Lets see; I've done all the wheel bearings including rear sprocket bearings - all now new Koyo's. Interestingly only about a third of the bearings taken out were actually knackered....
Replaced the rusted exhaust studs on the engine, putting the new ones in I nearly scuppered the whole thing by slipping one of the exhaust nuts nown the exhaust port
A little bricking myself moment but got it out fine with some MIG wire - I'm just glad it didn't go any further...
Putting the CDI/coil on I found the tags to be missing, got some replacements welded on and red-oxided up - don't worry i'll be going over in the green
Got the rear rack, mudguard, footpegs, airbox, carb and battery box all in too with a new nuts/bolts and a new carb rubber (Thanks shop keeper Mel!). New pads in both calipers and ready for new fluid once the bars are populated. Waiting on a new rear brake pedal switch too. Forks are back on, as is the front wheel with a metzeler enduro 3 tyre on it - turns out mine weren't road legal marked and tbh were a bit agressive for the majority of what i'll be doing. The wiring for the rear lights/indicators has been made up and attached to the original cut loom.
The rear tyre has also been replaced, but in the process I ended up ham-fistedly destroying the inner tube (5 groups of holes!
) - that's when I looked up how to change a MOTORBIKE tyre and wacked some fairy liquid and a bit more care on the next one - that went fine. Rear wheel is now ready to go on!One final thing - I got back today to find a nice litte custom bit had turned up
The dash plate back from the anodisers looking great in satin black - Should have the dash wired/bolted in this weekend hopefully!
Right that's it for now - more to come following the weekend, and more pics!
