Can't wait to hear your ride report  :lol:
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

there is still some work, but a little ride without rear brake over the field says ... it runs like hell... :-D

 i´m still missing the ordered lower rear shock bearing in the mail. and then it goes straight to twinshock and evo-cup-race on sunday with the ´83 as backup-bike.  8-)

just made a new rear brake. i pulled out the old front-caliper from my ´83 and its the same like 87 on the rear... i had in my spares an 88 nissin- master-cylinder and a 2000 brakehose ...  in the future i wiill try to bolt on a newer rear-caliper for better brake-performance.. :-D

back from the race: 1. word to the engine: "hammertime" its amazing powerful for an 26 years old rocket :-D  2. word to the bike: my new love. 8-)

we startet in deep mud in the morning and after big rain, that made the mud to unrideable bottomless mud-soup, the race was canceled.
bike is on the upside real good cleaned up from the rain.  :mrgreen:

thanks...  :-) front and rear fenders are original from gasgas ec300 ´99-2002 . on the gasgas were used the same subframe, numberplates and fenders like on the kx125/250 ´94-´98 but in diferent colour. i love the match of blue and green on my bike and with a little bit modifying on the rear fender it was done after 30 minutes  :-D. in aftermarket are only green fenders available for the ´87 kx-models .

here is an older pic of 2009 were i used the fenders first on my 97 kx  :-)
