Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted March 3, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2011 Woodcraft...much nicer. the rear brake looks very similar to the 929/954 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Racetech 1.0's & Motorex oil arrived today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcincy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Finances dictated a conservative off season Got the VFRness and Motovation sliders installed and tossed on some new rubber. Fluid changes will be this week then just chomping at the weather... Did procure a set of Racetech 1.0 springs for cheap, but will hold until I get a solution for the rear before getting those in.

Member Contributer y2kvfr Posted March 19, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 19, 2011 Dubious Chinese Pazzo Look A Like Levers Brake pads all around Steering head bearings PAIR block off Stock size rear sprocket PC2 & 02 Elims Clean out switch pods and regrease clean electrical connectors and apply dielectric grease Yesterday I started with this: Drained coolant (new crush washers @ $2 each :( ) Replaced the t-stat o-ring (and greased it this time) new coolant + an ounce or two of Water Wetter - Knock wood no leaks Added tank bolt mounted ram ball (I had some 40mm cap head screws from when I used to make mirror extenders, so I used them) Cleaned the forks and calipers Washed the tupper ware (still off bike) Cleaned and re-oiled the air filter Cleaned the switch pods with contact cleaner and regreased Rode the CHonda around a little (oh, wait, that's not maintenance). Left to do: Shorten chain (waiting on the chain tool) Change oil (need to go to Wal*Mart and pick up oil, going to use a bosch filter this time) wax plastic and tank reassemble the body work Figure out what the extra screws nuts and bolts are for. Almost done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted March 19, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yesterday I started with this: Almost done! You're way ahead of Cornercarver! I don't think he's going to allow me over anymore. Every time I go to his house more stuff comes off his bike. There's not much left to take off...

Almost done! Chain - turns out I was at 108 links with the +3 rear, so I broke the chain for nothing other than learning how to stake a master link - done. Coolant leaks - Fixed Tupperware - waxed & back on Bed in the brake pads ride - check w000t! I'm done. Steering head bearings will wait until next year. Digging the DCPLAL Levers. LOOOOOVING the EBC brake pads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CHUCK2 Posted April 4, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2011 Well,at this point they're going to be Spring time Mods apparently. When the time comes that the weather is finally warm enough for me to work in the garage & I'm in the right frame of mind,I'll be installing(or at least trying to install) the following: -TPX Radar Detector & LED Alert on a Control Mount -FuzeBlock -Gear Indicator -Head Light Switch -Volt Meter connected to a switch -Peg Lwr.Blocks I still have to figure out which colors of wire to get & where I'll use each color.Along with some how determining what length to buy. I do know the different gauges I will need.So I guess that's a start! As for maitenance: -Oil change with Mobil 1 Full Syn.10w40 & a K&N filter -visually check,clean,lube various other things I've never done much electrical work at all before so it's going to be interesting. Once I get started,which I'm getting anxious about, I feel as if things will go smoothly. Or so I hope. If I remember, I'll take pics as I go along. Hmm..I still have to make room in the garage to be able to do this work. I guess my XR will have a new home on the patio under a tarp while I do all this. Perhaps the Honda mower as well.

SEBSPEED Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I haven't done anything with my VTEC other than use it for a shelf for parts and tools while I work on other bikes. I have managed to land a Wilbers triple clicker though, and BR's sending me a spring, so now the suspension at both ends will be top notch... when I get around to putting it in...

SEBSPEED Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 One month till TMAC... guess it's time to start on the VTEC... turns out it needs a chain again. There goes an unexpected $150... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
