Two bikes running

The C110 came back from upholstry so I fitted the repaired motor and got all the cables and bits hooked up again.
So this one is pretty much ready for the CRT event in Varsseveld





In the meantime the motor for the RSC90 is all put back together again and fitted to the frame, fired it up and it looks like there is a lot less vibrations with this other crank, which I now will be running without any rotor on the crank to reduce weight.
Stole the front fender back from my SS50 motorcycle.
Gave the exhaust a fresh coat of paint to hide some big scratches.
And my dad built me a new paddock stand to go with the new foot pegs.





Just a few little bits to do, like putting my startnumber on the front.

close ratio gearbox, finally complete

My RSC90 is also on the workbench again, hopefully to have it up and running for next weekend in Varsseveld.
The last time I rode it, there were two things that bothered me:
- the footpegs / groundclearance
- the gearbox

As seen before the footpegs had already been changed, but the gearbox was still an issue.
It had problems shifting from first to second gear, ending up somewhere in between, halfway in neutral but totally stuck until you would kick it up and down a few times and finally end up in second.
And besides that, the gearbox had been changed into a close ratio box, except for first, what meant I had a huge gap between first and second.

So now, I opened up the motor, to finally have first gear altered to achieve a full 4-speed close ratio gearbox as near as I could get it to the original RSC90 gear ratios. While in the meantime altering the shift forks hopefully getting a smooth transition from first to second.

I had already found some gears that could become a first gear in the S90 after grafting them onto S90 parts and my dad made it a reality.
My gearbox now has an SS50 second gear made into an S90 first.
Together with the SS50 3rd/RSC90 2nd as a second gear,
original S90 3rd
and CT200 4th gear
it makes the following close ratio gearbox:

1: 17/31
2: 20/27
3: 22/24
4: 24/23

compared to original S90:

1: 13/33
2: 19/29
3: 22/24
4: 25/22

and original RSC90:

1: 18/30
2: 21/27
3: 22/24
4: 24/23

clearly visible, the difference between the stock 1st gear on top and the diameter of the modified shaft.

Also swapped the crank for a different one, because this motor had terrible vibrations, maybe this could be the solution.


Now to finish the motor and get it back in the frame and I'll have to check everything as a lot of parts had been taken out or used for other bikes in the meantime.

C110 racer in action

Look at what I just found online, pictures from my first event with the C110.
I didn't really look for anything because the bike sadly broke down at the end of training, but apparently somebody had the camera out early.



pictures thanks to the CRT website

The bike is now out to have the seat covered and in the meantime I'm rebuilding the topend of the motor to solve what caused it to break down. Yesterday I had it put back together again only to pull out the threads on the last bolt, causing me to get the cylinder head back off again to fix it. A job for today, together with getting the RSC90 back up and running again, because next event would be nice to ride that bike also.
