Okay all you enablers. I got 2 bikes. - Page 7

I'm sure that you could easily swap the original CT stuff into the 125 engine, and then the entire original wiring harness would work. If you wanted to use a modern CDI stator in the 125, you'd be converting the system to 12 volt, and that would require new bulbs and a new battery.

katoranger · 11-29-2010, 05:07 PM

There is an adaptor available to mate the original wiring to the lifan stator. You can either convert to 12v or use a special 12v to 6v rectifier and retain all the stock bulbs.

Available at dratv.com

Since mine is missing all lights and wiring is ? I will just do the full conversion to 12v.

Forgot to mention that I stripped the CT down the frame. Sorry no pics.

Concerned the the swingarm mounting area may be slightly tweaked.

No photos! 8O Don't tease us, Allen!

I had enough acorns to fill a coffee can from the inside of the frame. Appears the squirrels liked it.

Those squirrels are going to be angry when they discover you took their acorns! 8O

Is it un-tweakable?

Git 'er done!

Untweaking device:

Weldangrind · 11-30-2010, 02:13 AM

Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I've straightened lots of steel in the past with a large adjustable wrench (Crescent style) and a little heat. The benefit to the adjustable wrench is that it can tighten onto the piece and give you something to manipulate.

I don't know Derryk, Doc's untweaking device looks like more fun... Ok ok, at the cost of precision, but still... Doc, if I ever tweak my arm or some other limb or joint I hope I don't get the fun untweaking tools.

Hopefully you can straighten it out Allen.

SpudRider · 11-30-2010, 02:26 AM

Seriously, I thought even the orthopedists only used the small hammer!

katoranger · 11-30-2010, 09:30 AM

I think I can fix it. The swingarm appears to be about a 1/4" off at the chain adjusters. So I may stick one of the three swingarms in there and attempt to tweak it back into place.

FastDoc · 11-30-2010, 11:11 AM

The insurance only pays for the large untweaking device. 8O

I also use the adjustable wrench trick.It works well. I've not used heat also though.

Weldangrind · 11-30-2010, 11:24 AM

I find that cold steel is more likely to crack. Not a big deal when you have a MIG, but why not heat it and avoid the issue.
