Well after a few a couple of months the bike is finallly all back together and working as honda intended, it feels like a completely differant bike, which i'm glad about as i was pretty disapointed, performance wise when i got it. List below of whats been done since i stripped it just after christmas,
New crank
Top end rebuild
replaced rc valves and shafts, nuts, bolts and washers
fully rebuilt the dry clutch
new clutch basket
new grips
throttle tube
new throttle cables
fitted the correct oil pump
replaced every engine seal
replaced all the clutch bearings,spacer tube, gearbox oil pump, gearbox seal plate, locating dowels, clutch basket bolts, gearbox holding bolts, water pump shim, gearbox circlips, air solenoid filter and front engine mounts that were all missing.
New coolant hoses
refurbed the radiator
fitted correct gearbox filler cap
new float bowl seals
spark plugs
cleaned airfilter
cleaned up the crankcases
fitted stainless side by side tygas
fitted a new clock surround
kmh to mph convertor
serviced and adjusted and balanced the carbs
plastic welded and resprayed one side of the rear seat unit
removed m-max box and spliced the loom
sealed up the airbox rubbers
lubricted all cables
Gave it a couple of heat cycles and went for aquick ride this afternoon, first thing is it starts, ildes and responds perfectly and i must say goes like the clappers, i was taking it easy, treating it to a final heat cycle but made sure the gearbox was working ok after re assembling it. on the couple of occasions i let it have it, it really went, it now has the top end i thought it should of had and would give my old rgv's a couple of black eyes.
once the weathers picked up i'll get it on the dyno to check settings and see what she puts out.
Next on the list is refitting a standard swingarm (its painted black at the moment) and having a look at the front brakes, which are a bit too wooden for me at the moment, no feel. perhaps have a look at the pads or maybe even stick a fireblade radial mc on it. Next winter i plan on getting the wheels refurbed and i'm going to start colloecting spare body pannels and return it to its pentax colours.
will stick some pic's up tomorrow.
Thanks to the people who supplied me with a couple of the spares i required, hopefully one day i can return the favour.
