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.

Oh WOW! Do you read all those books every year?

Not going to pass this on to nobody,,, just in case a special someone sees it and gets ideas. Looks good though.

Fill it up, to I think 55lbs. Best check the manual though, you don't want to over capacity.

You are doing well,,, real well!!

Nice!

@Freebird will look after you shortly.

Sounds to me like you have it under control.

It will be interesting. Thanks for the link.

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.

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.

Now you guys,,,,, be nice!!

If you out progressive springs in the front forks you won't need air-ride or anti-dive.

Yah,, you do visit once in a while and I do spend a lot of time listening.

Will be interested in where you find bushings,, thinking more of us would be interested in a supply.

Check out the TCI, located under the battery box. Maybe it just the connection being wet or loose, maybe you have internal problems. Do a search on TCI.

I've used both of the aforementioned and also Plastifix. All seem to work. I think Pastifix is the easiest.

It will probably take some work and patience, but will sure be worth it. We are open for conversation.

Them is some shiny.!!!!

How do you figure out that you have no spark?

Nahh, just thinkin if this keeps up I'll have to start cutting grass soon.

Good idea. Got any more sockets? Is that a 10mm?

Lots of tension, a good strap and a box of rags to catch the results. Now a good solid punch and a heavy hammer and rap the clutch with the punch and hammer right close to the shaft. Might help.
