MV24's Motovert 125 build

[motovert24]

I've been thinking maybe I could adjust THe sag like I did on my kx, might work. My kxf is Afew mm lower then it was when I got it Afew adjusting it

**** mate not good but yeah could of been a lot worse, hope your feeling better soon. One of my mates lost his uncle after riding into a barb wire fence, he didn't even see it not a good story. Anyway hope the bike pulls through without needing to much money spent on it.

Yeah hopefully won't cost alot, just got service which was a rip off, few days later its backfiring and getting harder to start
Didn't wanna touch the valves as there shims not adjustable like the pitbikes
But going to have to learn how to do it

That sux about the crash mate, better sit in a chair an take no risks for the rest of the week till next Sunday hey. Hope that knee heals up quick.

Ive been slaying dragons on xbox so ill do that for afew days i think hahah. Had a little ride today on the motovert but kept stalling and clutch was still wrong so only rode it for a minute.
Will try finish it tomorrow

 

[motovert24]

Looks abit bad with those wheels but I thought I'd try them on this bike and seeing I liked it,
Couldn't really test it but thought it went pretty well, think it sits better now with the smaller wheels with that shock
Unforntally the chain came off and bike felt like something else broke like a gear but dad rode it and seemed ok, he gave me to the pitpro to ride and the motovert felt heaps better even with the 12/10
Broke some casing and chain adjustment bolt
My bad lucky continues lol but easy fix
Brakes are pretty bad, have a spare LXR brake so might try mod that onto it ad there gpx forks same ones As The lxrs just smaller length

Finally fixed the wobble, lathed and put a thick washer so it could tighten up now its a tiny little wobble.
Also fixed the difficult starting and stalling/backfiring problem. The rubber carby adaptor was ripped off on one side. Had a spare from the PE28 for the LXR and goes heaps better.

Little ride on the front yard grass, still suffering from the crash and no brakes and chain came off for some weird reason I didn't want to take it to far again. Bike hasn't been like this for 3 years finally can ride it without issues besides brakes. The gpx black label brake was abit disappointing, terrible stopping power.
Needs a little more Clutch adjustment still feels like it slipping a little, late take off.

Little bit of throttle, got a fair bit more power then the pitpro (lifan150)
Chain adjuster bolts broke, only just realized the other day that when I had the swingarm replace the shop also took the bolts out of the old one and put them in the new one. Had to drill out the old swingarm as they broke so the bolts were way to long for the new swingarm.. Causing them To break off, little problem but have same
Problem with a new swingarm I got with no adjusters at all. Little annoying

Might try see tomorrow if the old LXR brake will line up.

Good stuff man!!

 

[motovert24]

Put 14/12s back on it, got more fuel lines for it to.
Kept stalling last night once it ran out of fuel
So thought the line was too short and replaced
It still won't start, going to put a new spark plug In it and clean carby, maybe valves to

 

[motovert24]

Fixed that stalling problem awhile ago, was the killswitch fouling, fixed that started first kick.
Still have a kick start problem (have no idea what it could be no @
kickstart broken gears)
Been riding it on the track I made and its awesome, alot of fun rear shock was way to hard and high for it.
Got a new rear shock for it again, fastace again but a 250lbs heaps better.
Tried bleeding the front brakes but they just got worst, but riding it today they started to work alot better.
Put a new rear brake on it, didn't fit but pull the resivor off the old one and put it on the new brake, seems to work good so it was the piston seized on the old brakes I think.
Clutch still seems to slip in second and third. Might try the Daytona plates I've got in it.
Put the LXR brakes on it but they were out of Fluid I think. No pressure.
Goes pretty good besides those small problems, Wheelies out of the ruts every time and on the straights

So finally 100% works after 3 years, just to fix the clutch slip and finish the lxrs broken piston and valve..

 

[motovert24]

Soon as I finished it after this post it deside not to start.. Lol
Still yesterday got it to start. Was bogging a fair bit but made Afew changes and seems to run pretty good besides the clutch slip.
Had my first ride with everything working to, really fast bike
Hard to keep the front wheel down
Going to take it to Parwan on Sunday

[motovert24]

Took it to Parwan today, really happy with it. Handles heaps better and can do the jumps good. Bit hard with full size mx boots need some 50 boots
Tried to fix the clutch last night but the old problem with the clutch not return came back, fixed it this morning but still hard to kick over and still revs to high once over 1/4 throttle

 

[motovert24]

12/10 wheels, swapped throttles with the Lxr. New carby slide
Think the clutch slip is gone now to

 

[motovert24]

 

[my67xr]

i think i see your problem with the back brakes.....
no rear disc !! lol



nah seriously, the bike is looking sweet now, that rear caliper looks huge too !

 

[motovert24]

Yeah it was hitting on the caliper so I gave up and took it off, same with the Lxr I took the caliper off as its the motoverts wheel and stopped working yesturday. Lxr popped 2 tubes so had to put the motoverts wheel on.

 

[motovert24]

has anyone tried running 160ho clutch plates in the gpx125 clutch?
or found a place where you can buy the whole clutch kit? dhz say its just a yx150-yx160 clutch but its got a completely different shaft and had 4 plates in it..

few months ago pull the exhaust apart to see if the packing is gone as its so loud but still looks pretty normal. also fixed the wobble in the shock. dont know how i used to ride it, even with a dud clutch its pretty lively
