This is now a megelli thread, I'm happy to hear absolutely anything to do with this bike, info and custom bikes are really limited and recently purchased 2012 model bike I'm going to be changing the bike a lot and wanting to eventually be able to completely strip it down and rebuild it. as i make changes i will update this thread and hopefully help someone else aswelle the only real problems i have faced since buying this bike that I've been unable to fix is a leaking sump plug, and a lot of the fairings around the body have snapped off parts where the bolts go through, making it difficult to put back together. megelli fairings and parts are really hard to find so wondering if anyones got a better way i can fix this besides maybe fibre glassing a new bolt hole.
For the leaking sump plug buy a crush washer to suit. You'll have to change the washer every time you remove the plug but hopefully that will seal OK. To repair the fairing, in a well ventilated area (as this crap causes cancer, seriously), melt cable ties with a soldering iron onto the affected area. For added strength melt in bits of coathanger offcut (or some other moderately strong wire that won't melt at soldering temperatures).
put teflon tape on thread. white is the thinnest, next is pink[my choice]and the last is yellow for gas fittings and is the thickest.as for fairings- best of luck.
where are these postings going? to repair fairings_if you have the lugs use plaspex from the states. cheaper than oz.for the sump plug use pink teflon tape on thread.
cheers stu! that whole zippy thing crossed my mind but I'm legit missing the entire little female part of the fairing it snapped clean off by previous owner. if only wrecked or fairings weren't impossible to find!
look at ebay as a south australian wreker was scrapping one out last year or look at damaged auctions.
yeh can't seem to find anything, have you got any fairings ? and whats with the whole no fuel gauge no temp gauge... is this normal
fuel gauge has a sender unit in tank.temp-dunno as have not ridden my megelli,s for months.any spare fairings i have are like yours. suggest you fibreglass back of them and remake lugs.
google and you shall find!! http://www.motorcyclewreckersonline.com.au/bikes_megelli.htm also a few threads on here regarding Megelli's and aftermarket parts! here's two: http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/2010-megelli-parts.2998/ http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/megelli-250r-lc-performance-upgrades.330/ Have fun, i look forward in watching your project come along
It depends where it's broken but if it's just tabs you could gumtree around and find some old fairing with a similar size and "plastic weld" it back on. Dodgey as hell but if it's on the inside of the fairing, who cares right?
hi u wanna sell the motor does any one no hell to set the valve timing and how to reline the cam chain in the head
valve timing -clearances are 6 thou inlet, 8 thou exhaust.cam chain i have not touched. google zongshen as they make the motor.
Hi risky I have a megelli 250r I have just rebuild the engine problem I have is I can't fine a manual do u now how tight is the head gasket bolts are nm
no idea, google crossfire motorcycles as they have a zongshen engine and ring one of their dealers. as far as i know megelli only had a chinese manual and i could not extract it from the importer who went belly up.
@risky Do you know the size for gear shifting rod? snapped the joint closest to foot pedal a few days ago and really hard to replace at the moment haha
