ZXR400 L Tart/Tidy up

[Bike Bunker]

Decided my bike is completley up the shit after daily use,
after selling my B1h and 2 other zxr400's i have enough to tart it up a little, its not going to be a complete rebuild. BUt heres a list of things:

1.Fork Refurb (fork seal's have leaked so much the oil is all over the wheel)
2.Chain Sprocket's (chains rusted to death and has a kink in)
3.New maxxis Tyres (tyres are squared rear has 2 repairs front has a few nials sticking around
4.have swing arm polished
5.refurb the all round brembo brake's + disc's

possible maybes:
1.refurb and set rear shock.
2.have seat's customized
3.new front mudgaurd
4.crashbungs
5.steering damper
6.Motogb rear set's

Reason for this is i have braught and sold several zxr400's latley and have no got a ton of spares including damper's and motogb rearset's so ill see if i want to sell them or just use them.

hoping ill get help from few people along the way and ill get a ton of photo's uploaded.



So here'swhere i start ...ordering part's

Fork oil seal's ordered for £5.45 after cradley kwak qouted me £12!!!


im about to order the green chain i want.
just not 100% if it will fit?

[Bike Bunker]

Here's my rust effect back end i achieved this by not lubing my chain and the fact it hasnt being changed for near 2 and half years (owner hadnt used it for two years before me)

I would say its safe to say the forks need new seal's

The oil is completley drain i can litterally push the forks down with my index finger....or i could use my index finger to wipe the fork oil off the front brake disc

Chain/fork seals have being dispatched (according to ebay) already got some JT sprockets ready.
oh and the pro bolt polished sprocket nuts are due aswell

I hope you dont have trouble pulling the forks apart.

I had to grind the outer to pull the stantion out as one of the bushes had slipped underneath the other.....

Luckily i had a spare set of forks in the garage

[Bike Bunker]

ive got a spare set well...ive got a spare bike :') so i should manage, i figured you would be first to comment.

and dont worry im changing the engine cover in this thread aswell so you can grab that one if you want....also im not sure weather to use or sell the motogb rear sets/steerin damper so keep your eye out i might sell those too

[P.]

[CaNsA]

What you doing with the other engine?
How much would you sell it for?

[Bike Bunker]

the engine was rebuilt not long ago, im going to do my forks and chain and sprocket and if the entire race bike hasnt sold for 1k then i may sell parts its got to be worth about 2k easy in parts rethnal sprockets engine rebuilt not long at all ago....steerin damper motogb rear set's

if i was to put a price on the engine probly £400 no less.

but its going to be very unlikley it starts being sold in parts (other than its accesseries

[Bike Bunker]

nah it really was, I have the receipts for it laying around somewhere... (Obviously I didn’t have it done person before me did)


Anyhow...Chain came today looks pretty good, plus next day delivery no complaints.

Now before I start taking the bike apart going to wait for fork seals and sprocket nut's ect to arrive, does anybody know of a good place in/near Birmingham that polish's? need my swing arm, exhaust hanger, rear set’s doing and lacquered ? not sure if its best to get them lacquered to save having to keep polishing them day in day out?
Advice?

[P.]

Thats a very unhealthy looking bike... and I'm not one to talk.

[Bike Bunker]

litterally between 10-50 miles a day get put on it, with no time to maintain, plus in ice,snow,rain,sun,salt,and general reckless riding it soon wear's down...plan to rebuild the engine next winter before i sell it on

bike owe's me 1.2k with all the things i done already, including new down pipes short lever's so ill never lose out

[P.]

[AL-]

at that chain. I hope you intend to look after the new one better

The old front sprocket vs the new front:

But when removing the wheel this happened to pop off.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/525180_3707406323414_1223235604_3727559_2120522644_n.jpg

So now i have to order some hose fitting's

Steering damper

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/539070_3707406883428_1223235604_3727560_846702345_n.jpg

Fitted it and hated it so its on ebay 99p start...heres the link :https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120888193785?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649


The polished sprocket nuts arrived today so fitted it all back together put rear tyre on, i know i said it'll be polised which it will but i have to use the bike daily so just getting it road worthy for time being then when i dont need it for a few day's ill whip it off and get it done.


so chain and everything is on as you can see its a good 6 links to long. whats the best way to remove the links , also ive only ever used split links before this one is different seemed like its a perminent fixture and you have to like sqause the end of the pins down? whats the best way to do this thanks
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537057_3707405523394_1223235604_3727557_2242318_n.jpg

[TUG]

Before you fuck up that chain... Wind in the adjusters fully then line up the links. You need to cut it so that you have 2 inner links (non green) to put the split pin through. By the looks of that picture you have no idea what you are doing and will end up chopping the chain 3 times in total to do it properly at the exspence of buying another 2 split links.

little update: was looking at tyres and was prepared to pay for supercorsa's when a guy i sold a track bike to told me i can have his scrub's for 70 so two pairs will be with me in 2 weeks for £150 kind of happy since maxxis sports are 150 new...now ive got two sets of super cora's maybe with half life in them but at the same cost plus there scrubbed in so i dont know whats best but im happy

[mattsprattuk]

This thread is an awful advertisement for your idiotic buy-sell idea.

The only sensible thing done was trying to sell your chinese nasty steering damper (that cost about $20 new from china). (see here) I hope those bidders realise it's a non-branded POS before it's too late.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-7-way-Steering-Damper-adjustable-universal-Gold-330-mm-Ducati-HONDA-/270892734193?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3f127716f1#ht_1236wt_1397

£5 fork seals will be shitty pattern ones that last 5 minutes, but what do you care? The bike will be sold, but it's shoddy as hell. You get what you pay for with seals.

Also, displaying your complete lack of knowledge about something as simple as a chain... I will never consider buying anything from you, knowing that you've played with it. I would advise anyone else to do the same.

Can I ask where you got the ''retails at £150'' from for the steering damper??

Good shout matt.

[Blau Zedong]

There is so much faggotry in this thread I have no idea where to begin.

I think the derp over the rivet link chain is a good start though.

Hold on - the brake hose just 'popped off'?
Either you're insanely hamfisted, or it's nothing short of a miracle that you manage to survive from day to day.
