The Zephyr Zone

Hi all! A little update. I think I've found a replacement lower crank case. Now can someone reassure me that's what I need and I can actually change this?! Oh and thanks for letting me know about your tank, but I think I'm all good with the one I have now. Sorry it took so long for me to see your me...

Forgot to say, interesting that you encountered the same issue @fishrider, is this is known zephyr issue?

So frustrating!

Hello all! Sorry for the radio silence! I had a small mental breakdown (sort of joking, sort of not!) after discovering the breakage, and I walked away from the bike for a while for my sanity! Teamed with a concerted effort to spend less time online, I neglected the forum - apologies for that! I've ...

That sounds.... Bad.

I am really pretty gutted about it tbh.

My planned road trip is looking less and less likely.

Made a grim discovery today. Gearchange shaft sleeve has sheared. That'd explain the excessive play in the shaft movement and I'm guessing the ultimate cause of the failed seal/gasket around the shaft. Off to sweet talk my welder neighbour again to see if he can fix it for me. It took 3 hours to get...

Ok you had me worried then as the welding is already done, but I had only removed the battery, not disconnected anything else... So far I've checked everything I knew worked before and it all seems fine! (Fingers crossed) So with the welding done it means I can start fabricating all the back bits th...

Thanks for this. I drew the same conclusion looking at it, I think it's that little seal that's gone. Annoying but doable. Meanwhile I've gone backwards to go forwards. Started taking the wheels off to take for tyre fitting, and then my neighbour was able to help with welding the frame. So I've pull...

NEXT ISSUE (More nervous laughter) Worrying about my clutch. So when I fitted the new clutch cable I wasn't convinced I hadn't done something weird with the clutch cable arm connector bit (technical term). It just didn't feel right to me, but I don't know what right should feel like so I ignored it....

Just realised I've written all this on the electrical post when I meant to write it in my project post. Doh.

Copying and pasting over there now...!

Oh I could hug you guys lol. So I just checked it was in neutral, hit the button and bam it tried to fire. It blew out one of the plastic gloves I've been using to stop crap getting in the exhaust ports, which I think is good?! (Nervous laughter) I have a neutral light too so that's all good. BUT NE...
