Gpz900 rear wheel bearings done.
Attempted to clean 25 years of chain gunge off the swing arm and wheel. Failed miserably.
Rebuilt the rear twin pot with new seals and bled it. Then put the wheel on which is a proper faff.
Productive evening in the garage |

This looks mighty do-able.
Did you just make it for your bike specifically or did you try to replicate a well known make? |

It is just like a centre stand but pivoting higher up on the swingarm.

That was my previous, had faaar too much lift and was flimsy as fuck when lifting a 600, but perfect on the 250.
I used M20 threaded bar, 40mm x3 tube, the lifting height is about 500mm. The threaded ends on this are turned to 7.3mm and 11.1mm to fit the cbr6, but I can make more as I need them. Ill be trying it out on a DL650 later for a front tire swap. |

Hiya
3rd attempt over the last week or so to sort the carb on the Cagiva Freccia. Flooded on me badly, so carb off and found a bit of grit in the needle valve. Cleaned that out and then next time out it ran fine on the way there, but kept dieing on the way back. Keeping to about 30 it would manage about 2km before it died again, leave it to stand for a minute or 2 and then repeat. 25 mile journey took a while! thought it was a kinked fuel pipe so tried to fix that (and put in a fuel filter while at it), but while improved it was still not running well. Wondered if the fuel filter was restricting things. But that seemed to flow well, but fuel flow after the fuel tap was lousy. Took the tap to pieces and found a build up of furry corrosion on the intake to the tap. Cleaned that out and now runs a lot better.
All the best

Got the DRZ mot'd, passed of course, so swapped out the headlight for a number board (summer mode).
Started taking the 990 to bits to see why the brake light wasn't working, found the wires both snapped at the butt of the bulb holder Bit annoying as I can't find any for sale and an R&G tail tidy might not work with my exhausts. ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Worked on the YBR:
Made progress in learning how to use the Multi-meter, and as a result, have identified the starting issues. Parts on order, So hoping to have that fixed by the end of the week. Next on the list is to sort out the seized front break. Feeling a little more hopeful about that after learning from mistakes on the tracer

My old man, didn't do much in the way of maintenance on this bike, it was used purely as a commuter for a 5 mile trip to work... It had then been left to rot for a year unfortunately, but in a bid to learn, we are doing it up and making it all nice again. Second job on the list was sorting the seized brake, took it off today to sort out and found this.
So we cleaned it all off, ordered new boots / seals / pads. Should be all good!

I put new extension springs in my saddle frame because I snapped them all green laning and was effectively sitting on a steel frame with a piece of horsehair padding, leather and a sheepskin on top of it instead of a series of lovely boingy springs stretched across said frame.
Had a sod of a job sourcing some of the correct length and strength then found exhaust springs for 'spanny slip joints fit very well. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
