  1. Remove false tank cover, left side lower and upper faring, radio etc, and the inside faring. The rest can stay. Cables can be tied together to work them into place. I think that's it.
  2. Sounds like it might be the u-joint going to the drive shaft,, maybe.
  3. Funny how that happens,,, maybe time for a nap.
  4. Guess so,,, the computer knows best I guess.
  5. I will post this in the proper forum, so you'll get some replies.
  6. I tried but he said something about being allergic to glycol.
  7. Sound is a fecal thing and it needs things to bounce off of. Get a setup that sounds awesome in the garage and then move it outside, half the quality is gone. Now add some other noise and wind to carry things away, and you are left with what a plain set would provide.
  8. Probably won't get very wet while moving, but get soaked when stopped. Also, if you take it you won't need it, but if left behind you'll wonder why on earth you hadn't packed it along.
  9. Did the brakes on an 84 here, and found that AllBalls kit as you say. The front ones though have both sides in the one kit. For the rubber flat cut o-rings I could not find anybody who made them or the size, so I went to a local brake rebuilder and he said just to use normal o-rings, at least that is what he would do and he said it would work just fine, so that is what I did. Now the manual says not to slit the caliper, I wonder why?
  10. Only happens at certain times, but then?.............
  11. I believe that the coils are constant powered and then the ground side is disconnected to create spark. So you might have power at the coils but no spark. The ground would go then to the TCI to activate the spark.
  12. Might I suggest you also put a fitting on the shock mount? When I did my 85 the bolt/pin was worn badly and I had to get a new one made, Yamaha no longer stock those either.
  13. Oh WOW! Do you read all those books every year?
  14. Not going to pass this on to nobody,,, just in case a special someone sees it and gets ideas. Looks good though.
  15. Fill it up, to I think 55lbs. Best check the manual though, you don't want to over capacity.
  16. You are doing well,,, real well!!
  17. It will be interesting. Thanks for the link.
  18. Just a suggestion, but I would advise to let the frame cure for a couple of weeks at least. The paint may feel dry and hard but it will take a bit of time to fully cure. Putting the engine in is going to cause a bit of stress on the new paint. I also would be interested in what sites you founds the bushings. Nice job so far, lots of work but will be very satisfying.
  19. A bit tricky, have to remove some outer paraphernalia, then there are 2 allan bolts holding it in place as well as the fluid line. After that you need to hold your tongue just right to get it out. Once out, you now have to put the new one back in, and that is even trickier seeing as first off you'll have to remember which side of your mouth you had your tongue in when it did finally just pop or slide out. OH yah, you will have to bleed the sucker as well.
  20. Keep us posted, we are interested. If you have any thoughts don't be afraid to ask, better safe than sorry. Have a good time making that baby yours.
