She is back together
Completed the front cylinder this evening after work, changed the spark plugs and installed the new 150amp solenoid. Got it all back together apart from fairing lowers, do still need to move the tank back on its hinge as it is to far forward.. need to figure out how to get to this..
Front clearances now - Intake - both 0.15 and Exhaust both 0.25
irate
Will be firing it up first thing after work tomorrow :banana:scared:smilie
Next on the list is oil and filter change.. should be ready for the sun soon!!!
Next time those covers off they will be powder coated.

If your tank is way off it might have swelled up due to the ethanol problem?!?

Blooming hope not mate, since I have had it I have done 3 tanks of premium and 1 of normal..
I need to have a butchers at the hinge area me thinks..
As soon as I finished work today I fired her up and took her for a spin. I have picked up a set of used Gold Gilles rear sets with the money I have saved on the service :thumbup
The top of the engine is noticeably louder as expected due to the valves actually having some clearance! Click the image below for a video..
Unfortunately in my haste to get out on the bike I managed to leave the U shaped fairing piece by the exhaust on the bike :doh
Any tips on removing the plastic from the exhaust?
Anyone have one lying about they don't need?
Draining the oil out as I type.. service light will be reset shortly. My clock seems to have reset for some reason? Perhaps fitting the new solenoid did this? Back to KM also but mileage still OK.

To remove the melted plastic re- heat the exhausts and when hot scrape the plastic away from the pipes. For the last bits just sand paper it. Done that, been there !! hhh

Or the tank or the bracket are from two different bikes.

Whats a GP shift pattern? :confused
I have only ridden it for about 5 miles with the new rear sets and I have had to adjust it the lever for gear change was too far down. Will be out again tomorrow hopefully.
It feels very smooth and has no free play which I am chuffed with as on previous bikes I have found without a direct lever free play can be an issue.
:cheers

Ah ok, the way the remote connects to the foot pedal is different to other set ups I see on closer inspection. I've thought about getting a GP shift and some woodcraft rear-sets from AF1 for quite some time, was wondering if anybody had done it and how it worked for them? It's reasonably expensive to get it here to NZ and it'll be a lot of money to waste if it's crap hahahaha

Budget gp shift conversion you can use an rs125 shifter so I've been told
