 Thanks for the pointers  Randy/Bill must admit the replacements were not OEM.
I will just have 2 see how they go, until next time. then I will get OEM ,s
Cheers  Rich,      ps Randy Those Vibrinators work a treat and thanks for getting them to
me here in the uk so quickly.

Replaced fork oil seals,this is a yearly occurance,the seals never seem too last that
long before they weep.

Rich,

If that is the case it might be time to put a set of bushing in the forks as well. If you are replacing seals annually due to leakage, you probably have excessive wear in the bushings.

This is a fork rebuild kit that uses the O.E. NOK seal & wiper and has the upper & lower bushings as well as new replacement snap rings; http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=M%2FC%3AForkR%2FBKit

Glad to here the Vibranators are absorbing those pesky bar vibrations.

I replaced the stock 16" front tire with a new one and what a difference!!!

Before the bike felt heavy in the turns and had a tendency towards an "headshake" at speeds between 60 and 90 km.
Now it feels light in the turns and no headshake tendency noted.
I told my wife that if she can´t find me I will be out riding the bike with a big grin on my face 
It had a 10 year old Bridgestone BT from previous owner, but I picked the Pirelli Sport Demon as I had read somewhere that the Bridgestone´s were not the best.

The next will be to sinc the carbs and then to get a quote for shipping the bike again to scandinavia so that I will have something to ride when I´m at work -I have some dirt bikes to ride when at home in Iceland

I didn't do this today, I did it last weekend and finished it yesterday - I installed the brand-new carbs that Bob Weymouth sold me.  I installed them in an afternoon last Sunday (the OEM airbox is a pain like everyone says) and it fired right up like a dream. 

I tried to synch them with a length of clear tubing and some ATF, but it sucked the ATF right up the tubing into the #4 carburetor before I could balance it with #3 and blew out a bunch of smoke like an old Dodge truck I used to have.  Arggh - quittin' time.

Took it for a ride to warm it up yesterday before trying to synch the carbs again using some plastic screw protectors stuck into the tubing to act as restrictors, and on the warm-up ride it pulled rough as a cobb at low throttle - uh-oh, same as before, maybe the problem is something else?  Balanced the carbs with the restricted tubes, didn't burn much ATF at all, got #3 and #4 balanced together okay, everything else was pretty close.

Took it for another ride and YEE-HAAH, smooth as glass, idled evenly, pulled like a new bike.

DONE.

Boone, here we come.

[Pocket Bike Tim]

Good on you Bill. Just started mine and let it warmup.Took it up to about 4,000 rpm. Just to hear it sing.

[big r]

Installed my new front fender. Started the bike and warmed her up while sitting on and watching the snow come down, only plus one C.

[Yamifj1200]

Changed the oil and filter on the 91, installed a new battery and fixed the fuel level in the number 4 carb. Gave the bike a much needed bath and fired her up for the first time since last September. Took a ride around the neighborhood several times to check out the work.

I will be riding her to work tomorrow and getting an inspection sticker on it. It's been a long time since I was able to ride the bike and it sure felt good to be back on the road again..

I will see you all in Boone next month...

Still working on wearing the front tire out.

[Dazza57]

Well, I've had the beast for 3 weeks now, still waiting on a new regulator which I hope will cure the charging problems. Riding to work every day, which has about 2 kms of dirt into work, so she was starting to look a bit grubby. So yesterday I washed her and polished everything. She looks sweet  The day before I had the fairing off, checking all the wiring and just looking at stuff. I am unable to change the fork settings, something not right in there  Reckon I'll order some new constant rate springs and emulators from Randy. Also dreaming of higher bars, thinking seriously of the LSL kit, specially as it has the braided lines as well.

So show us!

Weather was crappy for a SoCal ride so I pulled the trigger and pulled the ass end off. Getting ready to put a GSXR 17' x 5.5' rear on before WCR. I pulled the swing arm off to mount the attachment for the under-slung brake stay and was surprised to find the bearings in great shape. There is a lot of crap to clean off, 23+ years of oil, chain lube and road grime..... I wish I could afford a new rear shock. I just need to measure for the new spacers and verify the chain alignment before I put my Purple wheel on and complete my first major MOD. Then change the Fugly color after the old rear skin is worn out, maybe from the great rides at the WCR.

I can see the end of this winters mod session.This weekend I got the throttle cables to length and functional.I started doing the body work and paint.I got the flasher wired in and working.Made a license plate bracket,and got the rear led's working.











I'm pretty much down to the tank and front fairing.Paint is satin black rattle can.I will probably add some dark red details.And yes,I got a little carried away.
