Yamaha R4 Update - 15/04/06

[numark1]

It's been ages since i have done anything.

Spend a good few hours today and started to get back into it last week. As the weather has started to warm up its not too cold in the garage anymore.

Anyway i have put the engine in the frame and done some other general stuff.

Managed to get some kind of paper stuck on the side of the frame and not sure how to get it off.

If im being honest i started to loose interest but after seeing so much progress today and seeing it like that i am ready to go again.

I'm warning you now, drop the front forks out and get the mudguard back on before you do anything else, otherwise it won't go back on. I've just found this with mine so the forks'll be comin out to get the bloody MUDGUARD BACK ON

Otherwise, you've got some catching up to do, i'm nearly finished and i started later than you!

I am getting some paddock stands plus i need to get the wheels off anyway to put some proper semi slicks on.

Need to paint the engine bars and engine still.

[quacker_boy]

Getting the front wheel off won't quite do it...well it won't with mine, i've got to drop the forks through the yokes again.

Stick a headlight on it and leave it like that, could be a well nice streetfighter

[Groove]

[instigator]

Looks horrid mark but it's the end result that matters, eh? Better keep at it too or I'll be ever so dissapointed in you.

[numark1]

The tyres have paint residue from the nitro mors from when i stripped the wheels.

Should look pretty good when the bars and engine is painted, probably just do the engine in brush paint.

Also need to fibreglass the tail unit, get some r6 front fairings, spray it all, the tank mudguard and it should nearly be done.

I will be so pissed off if i crash on my first track day after all that hard work.

[Rookie]

eBay has squillions of R6 fairings from all the born agains who drop them, so you won't be hard pressed to find some.

[numark1]

Put the clipon's on and fiddled with the exhausts. I will get custom pipework made up but like the idea of twin high level.

Its pronounced Jixxer!

Not sure what design of exhaust pipes you're thinking of though. Can't see how you'd route them so that you don't burn yourself.

Yeah route them for practicallity, not what you think looks nice.

Mount them wherever's easiest, and for gods sake don't cable tie them on. Where they are they'll start to melt your seat unit methinks.

Hi

If it is a track bike I would certainly say forget the twin pipes. More weight, more to damage and more likely that you will loose a load of power from some bodged up pipework.

All the best

[numark1]

Yup plus exhaust end cans don't actually get that hot, its the header pipes that do

[McGee]

[numark1]

Trust me they do not get hot. I once rode my bike to windsor and back which is about an hour driving quickly got home changed my end can and got an mot.

The actual end cans don't get hot because of the baffles/tubing inside unlike the hearder pipes which has nothing to absorb the hear.

[Bendy]

My old stainless can would easily be hot enough to burn skin after a good thrash.

Carbon ones don't get hot (obviously) but metal race cans should do.
