What have I gotten myself into?

I'm going to finish pulling the head of the parts bike so I can pull the trans off the block to have a look at the input/output shafts and see if the block really did throw a rod. Then I should probably check the "good" bike by -Pulling off the trim -Change the oil -Charge the batt -Fix electrical(?) -Do a compression test If something's really wrong, I'll just part out what I can. If it's all good, I'll move on and start rigging up the ITBs/saving for MS while doing stuff like changing the fork oil/seals, etc... Does anyone have any comments/suggestions? I'm in it for ~$45 so far, but I think I could make more than that back if I have to part it. edited for a better pic :thumbup: |

Btw, Honda uses soft freikin metal in their heads. Maybe I'm just a nub, but I've already semi-stripped a couple bolts and had to resort to the Imperial+mallet method. :o |
Ah, never work on a bike when tired. I had to grind a bolt off holding one of the timing chain sprockets on, just because I missed a little section about removing a couple cam keepers(?) and stripped it. But it's off, and the damage is minimal. :thumbup:
This is why you plug the exhaust ports when storing a parts bike. https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...ea8e529b8d.jpg The head looked pristine. https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...6dc6a01751.jpg And here are a set of ITBs off of a Yami YZF-R1 ($30 of my $45 budget!) ;). Too big for the engine, but I'm sure any problems with low end torque can be bandaided by proper intake pipe length/size. https://www.fuelly.com/attachments/fo...a219dd9a61.jpg |
hmm, I notice you have ITB's, but these are for fuel injection. Are you giong to try to switch over to fuel injection?! Or, is this a whoopsies?

You know where I'm goin' meng! :thumbup:
Off a YZF-R1, so they should supply more than enough air/fuel, and they have sliders too, so it should be pretty smooth. I'm looking for cheap'ish flywheel holders, so until then I won't be able to split the case. |

Pieced it all together, bought some non-dry-rotted tires (the tubes were still OK!) and rode it for a year! Finally sold it when my daughter was on her way ;) Nothing like ripping a bike apart and building it again for a real feeling of accomplishment! |
So... is the bike inside the house, or is the garage carpeted :)
Nothing like working on a motorcycle in the living room! |
@Odie - Definitely. I just wish I could make up my mind about what I want to do with it! FI or no? Taller gearing? Fairings? Arghh! :D
@Metro - Just the garage. I wouldn't hear the end of it otherwise. :o |
