Oh, it is highly recommended, especially if mosquito-borne tropical disease is rampant.

Sorry X. I'll probably take a pass on the insect born excitement but my springs finally showed up!

I just read through this. I don't know much about Kawasaki's but it looks like you've done some nice upgrades.

I'm jealous of you, riding in this warm weather. At the rate my projects go I prolly wont have mine running till winter. :

 

[canyoncarver]

Thanks Leon!. Your is cool. I dig that tank you made.


My effort is to make sure the zrx is road ready at least a good chunk of every summer, my wife likes to plan road trips. I do not complain.

... my springs finally showed up!

I knew something was missing. Figured they must've shipped separately.

 

[canyoncarver]

Feeling like I'll need to put the new clutch in next.

 

[canyoncarver]

Starting in on the forks and clutch. Front end first. I'm seriously thinking of doing a round headlight.

And because Justin:

Finally!

 

[canyoncarver]

No doubt eh? Also, because somebody else asked me what the hell "ProTrack" is:

Ordered a tapered stem bearing kit. It hasn't been apart since new so I'm trying to think proactive.

 

[canyoncarver]

Stuff is still happening. Parts bike needed disassembly for an order of operations problem.

Time for some PMS

Time for some PMS

Yeah, it was grubby. I got it down to the frame last night. I need to pull apart the forks, especially the right leg. My original might be wonky.

 

[JustinLonghorn]

I'll take that spare motor off of your hands.

Justin buddy I would but you don't want this engine. It's got a rod knock so I'm going to part it out. It was layed down at some point and probably ran on it's side for too long. These engines do not like that. It tends to hose the crank bearings enough so a few hundred or a few thousand miles later, it gets noisy and thunk. There is a tip-over kill switch mod that is documented over on the OA. I've considered it for mine.

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Yeah, I've read about those. I don't want to take my motor apart. It is going strong, I don't want to jinx that.

I hear that. Too late for me maybe, when I stripped my forks down for the Race-Tech goodies, I didn't like what I found in the right fork pipe.
After the forks, I do the clutch and hoping not to find starter chain nicks on my clutch basket.

One of my cousins ran my grandmother's Cordoba without oil. My old man had already spent an ass of cash on upkeep and warned her to keep them away from the car. When it got rod knock, he told her he wasn't fixing it and that as long as she kept it local it would be fine. She drove that car with rod knock for over 10 years.

 

[canyoncarver]

I considered running it but when I put power to it and cranked it, I could tell it was wrong by the sound.

Ahhh. the Cordoba! And with Corinthian leather!!
