Fastdruid Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Easiest way to remove engine is to lift the frame off! Plus it was a good time to do a bit of a refresh in general. It didn't take long to do the work... but it was off the road for 5 months. Old engine is sat in the garage. Turned out to be quite a bit down on power compared to the new engine (old one had 67k, new one 30k). Plan is to take it to 840cc... 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastdruid Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Checked the dates, Off the road 7 months! Exhaust blew 4th Dec. Didn't touch it for a month. Took the old engine out end of Jan. New engine in start of March. Discovered replacement engine had exploded a clutch plate and was filled with bits. Didn't know what kind of damage it had caused and so took it back to the breakers for a refund. Bought another engine...turned out to be a VFR750K not a VFR750FK (5spd, restricted to 75PS although unsure if physically restricted) Didn't find another reasonably priced engine for 3 months. Picked up another one mid June and went from this on the 14th to all back together by the 21st So about a weeks work but spread over 7 months and a bunch of grief. As well as the exhaust I did overhaul the brakes (new pads all round), forks, replace the rear disc, chain+sprocket, shock and swap the rear brake line for braided. As well as replacing the anti-dive bearing and cleaning and lubing pretty much everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
