I Just wanted to say a big, quick thank you to Wombat and Yorkie for their assistance with the work done on my bike over the past couple of weeks.
Went to Beverley for RTE on Saturday and the result ????
Background here is that since I bought my bike on the very first RTE I noticed a slight slip in the clutch. After procrastinating and just riding for the next 6 months or so I finally got all my bits together to give her a proper overhaul.
Wombat offered the use of his shed for me to work in with him and Yorkie kindly allowed the use of his bike lift.
Objective was to replace clutch plates and check all was ok.
We got a little side tracked
While clutch was out, only a few bolts to do timing belt so do that as well.
While we were at it and had partially stripped, we may as well replace all coolant hoses and check the right angle pipes under the carby block.
Replace factory (Ball) Stem Head Bearing with tapered bearings.
While shocks were out we may as well replace oil in them.
While playing with fluids we may as well replace rear drive oil and while we were at the rear wheel we replaced the rear pads (front pads were good).
While tupperware was off we also rerouted some of the wiring I had done and changed switches activating the spot lights. We also put all dash power through switch 4 now.
As usual when doing something of this magnitude you get in the zone and then realise half the job is done with no pics.
I got a few pics and these are below.
Tupperware Off
Some messy wiring down this side.....
Radiator out to expose clutch housing and Timing Belt covers - Had to take the RH Exhaust Headers off - oh what fun that was !!!!!
Forks out so now we have nice easy access.
Covers all off ... Clutch at the bottom and timing belt on top
New Clutch Plates
Back together and test run
Completely back together and first road test to Beverley Breakfast RTE
Once again, my deepest appreciation to Wombat and Yorkie, I could not have done this without your help and I shudder at the thought of the cost and workmanship if I had sent it into a "shop".
(It seems the :chocies smiley has gone...
