So as well as this site, there is now
– ClassicMXWales the new site for the Welsh Championship
– Bwlch Blog for the non biking stuff
– Bwlch Offroad Parts
so something else to content on.
The Yamaha SC500 has seen some development over the last couple of months, and I’ve managed to build a new engine (also built an engine for someone else). New engine has Boyesen reeds, a recently acquired piston, as well as new bearings and seals through.
It’s also had a make-over, with a plastic tank (like the one on the 250) and new plastics. In the grand scheme of things, very much a straightforward exercise and the engine started and ran from the off.
Currently working getting the 250 ready and trying to solve the power problem with the bike, with a new piston and rebore, as well as a carb overhaul. The TT500 hasn’t seen much effort and the exhaust and valve stem seals are still waiting for workshop time.
6 weeks till the start of the season (for me) and still lots to do. Including work.
