Work rat -
- Swapped carb out for one that wasn't leaking, has a larger jet, and the needle raised one notch.
- Drilled a 6.5mm hole, and put a some 6mm threaded stainless bar straight through the overlap where the polylock meets the downpipe. Copper silicone liberally applied. Wrapped.
- Chain tension and lube.
- Slapped some more matt black on places rubbing off.
- Pulled obvious rust off, brushed it, applied inhibitor and painted when that dried.
VFR -
- Stud extractor set and centrepunch have been 'borrowed' - which I only found out when I went to use it and couldn't find it.
- Swore a lot at borrower over phone, Swore at the studs for snapping in the first place.
- Found more mullered socket head bolts. At least these I should be able to put a flat in and get out without too much hassle, assuming I apply some heat and penetrating oil.
- Swore some more, and locked her back up.

Fitted Oberon clutch slave cylinder to the VFR.
Tried to fix the sluggish right hand indicator, but was unsuccessful
checked the configuration of the Regulator Rectifier
Fitted the correct front brake bolts on the right hand front caliper
Still to do:
Arrange for heated grips to be fitted
Actually fix indicators
replace regulator rectifier ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Sticked some LEDs in the dashboard, a few had failed officer, that's why I was speeding in the dark you see.
Much brighter now, no excuses anymore though
Cheaper than the standard set from Honda too, according to man maths. ____________________

Sunday. Wheel + caliper off XR, undid forks and rotated them around a bit in the hope it would all button up a bit straighter having bounced it off the front of a car at around 20mph and been about 3-5 degrees out of whack.
Seemed to work
I have bruised finger, legs, knees, hip, ribs. But essentially fine.
EDIT: Driver admitted fault, as on wrong side of road.

I had no idea you could split the crankcase with the engine still being in the frame. Putting it back together sure will be fun. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Went to service 1100. Found two head gasket leaks. Then lost an oil gallery washer somewhere in the head. Lost my shit and will be shipping it off for an engine rebuild in January, that’ll be a thousand quid I don’t really have ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |
