First Generation Ascots > The Thumper Years: Modified To Full Customs
Dutch FT project
hellblom:
About how much did the parts cost for the kickstart? And what parts did you order?
FT500R:
I got everything second hand.
The kickstart axle with all springs, the cilinderheadcover with decompression lever, the right engine case with automatic decompression lever, decompression cable and left engine cover was a total of 125 euros. Think I did get a pretty solid deal on it.
I still have to buy a new stator and some small bits so it will cost me quite a bit in the end.
FT500R:
Good news, I managed to get a second hand stator for a reasonable price so eventually she will run again!
On the down side, DHL has lost my package containing the kickstart axle, both side covers and the cilinder head cover....
Other packages should be arriving today so I will have some stuff to do this weekend but I do hope they will find my big package as these parts where hard to find.
FT500R:
Got delivery of my first parts today.
I got:
- All the engine seals for the kickstart construction and the big seal that goes over the drive shaft. This will leak eventually so I figured it's better to change it now I have the engine open anyway (plus the whole set was a good deal).
- A new (to me) stator, I do need to fix the neutral wire and I hope it will work, it had been lying on a shelf of the guy I bought it from for quite some time.
- Decompression lever and spring for a XL-R so I can fit a manual decompression lever next to the automatic one.
- Set ring for the crankshaft bearing.
- Oilfilters as I really want to replace the one that is in there because it might be filled with metal shavings of the broken teeth (although it is only 50 kilometers old)
The big box from DHL is still missing though..

Nice!
