if it hasnt been out for a long time it may have wear marks in it causing it to catch can be a bitch to get out try turning it while hitting it and as noobi said remove other bolt and move the motor/ swing arm around a bit.

Its always a good ride when you come home in one piece.
mad thou rider
well that was a proper cunt.
I got the bolt out that was giving me trouble, but i damaged the thread doing it - it was unavoidable unfortunately. Ill see if the thread is fixable, and if not, ill see if someone wrecking a bike has one I can get cheaply.
The bearings and bushes that were inside had completely disintegrated, which explains why the bolt was such a bitch.
bought a few supplies today too to tidy a few other areas of the bike up.
Next step is ordering some parts, and heaps of sanding, cleaning, etc etc to tidy it up a bit more.
at least the entire engine is out now which is what I wanted to accomplish for the day.

Depending on how much of the thread is damaged you should be able to grind it a little shorter and get away with it.
or try ebay.

Wot he says. Or clean it up with a thread file.

yeah Ill get round to it, theres no hurry. I figure while its mostly apart i might as well go the whole hog and strip it and take a proper look.
Its gonna be a few weeks before its important yet, need to tidy the frame up, paint a few peripheral items, rebuild the engine, replace the rear tyre and tube, get new chain and sprockets, new linkage bushes/bearins, new wheel bearings . . . ..
why am I doing this again?

Because it's fun. Rach and I have an RM400T in our lounge that we're slowly rebuilding. It's a massive job...as the original bike was near 100% fucked. We're looking forward to seeing it finised and riding it, as I'm sure you are!why am I doing this again?
mad thou rider
yeah I'll be glad when I can ride it again, but I can see that being 3 months away if not more. wait for payday, buy a couple things, then wait for them to arrive so i can do something, then repeat, not always much point ordering things too far ahead either, it never seems to work out . . .
Pulled the rear subframe off and removed the airbox etc from it. spent about 30 seconds sanding it, then thought nah, fuck this - Its cheap to powdercoat (I had decided to paint it to give me something to do) shouldnt cost much more than $50 or so, theyre a simple, and fairly small item. There a couple places down here that can do it.
Any thoughts on what colour for the frame?
original was white, which does look okay, also thought black might look nice as well. briefly thought about getting it done in an orange the same as the plastics too, but I dunno.
mad thou rider
just realised I dont think I put up a pic of the whole thing.
heres a pic from before i pulled it apart for reference
mad thou rider
got around to this again yesterday.
decided Id paint the subframe and see how it looked. its now black, with a couple coats on it. Might do the rest of it the same as well when i can be bothered!
I started on the exhaust too, cleaned it all up, degreased it, then attacked it with a wire brush, gave it a bit of a sand, and painted the muffler tail pipe with high temp paint. looks okay.
I guess i will keep tinkering away at painting the frame as i wait for engine parts.
mad thou rider
not sure if anyone is still following this or not, but figured Id keep updating it anyway.
Got into the shed again tonight.
the tail pipe now has a couple coats of paint on it, and the subframe has three coats - might clearcoat it as well, but we will see.
I got the frond end apart, pulled electrics off, and its basically just the bare frame now, with the exception of two or three bolts that broke off - They have been doused in WD40, and Ill try to whip them out probably tomorrow after work, before starting to sand and paint the frame as well.
I found on Ebay the Exhaust manifold seal, so I went ahead and bought it, since it was $5 or so.
I also ordered a few more bits I need, including a rear tube, spark plug, top end bearing, top gasket set and a front brake lever. - hopefully will arrive on Saturday.
I also bought grease today for when I put the whole thing back together - ill do everything I can find.
The piston, ring, gudgeon etc etc are also on the way as we speak.
I have to go away for easter, and a friend is getting married in the weekend, so I doubt I will get anything else done until the middle of next week when my parts have all arrived.
Then it will be reassemble the engine, sand the frame, paint it, reassemble the frame, fix/replace the engine mount/swing arm bolt, put the electrics, radiators and engine back in then i need bushes etc for the arse end.
Still shitloads of stuff to do, but its nice to have somethig to tinker with in the shed!

The deeper you dig, the more stuff you find you need to do! Always the way.
mad thou rider
aint that the truth. thats why I try to build a list of things before I start, otherwise i try to do one job, get sidetracked 8 times and end up with a bike in parts when all I wanted was a simple oil change!!!
got most of the stuck bolts that had broken off out, but three are refusing despite being doused in WD 40, having a groove nicked into the top and being tempted to loosen by a flat head, no go.
might drill out and re tap. cant be fucked doing that right now though, so it will have to wait.
