Coast to Coast
So now that the rattle-can racer is pretty much taken care of (for now anyways)
I figured i would get started on rejuvenating this sucker.
It looks half decent, but don’t let that fool you.
Everything i’ve touched on it was hand tightened only, and the frame looks to have been repainted, as well as the swing-arm.
I seem to hit a neutral between every gear, and when i was rolling it backwards it suddenly locked up on me. I could roll it forwards but not backwards past a certain point.
Compression is low 90’s, and the crank case was full of gearbox oil. The RHS studs also had a lot of water on them...
This should hopefully be a straight forwards project, repair/rebuild engine, refresh electronics, reassemble.
Not gonna paint the tanks just yet, they only have their original suzuki paint once.
So far the engine is out and apart.
Gotta wait on crank seals and gaskets and find out why i kept hitting false neutrals in between gears.
Bike has 8000km on the odometer.
