just finished my prep for Hopetoun... what was going to be a clean and scrub turned into a bit of a saga. I decided to straighten out the bent radiator and then realised the shroud was all cracked so put a bit of glue on it to hold it together.
noticed the clutch was slipping and that the release was immediate on the lever so off with clutch cover (luv husky clutch covers) adjusted the release mechanism...hopefully ok. refitted the water pump impellor circlip which was in the radiator
found the source of the annoying vibration.. lhs radiator bottom hose clamp head was touching the pipe. fiddly fix but all done
set of front wheel bearing and clean and grease of the brakes...notice that the speedo drive was bare... no replacement spacer..all this time!! that's why the forks were harsh, always pulled in too tight...idiot! put in a few washers and all looks much better.
both the chain guide rollers were naffed so whipped a couple up out of some carbon impregnated nylon.
lifted the needle up 1 clip and tightened the muffler end cap. quick spin around the block and its going good. the forks and front brakes are transformed, the motor is a little rich as expected in the mid and all is good.
need to charge the go pro and get it all over to rockets for a lift on saturday
Hopetoun here we come!!!
