Well a good days work I think Finalised the battery and wiring set-up Bought the fibreglass kit Wrapped the bike in cling film Fibreglassed the seat , including the internal block of alloy for the rear attachment. Manged to re-use the rear attachment bracket of the original seat to locate...

Well we are back on it after a lovely summer. Battery and electrical tray completed and ready for trial fit and just about to order some Fibreglass to get the seat base done. Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr more piccies as it's moves on

Bought these two items a couple of years ago, but decided they are no longer needed. Both have been stored indoors and are unused. The Tool roll still has the labels attached, both come in the original packaging The Terrain pannier has multiple mounting options, including using it as a...

Cheers, so the oil seal (7) sits inside the swingarm and that plate (14) sits over the bush that is still sticking out by approx 7mm. In other words, if i make a new plate (14) out of 7mm steel that will be all i need. Is that a correct description? Thanks again Dave

Just put the motor back in my SR250 project and I have noticed a bare section of bush showing. I cannot recall removing anything from here (it's been 4 years since I stripped it down) :-[ Please see the left hand side of the picture below, you can clearly see the bare bush. The exploded view...

Just got back for Fastline Parts, Graham has just finished my levers and controls. Complete strip down, aquablast, re-plate all fittings, including the electrical connectors etc. They look superb Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr Untitled by...

Its been a slow 3 weekends on the bike, the de-tabbing and blending out of the shock mount area took ages. Hopefully it will be OK when it's painted. Manicuring with a 4.5" angle grinder would be the best way to describe it, thank goodness for the Dremmel to finish off all 'the hard to get to'...

That solution would have been easier, as we had to use liquid Nitrogen to get those threaded ones out of the forks, they had well and truly stuck/corroded :-\ What views do you guys have on the placement of the voltage regulator? I would like to hide it out of the way to keep the triangle...

They are what came with the bike, how are they different to yours?

Not as much done as I thought I would get done with a few days off work, mainly due the Mrs Having decorating plans for me ::) However I managed to source some hand rolled mudguards made to my dimensions for a bargain of £50 plus postage for both front and rear !!!! Also sourced some tabs from...

New Yamaha piston rings on their way from Bulgaria ::) Not a great deal done this weekend, the loom has been cleaned with IPA and a lot of elbow grease (plus the aid of a toothbrush). Change of heart on the build this morning though, I'm removing the side panels and going for an open...

I think it's easier to order some new rings so that's what I'll do, at least when I button it all up it should be sorted. The good news is I got the top yolk assembly back from aqua blasting, all bolts , nuts etc re-plated. Graham is just going to do the controls as I am having them raw alloy...

That could be the case, I was going to rebuild it with the old rings, but the top ring has lost its marking so I don’t know which way round it goes. Having had a close look at it it seems to have the same tiny chamfer on the lower and upper surfaces. Do you think it will go in either way...

Thought as much Thanks. I'll see if the Yamaha dealer will take them back as it's been two years since I bought them. I'll pop the old rings back in for now and look to change them next winter. Cheers for the advice Dave

Just about to pop new rings in and checked the sizes of the old rings, they are mainly gapped at 0.65mm ish. Took the new rings out of the packet and placed them in the bore only to find they overlap 5mm!! is this correct. In my old karting/2 stroke days they rings only needed a small fettle if...

Cheers, I'm sure the red O ring and thin metal sleeve sits in the oil way on the crankcase i.e. the top right position here Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr This coincides with the same position on the lower cylinder in this picture Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr The other...

Right gents I need some help please?? Head is now assembled and finished Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr Untitled by eastham_david, on Flickr but embarrassingly I'm having trouble sorting the gasket/seal/spacer...

not yet, just struggling with work and Christmas prep etc. Hopefully engine will be back together over Christmas

Cheers, after much Googling last night (and before you replied) I noticed the bolt in the oil filter cover :) So that's that mystery sorted, thanks for the help. The hole in my head is threaded, its the one in the picture, just above the centreline of the cam. It is behind the top cam...
