Mornin' all
Here we have a SP1:

Lavished in Ohlins and a PC3

Oh and Harris Performance...
A little history,
I picked the bike up of Seb off here on the 2rd November. Woke up on the 3rd, insured it and went to uni, did the usual, then thought "ill go show one of my mates", this was my mistake. It was only by change I changed my mind to go and see him. Had a nice ride down to his. Knocked on the door no answer so thought ah well turned around went back home, upon leaving his some work men where working (SHOCK HORROR) noticed they had a pneumatic cable across the road so thought ok go on the other side no problem...
A car came round the corner forcing my back onto my side. Im already doing walking pace aiming to go over the squigly hose at a 90 degree angle to it to stop it rolling. First bump good second... not quite, the hose rolled and the bike wnt down. Needless to say i wasnt very happy. They workers just stood there gormless, picked up my bike and asked for a number to contact thier boss. ( i know through health and safty it shouldnt of been across the road as it was.) got a number all done.
Damage was...
Exhaust

Paint

Clutch lever, mirror and bar end. and a bruse on my hip/ego.
So one thing to another..
The company have offerd £750 
Happy days. So I thought I would clean it too and put on new parts ready for summer. Needed new tires so now have some very nice Corsa IIIs
Some nice shiny levers...

Still waiting for one more delivery from America..
So the strip down starts,
fairing and nose cone off

Looks mean 
Started with the damaged can added it to the stuff to sort
https://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn236/blackwolf141/P2260646.jpg
Under its not too bad few bits need a quick clean
https://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn236/blackwolf141/P2260630.jpg
random white stuff
https://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn236/blackwolf141/P2260631.jpg
https://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn236/blackwolf141/P2260616.jpg

https://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn236/blackwolf141/P2260635.jpg
The rear sets have got me though, i think a gorilla has done them up. already broken one allen key attempting to undo them... also heads are slightly rounded, tried tapping with a hammer still no budging. anyone got any ideas?
https://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn236/blackwolf141/P2260636.jpg
Things i want to get done
Re-powder coat the rear wheel
Service the rear Ohlins
Service the bike
New pads all round
New front discs
Clean
Fit new parts
HRC Goodness....

You'll get sick to death of trying to keep the shock linkage clean soon enough, the scottoiler on that thing is a dirty little sod for sure 
Unlucky with the off, Harris should be able to sort replacement parts for the rearsets, that'll work out a fair bunch cheaper than replacing them, kind of gets around those bolts too. G'luck

penetrating oil is a myth.
use a manual impact driver. they cost about £5 and never fail.

Nothing on that a bit of parafin wont clean up. or while you have the bodywork off just get local motorspares place and get engine de-greaser spray that stuff all over then get the watering can or low pressure jet wash out and rince it all off bike look clean and spick and spam then also that cahin looks a bit iffy. maybe while wheels are out let it hang down and soak in some old engine oil to loosen any dodgy links..you dont want to get her sorted then take her out and chain snap on you lol |

I've found Astonish Wheel Cleaner to be a decent degreaser. 99p from Home Bargains |

Seems to be quite a bit more corrosion than I'd expect from a Honda...but I guess they don't make them like they used to...or the bike's had a hard life.
Will be a good chance to ACF50 the crap out the thing once it's stripped down so much - after you've finished cleaning it anyway. |
It's not the corrosion, theres no rust at all, I put the allen key in and apply pressure, not budging, put a spanner on the end to give more leverage; The allen key was turning but the bolts where stuck. They have had 2 days worth of peneterant with liberal coating. Tired using the torques today still nothing, will try heating tomorrow.
Will also be applying lots of ACF50
| Alex A wrote: | Blackwolf: If it's due new plugs soon, it's probably a good idea to do it now. The front is relatively accessible behind the oil cooler, but without a 40cm extension bar for the wrench, there's pretty much no clearance to get in there with anything whilst the nose fairing is still in place. Should be OK whilst you've got it off. The rear cylinder requires the tail fairing, seat and tank off (not just tilted, but unbolted), so worth doing that whilst you've got the bike stripped too. |
Cheers for the Info, I think there fine, but will have a look through the paperwork.

I was tempted but i prefer Tolberone
Now to all this isn't going to be anywhere to the standard of Craigs cleaning, I like rideing me bikes too.
I'm just to try and clean the worst of the winter crud off and get it looking half decent for summer
Will continue cleaning tomorrow.
Ah!, now has shiney new rubber...
I have tried something this evening and I like the looks, but im not saying what yet till its all done!
Also whats peoples thought on changing the air mesh/filter thing black?
