Thanks! I'm a bit envious about the stand, mine is on the floor and I've already got a back ache from the poor working position. Has your project...
Could be and me taking the thing apart, cleaning and putting it back together has likely thrown it off anyway so synchronization has to be done...
Thanks! For me this is one of those 'if it's worth doing it's worth doing right' things. Now it was time to do something for the very dirty...
Got all the brake calipers finished today, plus the secondary master cylinder. I also did open and clean the no-return ball valve in the secondary...
A small bit of progress again. Got the throttle body apart and sent the injectors to be checked/cleaned. Here they are cleaned with new seals....
These came from an ebay seller bertye1958 based in the UK. Others correct me if I'm wrong here :) Since the PAIR system introduces clean air into...
It was finally time for the VFR and the PAIR system to part ways. The reed valves and covers had carbon-like dirt in them that you get from...
Here's what the headers look like. Not too bad but once they're off I'd like them blasted and coated. [IMG] After getting the bike in small...
Hi. User SEBSPEED at vfrdiscussion.com is at least in the process of making adapters which will make it possible to fit some newer CBR rearsets...
A quick question about the exhaust pipe. Mine's rusty and I'd want to get it sandblasted and coated with something that will last longer than just...
Oh the amount of scrubbing... Finally the brake parts are almost all cleaned and first (rear) caliper is ready to be put back together. [IMG]
Piston seals will be replaced and also the rubber boots for the slide pins. The rebuild kits I got also have new pad retaining pins although the...
Ok, got it. There's no signs like that, looks good to me. I will also be replacing the water pump o-rings. [IMG] Here's what the stator looks...
Yep, I'll try this. You mean the mechanical seal inside the pump? Not yet but I'll take the water pump off next to see what it looks like. Do...
I guess now it's time to thank GreginDenver and the sticky thread there for getting me to think about the state of 20 year old rubber parts and...
I try to tackle that by taking a ton of pictures about how everything is positioned and routed. There are also good diagrams available on how...
That's a good idea, I'll try the vacuum to get the dirt away. The previous owner at least has used this pink ethylene glycol antifreeze, hence the...
Got the throttle body out. The inlet rubbers had turned rock hard and it took some time to wiggle the thing off. New ones ordered already. [IMG]...
On a side note, about those international delivery companies. Damn them all (and their messed up subcontracting schemes) to a place somewhere deep...
Got a bit more done last night. Getting the airbox bottom out was a bit tricky at first but eventually got it away. Next the throttle body. I'm...
