the what have you done today thread

Is that where the airbag goes? In the basket?

 

And the next contender on the ramp is.......
The Neos

Piston and barrel is shot as expected but it's all coming apart anyway so no hassle there.
I'll start a new project thread I think.

 

We have the same hammer...

 

With one crucial difference, I don't have an apprentice

 

Make sure it's not been thrashed

 

get it delivered or trailer it back, check the brake operation before taking it out on the road, if you get the chance listen to the engine for cam chain rattle at the top of the engine. They have a hydraulic cam chain tensioner and if the oil isn't changed regular or the wrong grade, the tiny little oil hole gets blocked up and causes it not to work properly.
Keep the revs above 7500, you'll have LOADS of fun on it.

 

Same earlier this week on a gsx1100 Katana.

 

Progress. My question mark spring arrived.
Who can spot my mistake?
What did I "forget" before putting the transmission in.

 

Crank seal

 

Nicely spotted.

 

Clutch on. Now the casing is on too and all the seals

 

Looking good, is this the tomos you’ve done the port work on ?

 

yeah, been waiting on something called a question mark spring for a few weeks.
but today i find the crank pin (like a crank keyway, just a pin instead) has gone... i can probably just machine one up though.
