Stripping the NSR Subframe

[NSR125-Kid-UK]

For reasons undisclosed, I'm taking the subframe off the NSR and stripping it. Now in addition to the obvious steps such as disconnecting the battery etc, can anyone give me a walkthrough, or a guide as to what needs to be done to take the subframe in its entirety to bits?

Thanks all .

<edit> this isn't inspired by the thread i recently discovered where goose replaced the subframe .

(How do I get my subframe painted like that though - it'd be great :O

I think Goose had his powdercoated, not painted. Its much tougher and looks much better to have it coated. The nearest place I know of to you is in Castleford, near Wakefield. Its called LSN coatings 01977 604461 I have used them before and got some great stuff done there.

As for the subframe....... I have no idea

taking the subframe off shouldnt be too hard, should be a max of 4 bolts holding it to the frame i'd imagine

the 'difficukt' bit would be the wiring that is thread all over the subframe, but that is just a case of undoing any bolts you see, removing the tail light, indicators, stuff like that, then just pulling it all away from the subframe, battery box etc should all be able to be removed after you take the subframe off the main frame, makes it easier then

advisable to TAKE SOME PICS of the bike before you start ripping it apart, so you can see where all the wires are routed

and obviously take the seat and cowling off before any of the above

Cheers . At some point the wiring loom on the bike's been severely f*cked with, there's wires all over the place. I might see if I can tidy some of them up, but I really don't want to push my luck.

I'm just bothered about rear brake fluid reservoir etc etc.

Well Obviously first of all the fairing, then the wiring harnes from the rear light and indicators, then the battery. Coolant hose from the water bottle, take the oil tank off. There are 3 bolts, one long one with 8mm (I think) hex key heads, then two short bolts either side further up the frame. That is as much as I can remember, from there it can be taken off and the undertray etc removed.

W00t \o/.

Successfully had the bike down to its bare bones (arse end at least), did a damn good clean, rerouted most of the wiring loom, so it looks tidier and i've got more free space, tightened the chain (nasty tight spot though ), and given the bike a damn good clean . I've cleaned all the minky areas, sorted out the horrible mess left by the sprockets, lubed the chain, and polished and polished and polished with one alcohol degreaser, one petroleum degreaser and some Mr Sheen .

There's nothing more that I can realistically clean on the NSR, I've conqeured the crap and muck of the NSR
