what have you done to your "bike" today

[fabiostar]

Pretty much finished building the engine to go I the bike the stage 2 came out of. There's probably another hour or so of work left and I can get the bike built up and off to a new owner.

new owner? waaaaaaaaa? this isnt your bike you are selling is it?

No, no. It's the one that donated the stage 2 and other nice bits. It's a bit scruffy and the plastics have been down the road, but it'll have a fresh engine and a couple of nice bits going with it.

Mirror in the garage so you have something to throw the hammer at?


Is this the biker equivalent of having a mirror above the bed

Cleaned up the manky over winter callipers off Custurd...

Grot is the word...

Couple of hours, scrubbing, dremmel with wire brush, ultra sonic bath, fresh red rubber grease, final wipe & torque up...

Bag em up, got some new pads on order all ready for the next swap in time for winter...

When you get that built it’s going to look like a camel riding a rat mate! Still it won’t happen for a couple of decades!!!!!!

Checked the cam timing and everything is pointing in the right direction. I haven't got the kit or knowledge to check the timing is correct for the cams, but since it's not noticeable out and Roger built the engine I reckon it's going to be OK. So it's the carbs or something major, or a combination of about eight things. Monday with the stock carbs will be a telling day.

MOT for the TL and short ride need more time on the bike was starting to feel it after 60 miles and new leathers didn’t help think I kidded myself with the large boys

If you every need a walk through on degreeing cams, let me know. It really isn't that tough and the kit needed was under $100 here in the states ( and could be even less if you print out a degree wheel off of the net).
All you need is a degree wheel, dial indicator, and a magnetic base or some way to mount the indicator

I actually got out on the Storm today
Great to be out again, the last ride-out was 25th September 2020

I needed to get out for my well being. I also realised the petrol in the bike was now 6 months old

I have been running the bike up to NWT every 6 weeks or there about. Fortunately the bike seemed to be running fine, so on the way back home I filled the tank with Super unleaded. Then another quick blast to get some into the carbs,
