hello been awhile no am still working on the bike its up to wof/ standred
The body fairings look horrible as ever but determinded i get replacment parts once i get the money
And b find somone that can make them . i got guy in germany but that like grand for everthing.
Okay am not perosn that likes things when know there not the best so after noticed ever since been ridding
the bike the clutch didnt seem 100% , it changes gears fine smoth just didnt seem to hook up like it did
So anyways i rode it on open road when hit 8 thousand rpm notiched on full trottle clutch whould slip.
SO needed new chain i thought about and yeah i chould leave it but nah i know it save me money
And cant really afford it but no so i ordered set ebc heavy duty clutch plates , and spings, i read where new
Steel clutch bands be good too ,but i left that , well ordered gasket for clutch cover also.
Taken cover of tonight and found plates where worn down, mind you from new there only like 4 mm of
thinkness , bike done 47,000 miles so guess thats not to bad ,the spings where bit heated and seem be
alot less tension than replacments , so seems was good move whet i spent so far.
I found good video on ebay for vfr 750 so after watching that was happy to give it a go
I but the new plates in tommrow got them soaking in some new oil overnight
I also had 2 replace the seals in the master cylinder of the clutch , well guy manawatu motorcyels did that
for me thanks dude.
bleeding the clutch was trail and error seems air can get traped in the banjo bolt where bolts to the
resvior so case undo it slighty and letting air out . then going back , pumping lever then letitng of the
10mm bolt down on the slave cylinder , i brought just piece plastic tube from mitre 10 only like 60 cents
Better than 10 bucks for bleed kit and just use glass jam jar and punch hole in the lid feed the plastic tube
through , am bit stuck with the chain i brought did x ring chain but got either to buy chain riverter
tool or get some understaning bike shop to do for me . i rather do myself but dont think cost of buying on
is worth it as am only going use it once. in mean time i hold of as i should get new sprockets
I was like no am not going listen to people saying buy new sprokets but yeah i will .
