hi, I've had my nsr since April its a 21se low mileage with very tidy bodywork. I've had a couple of real tatty (as they were v cheap buys) none honda 2 strokes back when I used to race and they were great fun and as I had some riding ability then I could show the boys on the big bikes how to ride the lanes up our way. Anyway after a couple of years without any bike I decided to get myself a honda, I hadnt really researched which bike to get just wanted an attractive 2 stroke and ideally an mc28 but as I couldnt find one in my price range I ended up with the 21se. After picking the bike up I used it a few times up the lake district and loved it although I knew it needed the suspension sorting out and at some point a top end overhaul, but it looked mint, sounded great with dogfighter cans and most of all put a smile on my face. Anyway it sat in garage for a while at the inlaws whilst I worked on my house over the summer then when I had a garage at mine to put it in I went for a local ride on the way over and it broke big time in the engine dept! I've never had to strip one down before but heard they are easy to work on so thus its time to learn the ins and out of a 2 stroke, I just kind of wish it wasn't on my pride and joy but needs must and I know the experience I gain from this will stand me in good stead for the future.
I have the winter to get it sorted so plan to strip the motor right back and replace all bearings, seals and such like as well as doing all the sensible mods that are recommended like airbox and proper set up of carbs and anything else I recommended on here. The suspension will get a good overhaul or switch out to better components like maybe rs forks as I think suspension is an area that's often overlooked but makes a huge difference to any bike.
I've already been using the search function and reading loads of old post to try and glean as much info as possible but i will be asking loads of questions most probably mundane to you guys but I hope you will be able to help and get me fluent in nsr 2 stroke ish! I'd got the bike with the intentions of Sunday blasts and some track days but once I got it thought it was to clean to trackday, anyway since joining here I've realised there are a lot of you guys using v nice machines on the track and there is a good community of you lot on here and i really want to come and play on the tracks and get involved.
