Yep. I also gave instructions with images and all with this result. Well, it was cheap and the quality is otherwise decent so I guess I got what I...
Finally got the parts back from the paint shop. The wheels were powder coated jet black and the exhaust headers were done with heat resistant...
Thanks! Let's see how it goes when I get into brake bleeding. Many threads about mods and stuff go silent when people get their answers and never...
Still waiting for the shift star kit to arrive and the paint shop to finish my wheels and exhaust, but I did get something done in the meantime. I...
I don't have a huge amount of experience on different sets or brands but I can recommend Metzeler Sportec M7 RR's. Even though they are in the...
Well I thought since all the lines are completely empty that it'd be faster to first fill the lines that way. I've never filled a completely empty...
Yes you may, the thermostat has actually already been changed before installing the new coolant hoses. SpeedBleeders are waiting on my desk. I...
The wheels have now been sent to be refinished and I also got a far better offer for the exhaust than previously so I sent it along too. Wheels...
At $2 each you're far better off than me :) I kind of assumed they'd be hardened and sanding would make them wear faster. Well, as always I...
Since I now got the parts I went and opened the clutch cover to see what lies in there. To my eye the stock friction plates look ok'ish although...
The other thing I was waiting for was new fork seals and bushings. I first took the forks apart completely and cleaned them inside out, then put...
Finally got the shims along with other parts so it was time to move forward with the valve adjustment. I first calculated the ideal shim values...
In case someone was wondering, I've been doing a LOT of cleaning lately. Here's a small progress update. First piece of the new coolant hoses...
Thought about that first but there's a but. I couldn't find one which would have ALL the available thicknesses, they only seem to have every other...
Thanks but I already went and made my own so I've got those figured out now. Calculated the ideal numbers first and then picked the closest...
Got the valve lifters out. Didn't have a suitable magnet or a valve lapping tool like The Manual says so I had to go with a makeshift solution ->...
Not really. If you do it according to the service manual, you're left with the #3 at TDC on compression stroke. If you don't now go turning the...
Here we go. Took out the camshafts following the procedure in the service manual and maybe tomorrow I'll get to take the valve lifters out and...
So nothing unusual, good to know. The valves on this one have been checked at around 28k km (17k miles) but there's no record of whether any...
Ok so today I got to checking the valve clearances and I got some tight numbers, even a bit too tight for my taste. Everything was either very...
