Replace Timing chain set myself for the 1st time.

1st time DIY change my bike chain set. Take much longer time than expected and making some stupid mistakes along the way but I happy to learn something new.





Cut 2mm too short so have to "fix" it by using 2 master links.

Fork replacement and still in process of finding the ideal amount of fork oil.

Damage Tobaki Fork



Try cheap or economy (if that sound better) RM70 fork


DIY fork replacement


Replace the existing darken oil with Faito 15W fork oil, still testing for the ideal amount, this take time.


By the way one of the fork's bottom screw not working properly, can't tighten or loosen it no matter what. Definitely a regret buy.

Replace my year old tires with RM95 combo set include shipping with valve & sealant solution, have to do it around petrol station though for easy access to tire inflator.

Acceptable quality no matter dry/wet consider the price and only time will tell how is the durability.

After return 3 under perform budget forks within a month I decide to just go Tobaki again. No more budget fork for me. Too much trouble for just RM45+- cheaper.


Also saying goodbye to my absorber.



And replace my 10 yrs cushion seat

Never thought I doing this like 6 months ago but somehow manage to get it done finally with the help of all those tutorial videos. Take on & off a week. Is it worth the effort with all the energy/ time spend ?? I don't know but don't care because I decide to do it myself anyway no matter what.

All the overhaul parts + fuse hose + brake. The fuel hose + brake installations are just a piece of cake while the piston / head and engine overhaul part is the real challenge.


Use back the Ori Camshaft & Rocker arm


10 yrs old piston and valves


10yrs Cylinder Block. The cylinder looks surprisingly ok after rough 10 yrs usage


Gear shaft replacement


The process that drive me crazy



My 1st overhaul attempt finally done. Need to replace crankshaft in the future though whenever my financial allow.

Speedometer replacement: One step closer to fully revive my MR1.
