hi , im new around here . for a few years i try to restore a russian bike (K55 or Kovrovec 125), what seems to be a replica over the DKW IFA R125.
The frame is ok , weels ok (stiil usable ) will need a new front axle , some minor tweaks but it's ready . The problem it's with the engine, the chamber was modified at a motorcycle factory( few more cm3) the piston was remanufactured to fit the size .
the problem is with the conecting rod, it's almost destroyed. i was rebuilded but did not resist for more than 1 hour run. i know the engines are allwost identical , is there a way to find a good dkw engine ? i love the bike , it was in the family for 3 generations .
and i would love to restore'it to original as much as I can.

excure my english

Hello Tudor and welcome to DDRMoped.de/forum!

Don´t worry about your english - we all aren´t perfect english nativspeakers wink.gif But that doesn´t matter - we´ve already got members from Israel and Poland in this forum and we´ll try to help you with your problems. Please take some photos of the engine and the motorcycle for us to decide the possible right model of engine, ´cause some of them are different (DKW RT 125 W, IFA RT 125/0 - /3). After that you can upload the pictures under the text-capture (Its called: "Dateien anhängen").

Do you want to repair your engine or do you want to have another complete engine?

Friendly regards from Germany,

Bernd

the pictures will have to wait a little , i work in another town , when i get home i'll take some pictures with the bike and the engine.. Anyway , it's no rush , this project cost money and for now i don't afford cry.gif . i don't know what to do with the engine , as i told before it was modified, the piston it's a little bigger, from what i understand from my father it was designed to fit Jawa 350 piston rings, and the cylinder was carved inside . so it's sord'of unique. that factory it's closed . the engine doesn't have much Km , but if it fails i won't have replacement parts. that's why i think it would be beter with another engine , my father hand buy a few years ago another bike for parts , but i'm left with spare clutch , spare gearbox, 3 carburators and few parts.
at this moment the crankshaft i'ts almost destroied, with another crankshaft the engine wil run perfectly. I have searched for another one but this bike was kind'a rare , i even search for original parts in Republic of Moldovia, even Russia , but with no luck , i'm shure that what i need is there but there's none to search for me ..
