What have I done.

Looks like false brinelling there Robin.

[Tandum (Robin)]

No it was indexing on the steering. It will be fixed

[Tandum (Robin)]

I've read you can just repack the rollers and the indexing will go away but if I see obvious signs like that, just swap em. 20 Pounds delivered ex UK cos I could not find an ozzie shop selling bearings online.

Hi Robin

Sounds like you went through MotoBins, quite a good bunch, I deal with them often.

Another good shop to source parts is Munich Motorcycles in W.A.

Hey Robin while you have it in bits why not slip a turbo on. Give the boy something to aim for when you next go riding. ELF make some nice fuels too, slip some in the tank, pull out the oxygen sensor and you will leave him in your dust .

Ric, I have an account with simplybearings in the uk. You just need to know the bearings dimensions, Quality bearings at a reasonable price. Munich is motobins biggest customer, verified by UK agents. Pity they add a 100%+ markup on all parts.

Great Idea mark, can you stick one in the mail

It would probably go in here -> http://starshed.net/K100RS/plenum.jpg

Cheers Robin

That's interesting to know.

I like the new avatar Robin, that's really cool.

Hah! Robin - I'd thought that was the EQ8 there!!

Good to read thru your "journey"

Cheers

Hey Bill. Bloody eq8, everytime you ask about it it's coming in two weeks.

[Tandum (Robin)]

Woo hooo. Parts are starting to arrive.

Engine rear seal and o ring are installed. New clutch is in. Gearbox is back on with new rear boots to stop the oil leaks.

Instrument panel is repaired and rebuilt with LED lighting.

Got a steering bearing today so at least it now has one wheel, I'm sure it needs two. But front end is done.

She's wearing a dress as all the engine cover panels are off till the new cam chain tensioner and valve shims arrive.

And the swingarm bearings are taking forever to get here.

The boys F800R is also in shot there.

I see the light down that tunnel getting brighter. Almost there.

Bloody motorbikes, had to pull absolutely everything off the front just to change one bearing ....

[Tandum (Robin)]

Here's another installment.

Got the bike back on the road. All major parts are installed and it's roadworthy again. The shock refurb and bearing fixes have made a world of difference to the bike.

Took a run to the servo for fuel and it cutout on me. Waited a minute or 2 and away it went again, got the fuel, pumped the tyres and headed home. It stopped again. I jumped off for a smoke, we obviously had a heat problem. It started again and I nursed it home, turning it off at lights till we got there. On the last 500 meters odd it was cutting in and out.

This bike has a set of hall effect sensors to trigger the ignition. I hit them with a hairdryer while idling and got the same result. Cuts out and will not restart till it cools. New, this ignition plate with the sensors and cable costs $600 in oz, $400 from the uk or $70 2nd hand from a wreckers if you can find one.

Jaycar sell hall effect sensors for $20 each. Got a pair of them, made them fit and fixed it. I also found a 2nd hand set from a uk wreckers and have them in the mail just in case. Woo hoo.

Just when I thought it was ride time, parts arrived to fix the wobbly stand. Back on the jack it goes.
