Spent a chilled Friday evening in the garage replacing the cam chain, tensioners and guides on the gpz900. Hopefully I did it right
Gotta love a warm garage with a power, a sound system and a beer fridge |

Attempted to diagnose the mysterious rubbing/scraping like noise coming from rear of the bike that happens at random but mostly is noticed at slow speeds and failed; I might have to wait for something to go bang before I work it out; not effecting handling or performance <confused.jpg>
Removed rear huger, for the first time, and found a lovely mark -- caused before my ownership (naturally you'd remember a moment like that).

Removed caliper and nothing stuck in that, although I'd have noticed -- doesn't hurt to be sure for the sake of removing two bolts.
Even with just me sitting on the bike and wheeling the bike forward it occurs.

After snapping the mounting for the second time, relocated the reg/rec to the back of one of the toolboxes, and gave it a dedicated earth.

successfully replaced cam chain and tensioners. Quite pleased with myself.
Unfortunately it did not fix the issue so i am likely going to need a replacement engine while this one gets stripped down to find the source of the noise.
If its not the bottom end i will probably stick a know 'good' head on.

Removed this nail my friend pointed out while spinning my back wheel.

Have ordered a plug kit... I'm a bit lucky with that one.
Also changed the air filter, coolant and found the fan motor works but the sensor or control thing doesn't so I might bodge a switch in for my france trip. |
