring tensioners as well as some corrosion on the pistons. The Oil in the front was actually clean and clear. The level is a bit low but I will wait to add any until I can mount it on the bike. it will be easier to hold and to bleed the system if needed. The biggest thing that needed done on this one was to clean the pistons up so they move freely as well as the pins that slide with the caliper. Once that was done it was ready to put back together and wait to be mounted to the bike.<br />

<br />
<br />
I started by making some new gaskets for the water pump housing and putting those in place along with the pump cover.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I moved on to Dropping the freshly painted bottom end of the motor into the frame.<br />

At some point I will have the oil changed in the shock but for now it is serviceable. I removed the seals from the top bushing and cleaned it out and re greased it, then put seals back in place. Also played with the clickers while the shock spring was removed to see if they worked properly, and yes they do. Finally I mounted the shock in place. I like how the blue looks with the flash red paint.<br />

It seemed a bit froze up. As I pumped the brake pedal in my hand it didn't do anything at the caliper so what else does a person do? Tear it apart and give it a good servicing. Started by draining all the old oil out, it was a bit more brown then it should have been. Then washed solvent through hoses and master cylinder all the way through the caliper till it ran clean. Then put new oil in the system and bleed that through to get the air out. Also cleaned the outside of the hoses, caliper, master cylinder and reservior.

This is the fun part. I still takes a while to do since most of the cleaning and lubing of old parts takes place just before they are put back on the bike, as well as any painting of parts that might need done. There are always those things like motors that need painting and fixing before it will be really complete but I will take it as far as possible while waiting for motor parts or whatever else I might need.<br />

Here is the motor with the clutch and the impeller re-installed. I also cleaned the motor cases with solvent then contact cleaner and smoothed out rough spots with steel wool, then put a coat of hi-temp flat black on as a primer to the gloss black that will be next.<br />

There is no wear on the edges of the basket which to me is one of the bigger signs of a motors use and abuse over its life. As you can see there is some oil left sitting on the hub, I cleaned the gearbox out with solvent and wiped the clutch plates clean before putting it all back together. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Next up tomorrow I will finish cleaning the cases then put a fresh coat of engine paint on even though the wear on the side cover is very minimal in its original state.</div><br />
I also took a moment to put the sub frame on and the foot pegs.<br />
There is a lot of distraction behind the frame so its a little hard to see.<br />

<br />
I started by pulling the water pump cover off because I could see some green build up from anti-freeze and figured there might be some corrosion going on in there. In my typical fashion I forgot to take pics of what that all looked like before I dove in and started cleaning it up. This would all be more interesting if I could remember to do that so you could see actual before and after photos. So Here it is before but its before I even pulled the cover and you cant see into the water inlet to see the green stuff. (actually thought I took that photo but, nope)<br />

There is a small pit on the sealing surface at the bottom, you can see it just below the shaft. There is also a hole corroded all the way through at the bottom of the pump input that is about the size of the tip of a ball point pen. I cleaned all loose material and corrosion out scraping and spraying with solvent multiple times until all the white and green stuff was gone then used contact cleaner to get rid of any other impurities. Then using good old JB Weld filled in the pits and the hole. In 24 hours it will be good as new.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I used 120 grit wet paper to sand down all the exposed and rusted parts to bare metal then used a worn 220 to go over all the painted areas to scuff the surface. Then cleaned the frame with contact cleaner to remove any oils or dust left over.<br />
Any way I did take photos of the finished product. I painted the frame outside where it is a damp 45* , out in the wood shed so I wouldn't get red paint dust all over everything in the garage. I didn't feel like going through the effort of building a makeshift paint booth. Any way the moisture in the air left a chalky white film on the finish as it was drying even after bringing it into the garage with the wood stove going. I used the heat gun to warm the frame up and see if the white would go away when dried and yes it did. Leaving a very nice glossy flash red finish.<br />

Its unfortunate to me to have to do that to a potential restore bike but at the same time that is where my finances are coming from for my other two projects. I have ordered mostley parts for the KX with what little income I have had but I am mostley caught up with the other things going on and now can start cleaning up the 87 CR in preperation for puting back together. <br />
<br />
I found and ordered frame paint in the Flash Red color that Honda used in the mid and earlier 80's, it has not arrived yet but I have started sanding down the frame to remove surface rust and smooth out chips in the paint. I know that most of the restore purists wouldn't do it this way but I don't want to strip it all the way down and recoat with primer and new paint so I am going to over coat it and see how it goes. Especially since I am planning on riding this bike some, super great paint is not at the top of my list. I want it to look nice but also figure if I really don't like it I can re-do paint any time.<br />

Today I finished pulling the Forks and the Triple Clamps off the bike and just like everything else on this bike it came off really easy and still amazed me at how good it looks. Notice in the photo below there is just a few dabs of grease on the bearings and some of it has hardened up a bit. It is the factory 25 year old grease and no rust. WOW! I am so amazed at every thing I have taken apart on this bike, how well preserved it is. I can't wait for the re assembly process.<br />

The bike came apart like it was only a month old. Totally amazing. All the bolts came out easy and even the linkage bolts came out easy and didn't have a touch of rust or wear on them. The linkage bolts had only what looked like the original assembly grease from Honda and we all know that stuff just isn't enough and that's one of the first things that gets attention when you buy a new bike. Crazy enough that the bolts are in new condition even the bolt heads looked like they never had a wrench put on them. I will have to buy a 12mm Allen wrench to complete the dis assembly of the rear linkage then I will go through all the bearings and grease everything up. I don't think any of them will need replaced as every thing moves very freely.<br />

It looks really good. Appears that some water was left in the exhaust for some time. Caused a little discoloration on the piston and cylinder but no damage detected also looks like one end of the ring was broken off, can't tell when that may have happened, no damage to the cylinder walls. Did a complete rinse out of the crank area with solvent. From the looks of the piston it was near a melt down, thankfully it didn't go all the way to that point. The bottom end of the motor feels unbelievably new, very tight, no sloppy bearing sounds at all, pretty excited about that. The cylinder head didn't have any carbon build up on it at all, there was a small amount of carbon in the exhaust power valve unit and the exhaust port to the pipe. I cleaned all this up and put a bit of tri-flow on the cylinder before putting it on the shelf to await a new piston and rings. The only bolt I have found with any corrosion on it at all was the bottom motor mount bolt, and it cleaned up like new with the wire wheel on my bench grinder.<br />
I will take a look at the clutch at a later time.<br />

It was pretty gunked up on the outside and there was some gunk on the inside as well. I don't really know where this stuff came from or what it is. It felt like grease but I can't imagine that it actually was. There was some kind of fluid in the carb and tank but it didn't smell like gas or old varnished gas at all. I don't know what Sta-bill smells like or looks like but was thinking that if some one actually used that and let it sit long enough for the gas to evaporate maybe thats what is left over or the same being that it should have been pre-mixed fuel, then the left over from evaporated gas would look kind of like grease?? It will remain a mistery. Anyway sprayed solvent through all holes and jets in the carb untill everything seemed to flow like it should and re-assembled it and put that on the shelf as well.<br />

Cleaned up the stock exhaust pipe and put a coat of fast black paint on it. It does have a couple small dents that I may consider removing later on. I have a Pro Circuit pipe in a box in Montana that (well I hope its still there) was from the 87 CR I had when I was 17. I saw it a couple years ago when I was at my dads place rumaging through the shop, I told him to put it aside for me if he runs across it. That would be a great addition to this project, especially if I can find a shorty 304 silencer to go with it. Thats the combo I ran back in the day and it was awesome.<br />

So today I pressure washed the 87 CR125 and began the tear down. As anyone with bikes knows you tend to see a lot of little things that may be wrong with your bike when you do a thorough washing. As expected I found a few problems but really I can't believe how well preserved this bike is. I found that the PO had installed the rear brake caliper without hitting the slider mount on the swingarm. Not a problem nothing was ruined because of it. Also noticed that the right side axle adjuster block is missing. Add that to the parts needed list. Finally got enough grime off of the sprocket to see what size it is 54 tooth, can you say trail rider?<br />

Front number plate is a bit rough but wow really didn't see all that much wrong. So back in the Garage the tear down starts, cleaning and inspecting in the process. I took the time to straighten the subframe at the rear fender so it will sit straight and meet the seat correctly. Found another part to put on the need list. The air filter is disintegrating in the box. <br />

I had this same bike in 1987 and was rather fond of it. For years I have wanted to find one and restore it, a while back I finally started a restore project on a <a href="http://www.kx125project.blogspot.com/">1986 KX125</a> (also a bike I previously owned) and knew that at some time I would find the CR125 to do the same. Didn't really think I would find it before the KX was done but the deal was just too sweet.</div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IQo_4viADk4/TvQK3jnkK7I/AAAAAAAAAcs/HvuYVqKBbVw/s1600/DSCF1359.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IQo_4viADk4/TvQK3jnkK7I/AAAAAAAAAcs/HvuYVqKBbVw/s320/DSCF1359.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

Also the chain is super tight, hope that didn't cause any other issues.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-10c63PlIwkk/TvQMG9bVMKI/AAAAAAAAAd0/C2XSTbkFnr8/s1600/DSCF1365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-10c63PlIwkk/TvQMG9bVMKI/AAAAAAAAAd0/C2XSTbkFnr8/s320/DSCF1365.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Also notice in the photos of the frame that there is very little paint worn off at the foot pegs.<br />
