keny Posted September 18, 2024 Author Posted September 18, 2024 Not good Tread depth is about ⅖ of the amount the screwdriver goes into the hole... As I'm still waiting for the oil pump chain as sprockets for the other RC24 (they are estimated to be shipped late October by CMSNL) and ride season is close to a end, I will just change the rear wheels between the RC24's I think, a CBR F2 wheel is coming to the rear of this RC24 this winter anyway. 1 Quote

I hate it when that happens. Too many times for me to count. Plug it! Quote
Member Contributer bmart Posted September 18, 2024 Member Contributer Posted September 18, 2024 Plug it properly and run that sucker! Quote
keny Posted September 18, 2024 Author Posted September 18, 2024 Well I could plug it, but as I have a complete wheel to change in, it's easier, that Pirelli Sport Demon is quite old to.... Let's see if less chicken strips tomorrow 😁 Quote

keny Posted September 22, 2024 Author Posted September 22, 2024 Some for time of year really nice ride weather enjoyed this weekend But soon cold air will strike 1 Quote
keny Posted September 29, 2024 Author Posted September 29, 2024 Today had a nice ride whit the red RC24, a bit chilly, +11C, but sunny and roads mostly clear of dirt farmers had bring on the roads from fealds, thanks to 2½ days of heavy rain days before. Did visit my favorite cafe to as usual if open, not open year round, and now only on weekends It's a colorful fall coming 3 1 Quote
keny Posted October 16, 2024 Author Posted October 16, 2024 Well, the RC24 has been resting now. I can see I have some things to do to it during winter, aside the 17" rear wheel conversation as cbr900 front fairing. I see that my repair of the tail section has not hold on other side I don't know if the rack is reason to that? Have to look into it. 3 Quote

I'd say maybe is rack related. I ended up bonding my tail light to the plastic so it became one item. I'm going to have a bit of a reinforcement session when I get a chance, fix the mounts (front ones are both cracked, rear where the grab rail fixed as well)) and bond some metal around so it won't break again (short of destroying the entire thing). 1 Quote

I'd say maybe is rack related Both sides had a crack at that place, did repair both sides whit plastic welding using a thin aluminum net melting it into plastic but this side didn't hold. I agree that probably rack related, also the fastners of fairings has not the correct spacers as rubbers, some former owner has lost them.... Plans to make new spacers as a friend has a shop that makes small metal bits, so automaticaised as menual lathe's available... Quote
keny Posted November 17, 2024 Author Posted November 17, 2024 A bit work on the RWB 86 for a chance Did take clutch cover off to check the oil pump chain that former owner claimed to be very loose. Well first, the cap's head is round so needs harder treatment to get off as needs to be replaced Then the oil dip stick is missing the O ring And seems I need to make a special tool to get the clutch inner off Actually the oil pump chain doesn't seem that loose to me, they usually are a bit loose, but I will take the clutch off to check anyway. And for this clutch cover I have got a new gasket, good as in bits Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted November 17, 2024 Member Contributer Posted November 17, 2024 The oil pump chains are loose to begin with. To the point everyone thinks there's a problem. There isn't. Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted November 17, 2024 Member Contributer Posted November 17, 2024 Clutch basket appears to be in good shape judging by the reflections across (what appear to be) minimal grooves in the outer basket fingers. Quote

Yes, they are not too bad But the clutch springs has made deep groves! Now I'm wondering if it's from them the snapping noice like something slipping is coming from as you release the clutch 🤔 Quote
Member Contributer bmart Posted November 25, 2024 Member Contributer Posted November 25, 2024 To state the obvious, normal wear in there is normal, but you can break off the posts. I found my similar issue from an oil analysis in one of the track bikes. Normal wear: Less normal! lol 3 Quote

Well if the crowd insist..... Got myself a 1990 Volkswagen Golf MK2, 1,8 petrol (not GTI) And for son working on a tired MK3 Golf I got for free Sins let out 1 Quote
keny Posted December 29, 2024 Author Posted December 29, 2024 Well as Dutchy's hope for a new bike did happen today (more of how in my other topic) I got confirmation on how to possibly get a combination of RC24/2 triple (lower) to work whit a cbr600F2 front wheel to work whit the odometer drive and 296mm discs, it's by using Honda CB SevenFifty F2 RC42 fork lowers. Well yes, could measure as now got a RC42 in my garage. Quote
keny Posted January 2, 2025 Author Posted January 2, 2025 Everyone that has a RC24 should know what I have made, the black is orginal So as I did some messurment on my, new to me, RC42 CB750F2, the sprocket to break disc spacing is unusual same 1986 RC24 1995 CB750F2 RC42 Have not messured distance from center of wheel to them yet through, and if it would be the same you would still need to convert the CB wheel to accept a 20mm axle as it has a 17mm one, but not impossible Quote
