That epoxy is the stuff that I used.And I did not use it to plug the AIS holes in the cylinder head,but to permanently seal the tapered plugs that I machined in a lathe.They work perfectly and have been in place for about 15,000 miles.The taper of the original feed pipes was not that difficult to replicate and preferable to filling the original adapters with anything ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

Okay so I've not been in the country for more than 3 days at a time really since the last update
I did manage to get the thermostat fitted though:

I've also been painting the radiator, more on that when it's done! ____________________ 2011 XT660Z Ténéré - 2003 YZR-R1 5PW (In Build) |

Okay! So a little update due. To be honest I haven't made a whole lot of progress because I've been galavanting around, most recently at the TT:
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4220/35282926211_8585141d82_z.jpg
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4245/35246043622_06f1eebd6b_z.jpg

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4275/35246044482_d3340f33d5_z.jpg
Did a full service on it and had the chain/sprockets changed before I went as well:
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4247/35246046582_281522f929_z.jpg
But I digress, back to the 5PW! A bits happened, I've put the battery tray back in the subframe and started installing the wiring loom. I hit a snag with the new engines magneto though, as the connector on the new magneto looked like this:
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4281/35025398020_c69c04306d_z.jpg
And the original one looked like this:
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4247/35025396960_6ef3f99c30_z.jpg
No bother though, it's 3 phase into the reg/rec so I just chopped the connector off the old magneto and spliced it onto the new one:
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4212/35025393700_02799f4f7e_z.jpg
Sorted!
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4277/35025391210_bb1e79e311_z.jpg
I've also received and painted the lower radiator mount as I seem to have misplaced it during dismantling. I'm awaiting the delivery of some plastic push rivets to put some of the radiator surround plastics and ducting plastics in as the fairing ones are a different size, but once they're in I'll be able to fully install the cooling system. I've already put the spark plugs in so then I'll be able to install the coil packs, complete the engine wiring, put the throttle bodies on, fit the clutch, fit the oil filter, fill the oil and coolant up, sort the fuel tank out and fit that and then I can fire it up!
Not long to go now hopefully! ____________________ 2011 XT660Z Ténéré - 2003 YZR-R1 5PW (In Build) |

So, it's been 3 years, 9 months, 4 days since the last update. What can I say, I've been busy! Mostly rescuing old computers from Europe (https://ibms360.co.uk/) amongst other things...
Nothing has really happened with the bike. I moved it up to my workshop in late 2019 and thats mostly where its sat since. I've acquired a few parts for it here and there like a clean, undented tank and some gaskets etc. but thats about it.
I went up to the workshop this evening and pulled it out of the back. I made a list of parts I need to move it along, things like rubber grommets for the radiator mounts etc. and I also had a rummage through the garage for some of the parts I was missing (like 3 of the inlet rubbers, which were on the old cylinder head), and put them to one side. I couldn't find the rubber heat shield from the top of the engine or the two plastic covers, so I ordered them from a breaker on eBay today.
Heres how she sits now:
https://www.bikechatforums.com/files/img_1806.jpg
Hopefully I'll get some work done on her soon, and maybe 2021 will be the year I get this (now almost classic status!) R1 back on the road! ____________________ 2011 XT660Z Ténéré - 2003 YZR-R1 5PW (In Build) |

So, popped back to the workshop today to get a bit more done!
First thing, I wanted to deal with the wiring loom. There used to be tie down points on the inside of the frame, but they were made of rubber and had to be removed for the powder coating. I didn't want to leave the wiring loom just floating around to rub on things so I thought I'd feed a cable tie down through the holes. Easy, right? Well it would seem not. The rubber fixing points are actually attached to large rubber blocks inside the frame. I had to use a small craft knife to cut enough of a pathway to feed the cable tie through, and then I closed the loop and attached another cable tie to affix the loom to the frame:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51069666872_0d24395aaf_c.jpg
The problem I'd had yesterday seating the throttle bodies was mainly due to the inlet rubbers being quite cold in the workshop, and them having been off of the bike for so long. I whipped out the heat gun and warmed up the rubber boots until they were more pliable:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51069666802_7bbbb96641_c.jpg
And then with a lot of wiggling and some percussive persuasion I got the throttle bodies fitted and the clamps tightened up:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51000385845_19f27ae566_c.jpg
I was going to sort out the rest of the wiring connections, but I got hungry and went home .
I've also dug out the clutch plates, so once the throttle bodies and connected up, the coolant hoses are run, and the throttle cables are affixed I'll slap the clutch in. I also ordered the first running in oil and a filter today so she's getting closer! ____________________ 2011 XT660Z Ténéré - 2003 YZR-R1 5PW (In Build) |

I was planning to spend this whole bank holiday weekend working on the bike, however when I got up to the workshop on Friday I just couldn't deal with the mess anymore, so I decided to tidy up a bit. My father kindly agreed to help, and so we pulled everything out of the garages, sorted out what was scrap and rubbish, built some shelves, and put the rest of it back inside:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097944648_6a1d278ef5_c.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097484609_cebf01ce20_c.jpg
I had some LED light panels meant for drop ceilings kicking around, so I make some L brackets and put them on the ceiling:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097500002_40d9a08d2c_c.jpg
Then today I turned my attention back to the bike. I'd contacted Harris and asked to buy some new bolts for the rearsets, which they duly shipped me, but neglected to charge me for! Very kind of them indeed. So I started assembling the righthand side:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51098207635_45ed934a91_c.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097944888_8c8d58358f_c.jpg

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097484899_f453663bde_c.jpg
You may notice the brake pedal is missing. Earlier in this thread I removed it to machine a new one, however I lost it somewhere along the way! I've ordered a new one from Harris which will hopefully arrive this week coming.
I then turned my attention to the gear selector. I taped it onto the splined shaft, put the bolt in, and tightened it up. I can now select 1st, neutral, and 2nd with ease!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097500262_6974f64cf9_c.jpg
Next I decided to fit the throttle cables. This was an absolute mare of a job. I really should have fitted these before I fitted the throttle bodies, but I didn't ,and given what a PITA the throttle bodies were to fit last time, I didn't really want to pull them off again. As such, I went in with a small pair of needle nose pliers and hands contorted into tiny places and managed to get the cables fitted:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097945268_b439b4f6d6_c.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097944538_f4fdee5d01_c.jpg
Once I'd gotten it all fitted, the throttle was very sticky. It wouldn't return to idle position without manually turning it, so I stripped the throttle tube down, cleaned the clip on, lightly lubricated it, and refitted the throttle tube. This solved the problem and the throttle now works perfectly!
When I'd originally fitted the exhaust I'd done it with nuts that weren't the perfect thread pitch. I ordered some new ones from Yamaha and changed them all out today:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51098207565_6de6d266d9_c.jpg[/url]
And then I decided to pack up and go home for dinner. This is how the bike sits now:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51097485064_f5dec8c205_c.jpg
I'm hoping to finish the wiring and test fire it later this week if I get the time, but we'll see what the week brings! ____________________ 2011 XT660Z Ténéré - 2003 YZR-R1 5PW (In Build) |

I don't know if anybody is reading this, but its working as a personal log of the work I'm doing at least .
Anyway, today I went up to the workshop again and thought I'd get the clutch cable fitted. I needed the cable retaining bracket that wasn't attached to this engine, so I found it in one of my bags of parts and cleaned it up:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51100162743_7dab27240a_c.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51099702034_74956197f9_c.jpg
and fitted:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51099701704_d773949da1_c.jpg
Then I finished connecting the wiring to the hand controls and ignition, and I installed the plastic covers. I also fixed the wiring issues I'd had before by tracing back the wiring colours in the haynes diagram.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51100427020_663cd5377f_c.jpg
I then decided to plumb in the cooling system, so I fitted the radiator and got that piped up. I also clipped in the clutch cable:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51099702184_85dbbeac0e_c.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51099702244_8d86d680f0_c.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51100426840_1366e4f98c_c.jpg
The only piece of cooling pipe I couldn't plumb in was the T-piece that connects to the thermowax cylinder on the throttle bodies. I couldn't find this in the box of parts, so I presume its in the garage at home. Hopefully I can find it soon!
I then double checked the wiring over:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51099621151_35a122173f_c.jpg
I didn't have the battery with me (it was on the Optimate at home), so I connected up the Noco I had in the car:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51100426665_7928a8e09a_c.jpg
Got some lights on the dash:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51099701594_b2a9fa9080_c.jpg
Sprayed some easy start into the throttle bodies, pulled the clutch in, hit the switch and:

Boom! She fired. Albeit very briefly, but now at least I know it's not completely dead and I can build the rest without worrying that the electrics are completely shot! ____________________ 2011 XT660Z Ténéré - 2003 YZR-R1 5PW (In Build) |
