Stu Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 well time to get the bike ready for the summer first job swap my EU headlight for the UK one i won on ebay 5 min job next on the list adjust valve clearances, set throttle position sensor, balance throttle bodies, get it set up on a dyno, check steering head bearings, new oil in steering damper (or new one) save for new rear shock and fit that, then save for new for springs and fit them and hopefully re valve forks but that could run into the summer, all new wheel bearings plus a few extra little things along the way started off like this currently like this for now will post more pics as time goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ohh, so it doesn't need it? Your just improving it? Do you ever take it to the tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 it needs some stuff doing like adjust valve clearances but when you do that you have to balance throttle bodies and before you do that you have to set throttle position sensor then it needs seting up on a dyno, also needs new oil in steering damper (or new one) i want a new rear shock and new fork springs and all new wheel bearingsnot done any track days on it YET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
