Nice - but not that nice!

I would have expected that it would need to be in near-perfect cosmetic and running condition to even be worth half that.

Pretty neat!

Might want to come up with some better brakes on the front.

I've thought about doing something along those lines at some point.

Keep us posted!

Thanks.

They had not come up in multiple searches.

If what I ordered doesn't pan out, I'll give them a try.

Do you have any experience with them?

Well, this isn't going to be super pertinent now, but this is the gasket set I picked up.

That should be pretty much what I have coming.

I was hoping to find sets listed for the EBE-075 - but nothing. 

Most of the 50 set should fit, but I have another set coming for the head and cylinder base.

hi there, there is a place in holland called EMOT that deals in small cc stuff,google them

Thanks.

I ended up placing an order from Racing Planet for what seemed like the right parts.

I was hoping to talk to a real person before ordering, but their contact reply just pointed me to their website - so we'll see what I get...

 I have a 2002 Derbi Senda 50SM.
 If you find a source of parts please let us know.
 Thanks, Jeff

Racing Planet USA (FL) lists a lot of Derbi parts - but not what I need.

I've been trying to get them to order a gasket set for me, but no luck.

I can't get a yes or no...

I'm not having much luck finding a gasket set (and head gasket) for my 2000 Derbi GPR75 (EBE-075).

Ive tried Treats, Racing Planet, and eBay.  Treats says they can't get it, Racing Planet won't return calls or messages, and the Spanish seller on eBay won't ship to the US.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!




 

Had a chance to ride my buddy's NS400R the other day.  Did about a 25 mi loop.

I would say it's not running quite right, and it was overheating by the time we got back.

Compared to my TZR250, it's much more of a street bike.  The bars and seat are higher, and it feels much more stable.

The power delivery was kinda odd.  It doesn't run well at all below 6000, and at one point on flat ground I was about 5000 and needed to downshift to maintain speed.  It's geared really tall, way taller than the TZR, and it doesn't do well with it.  I was cruising almost 75 mph at one point, probably around 6000, and wasn't in top gear.

It does run well after 7000, and pulls like crazy after 8000 to redline.

He's looking into the issues, but it appears the radiator may be plugged.

He has gone through the carbs, and the jetting is correct.

History and tour of the latest Slimey Crud -

Buddy's NS400R and my TZR are shown at 5:58.

Next gathering is the first Sunday in May.

What oil are you running?

Apex would be fine for the RS.

Guys run 400 Ninjas at Apex. 

My son runs a KTM450 Supermoto and a YZ65 there all the time.

Very cool little track bike!

First time I saw one I was surprised just how small they are.

Are you near the Apex kart track?

Is it running?

Post some more pictures of it.

EDIT:  Are you riding a Derbi in your Avatar?  The pic looks familiar.

Anyone here go to the fall "Crud"??

I took my TZR and my buddy had his NS400R.

Only saw a couple other 2-strokes - an Aprilia RS125 and a Water Buffalo.

Great day and probably over 800 bikes.

Guy from MN, who also has a Bimota VeeDue, showed up with his Bimota DB-1.

[I recieved a bunch of rechromed and zinced hardware and bits.]

It's been painstakingly slow work on this project. 
 Doing a 100% correct restoration is so much more than just mechanical. 
 Today was nice though.
 I recieved a bunch of rechromed and zinced hardware and bits.
 Just sent off big chrome and other plated parts a week ago for refinishing. Actual engine work is ongoing.

Looking good!

Wow - that's a lot of fasteners!

Who did you have do the plating?

Thanks.
