Greetings, Everybody.
I´m Elias from Germany, currently 24 Years old and i usually stem from a Classic Motocross/ Enduro Background
Generally i´m interested in older 2-stroke bikes, thus the Japanese twins caught my attention.
got an abandoned MC16, which i found in extremely poor condition.
The previous owner began transforming it to a Racebike (shortening the Subframe, removing lots of parts).
I´m determined to get it on the road again. collecting all the parts, i`m missing for now
(In Germany, theres basically NOTHING availlable, since the MC16s were never oficcially sold here).
Since i´m new to the NSR community, i really lack a lot of inside knowledge and hope to gain it here.
My main problem for now are the papers, which i don´t have. If anyone yould be willing to sell a MC16 Frame with papers, i were happy to buy it.
otherwise if theres an official datasheet anywhere, incluiding power@RPM, emmission, loudness data and so on, that would help me a great deal. (German regulations are a pain in the butt)
Furthermore the previous owner swapped an entire MC 18 Ignition system into the bike. I already managed to get it running, RC Valve is working.
Problem here is, that i can´t get a tachometer reading. I connected the RPM Output of the MC18 CDI (Y/GN wire) to the RPM Input of the MC16 tacho (B/Y wire).
I cannot get a reading that way. I don´t know if either the CDI or Tacho are broken or if they deal with different Signals (Voltage or PWM...)
I don´t have an oscilloscope, so i can´t measure the CDI output for PWM Signals. Measured with a Multimeter it shows about a 0,1 to 0,7 V Voltage dependent on rpm.
Hope there´s some expert here to help me. Alternatively i will have to swap an MC18 speedo into the MC16 Dash.
Oil Pump was removed by the previous owner as well. I planned on Running premix anyways (As i already do this on all my other bikes), but is there anything, i have to keep in mind when doing so?
Front Brake setup is missing. And nowhere to be found for sale. Got MC18 Rotors and CBR1000 Calipers, which i will have to mill the mounts for myself.
(Studied Mechanical engineering, so designing and manufacturing custom parts is always manageable)
Parts i´d like to buy:
Mirrors
Front Brake setup
front and rear fenders
Front center cowling
speedometer cable
passenger seat and footpegs
Rear cover (Behind passenger seat)
alternatively single seat conversion cover
stock subframe
(frame) with papers
headlight assembly
I will attach some pictures of my Project, so you can see, what rough shape she´s in.
Sorry for the mess in the garage. Just moved in there and it´s not a lot of space
I´m Happy to have joined the NSRWorld community and together we´ll get her back on the road again.
Thanks in advance.
