Loved this. Watched the whole thing from start to finish. I'm impressed by your patience and dedication. However I would like to point out a few things you can do better on the next resto. First thing I'd like to mention is your constant use of the impact wrench. Its fine to use it on everything when taking it apart but try to use normal hand tools putting things back together! Next thing, which could be very dangerous, is the blob of liquid gasket that fell into the casing near the cam. If that cures and ends up in an oil channel its game over, so just be a bit more careful when applying liquid gaskets. I wouldn't advise reusing oil filters, you could have replaced it with I believe a hf131 hiflo filter for a fiver. I saw the brake disk flex when you put it on the hub (baaaaad). Could lead to a warped disk which is a waste of 25 quid. Never put engine case/cover or any bolts in the engine in with an impact. Its an aluminium case wich has threads with a similar strength to a bar of chocolate. They strip sooooo easy. And im sure those bolts out of the valve cover should be torqued to specific values. Oooo and you could have masked a few more things while painting. I also recommended red for the spring, looks gooood. I can highly recommend you learn how to cerakote. Things like the calipers, casings, oil filter cover, shock springs and forks would look absolutely gorgeous if you used cerakote. The finished parts would blow your mind. You do need to make an oven or buy a cheap temp controlled electric cooking oven (NOT microwave lol) to cure the coat though. And obviously an air compressor + air gun for spraying. Buuut other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the video and I'm really impressed by the result. Loved the home made panels too, adds character. I need to know what paint you used on the engine it looks sickk! I wish I had access to a welding rig like yours though, damnn. Keep up the good work, can't wait to watch more vids from you! Add me on instagram dan_l9000. I'm going to start restoring my lexmoto adrenaline. It has a dr125/gn engine too lol. Would love your input on things if we ever talk
Hi Dan thank you very much for you comment yeah I knew not to use an impact on alli but am lazy and always go very easy yeah cerakoteing is awesome think I will make my own powder coating cabinet at some point. Nice I have a lexmoto hunter at the moment the adrenaline’s look really cool and prob the cheapest 125 supermoto U prob already know there Chinese copy’s of dr 125s also pretty much same as a Sinnis Apache really common engine size u could put a dr 200 or dr 250 in it if u wanted more power might even be able to use the original wiring harness tho your prob on a cbt so wouldn’t be strictly legal. Would give you my insta but want to remain anonymous really I’m sure u understand
should invest into a electric impact wrench make life easier loosing hard nuts to remove and for a exhaust look for old pulse/lexmoto adrenaline and sinnis apache as they use the same engine and most parts
Most lads your age out smoking weed getting pissed with mate your going about life the right way mate keep at it
