I was scrolling through Facebook marketplace and I saw this... I need it. But no budget yet... I wanted to make these types of motorcycles into a cafe racer after what I did on Tesco before his engine became a donor #motosky

Fixed price, complete papers but needs a new plate replacement

Needs quite a few things to work out and it's at the neighboring province to mine

The build I'm aiming for with my take on it

Is season 2 already ending? Why is there a beach episode? #motosky

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So I have this one time I take Alto out to school 3 hours away from home and the first thing I did after school is take pictures in the beach Street tires on loose sand are both scary and fun but you tend to get stuck on deeper sand #motosky

I don't think the engine is supposed to make a ticking noise on decel and smoke out of the oil fill port right? #motosky

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The clutch springs have been installed, we have to use 2 stock and 2 racing springs, the racing ones are too tall and stiff so we had to modify and cut one coil each, now when Alto launches he picks up the front wheel off the ground #motosky I'm turning the excess coils into a custom ring too

Alto now with the original silver engine covers

The excess coils from the racing clutch springs are gonna be turned as a ring

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

WE HAVE THE CLUTCH SPRINGS! I was about to sit down to eat lunch wondering when the clutch springs will arrive since it's being tracked as out for delivery and I heard someone at the door, it was the clutch springs being delivered! I'm taking these to the mechanic after eating to put on #motosky

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Looks like I got the last stock online until they get more stock, you think I'd just settle with stock clutch springs after getting a refund for the wrong size springs? #motosky

Sun Racing branded racing clutch springs

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

So, we finally got the clutch replaced, but one problem, I had to return the racing springs because it was too small of an inner diameter, but we mix n matched good parts from both engines, guess that's one advantage of having a spare #motosky

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Here's a small vid of Alto I did, still kinda shy to make proper vids in public #motosky

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Went out a little bit late today, still haven't installed the racing clutch springs and newer clutch pack yet #motosky

0121

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Sooo, quite a few things have happened between now and the last time you saw Alto, we got a huge discount on racing clutch springs and I've raised the front fender to take up the space between the headlight, also managed to fit the filter without rubbing the fender #motosky

Got back from the mall with the family, I chose to use the motorcycle while they use the family SUV with dad driving I chased after dad on the way home going 110 km/h (68 mph) indicated on the gauges a few times #motosky

2122

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Ok so, I found out earlier while testing that going full throttle going 115 km/h on the gauge makes the piston on the carb get stuck wide open, the cable even moves freely if I twist the throttle. Now I added a spacer to stiffen the spring Some scary 3 seconds of my life #motosky

150

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

No riding just yet but we finally tuned the carb just right now, had to cut back on the main jet from a 130 to a 108 and the pilot just a few steps back from 42 to a 35 #motosky

081

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I swear I'll clean Alto (Azul chassis + Tesco Engine) when it stops raining

010

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I'm surprised I haven't sent it here yet #motosky

031

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The brackets just got delivered just as I was about to sit down to eat lunch, I'd say it fits well (90% anyway) just no adventures yet since 3 weeks because of continuous rain #motosky

091

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Well I'm back again with some more changes and a slightly different approach #motosky

1121

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

We got no choice but to buy a donor crankcase for Azul because the shop that was supposed to fix the crack butchered it by drilling at the wrong angle and size not even remotely close to the original This is an example, of how it should be at an angle, they didn't follow the original #motosky

182

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Well as you can see, sht happens when it comes to repairs and this time the engine has to be overhauled while repairing a crack in the aluminum crankcase, but tomorrow I'm getting the welded case back from the shop and hopefully Azul's engine doesn't throw any more problems #motosky #repair

Cracks on the aluminum crankcase where the timing chain tensioner sits

Azul's engine dropped from the chassis after removing 3 bolts

Magneto side and top end of Azul's engine taken off

In the process of splitting the crankcase open in 2

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Tomorrow we're taking Azul to the shop to get the stator cover replaced because the last shop I went to for a timing chain replacement did a shoddy work putting back the stator cover using bolts that aren't designed for it making it crack #motosky

New stator cover between the stator flywheel and the main insides of the crankcase

081

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

So Azul decided to reject the spark plug threads and I had to take it to the machine shop to get the spark plug hole oversized earlier And tomorrow I'm bringing yet another piece to the machine shop, his muffler decided to lose more threads and snap a bolt #motosky #honda

Head taken completely off for the head to be taken to the machine shop

Refitted the head and other parts including an open intake

It's almost 3AM and I just finished up cutting, wiring, and testing the new mini lights for Azul's headlight unit after trimming the chin more, I gotta admit it took me a few tries to get the wiring correctly #motosky

Absolute mess in the living room by cutting and wiring

Lights turned off with the headlight unit installed

Lights on with the mini lights, the mini lights are directly connected to the low beams

After cutting the bottom chin and installing the mini lights

Codename: The Blue Raven #motosky This piece of art was made by a good friend of mine who's a graphic designer Took a few pictures on the DSLR camera and gave it to him to work his magic Super happy he can make one for Azul

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Back from vacation and some new parts added #motosky We got a new manifold and an upgrade to the headlight and horn from my cousin's spare parts back in Zambales The new manifold finally fixed the fitment issue, now hopefully it will fix the tuning issues

071

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

No updates on Azul for a week during vacation, but I will be using my cousin's 125 XRM here in Zambales #motosky

Azul Saga: Body Panel Headache #motosky With the arrival of the new rear panels, I have come to find out they have inaccurate dimensions like the left is 90% smaller than the original but we pushed through with the help of grinding and elbow grease Mechanic said the front looks like a Kingfisher

Old and new test fitting and cutting for 5 hours

Angular front fender made it look like a bird similar to a Kingfisher with the blue and yellow accents

Afternoon Photoshoot #motosky I'll show more in the comments

Full wave + Battery operated lights #motosky Took Azul for a test drive yesterday, I can actually see at night now with this headlight but I'm going to upgrade it to a projector style with a cutoff

0111

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Azul Saga: Electrical Modernization #motosky Got back from the shop after converting the electrical system from a half wave system and stator driven headlight to a full wave system and battery operated lights While at the shop, I saw this Honda Wave 110 S, same engine, different chassis

New sticker added to the panel, Boss Odie, the name of the shop

Wave 110 S fitted with a 28mm carburetor and a metal velocity pipe

Azul Saga: Hydraulic Upgrades #motosky With the brake fluid flushed and bled along with a new hydraulic brake switch, let's just hope the switch lasts long In the meantime the braking system is now done and can do a hard stop with a pull of a pinky

Braking system finally installed and mostly bled

081

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Azul Saga: new brake master 90% installed #motosky For now I'm just finalizing the hose and fluid tank reservoir placements We'll have to buy new DOT4 fluid and an aftermarket hydraulic switch since this new one doesn't have any

All new Nissin brake master, needs fluid and hydraulic switch

Refreshed caliper with the knockoff Earl's braided line

Clutch lever, might do a clutch conversion kit in the future to use this

Brake master update #motosky The broken one got refunded and now we spend a bit more on a known brake manufacturer, Nissin, the same brand as our calipers

161

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Faulty Refund #motosky It seems that the brake master I bought was a dud, the bracket for the lever snapped off and the seal was leaking, so we got it packed and returned while we wait for the refund, in the meantime we'll be using Tesco's braking system until we have a new brake master bought

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Azul Saga: Almost complete (and a little shop promotion) #motosky Went to our relative's shop to fit the new braking system for Azul since he's nearing completion, there's only a few small details left to put in

As for the painful part of installation, I had to cut off the bottom section of Azul's headlight cowling to fit on the new fender and eliminate the 2 holders for it in the process, but the bolts on either side works well on their own especially with it resting on the new fender #motosky

081

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Azul Saga: new fender! #motosky I've successfully (and painfully) installed the new front fender from the modern 125 variant, the brackets line up surprisingly, I wonder if the modern headlight cowling fits too

0212

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Tomorrow if the fender arrives, I'll take pictures of Azul For now here's a few pictures of something special, A Vespa Sprint S 150 The owner got it for Php 250,000 and a total worth of upgrades around Php 500,000

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Is this what they call a scammer? #motosky Some people like to flex their big carb by removing the panels, I like to be secretive I've also found out the fuel supply problem on this carb, it was the fuel shutoff valve, it was too small for fuel to flow freely now it's straight to the carb

061

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Azul Saga: Situation Update #motosky Azul now has a brand new timing chain and runs really well (other than the noisy racing cam but I'm used to it now) I've removed his body panels temporarily to get the welded brackets for the sidecar removed We might even see new panels in the future

Rusty, the RS100 and Tesco all parked in the garage huddled together

Fleet Update #motosky With the ongoing fuel prices skyrocketing to new heights due to the war, there's gonna be some changes here 1. Tesco is now being put to storage until further notice and parts 2. Azul will now be the current project and daily driver as for now 3. The RS100 will be on standby

Azul Prime taking shape #motosky @leecaluan.bsky.social here's Azul slowly taking shape, were planning on lowering him just a smidge since he tilts like 45 degrees on the kickstand from how thick the sidewalls are Azul build continues while Tesco takes a chill pill until I get a new manifold

Zai @alazai.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Azul is alive! #motosky Finally got the gasket between the crankcase and block now Azul feels slightly more powerful with just the 53mm block and modified head from Tesco Still not sure what to do with the carb side, maybe just a slight increase to 24mm
