    Just musing, not likely to ever have the coin for an RG500.

    Do you mean without pulling the whole crank apart?

    Cheers

    Yeah.

    Not so bad on twin like the RG cranks, but can you pull the middle pin out of a TZ750, or the middle big end from a GT750 without starting at the outside and working toward it.

    You have to start from the outside I'm afraid, the cranks are very similar to any conventional parallel twin two stroke. The inner webs are one machined item so the crank pin can not be replaced. The jig I am making is used for indexing the pins with the mark on the drive gear. The pins must be at 90 degrees to the mark on the drive gear and of course 180 degrees apart. There are no splines or anything to help with this, hence the need for a jig. When installing the cranks you must align marks on the front and rear cranks.

    Cheers

    Impulse rims will fit the RG. Youo need a spacer for the rear sprocket, and RZ350 disks on the front, turned down 5mm or so as I recall. Get the ones without slots.
    17" front, but not much wider than standard, 140 rear.

    Impulse rear rim on my RG....yup did that years ago...runing a 130/80 17 Metz radial...handles and sticks...anything much wider and its upper exhaust pipes spacing out time,and then them lovely frame side covers get all hot and bothered and melt...well mine did anyway that's the 400 which makes 76HP more power=more heat dun it.......(ask the SV650 guys which side of my RG they saw at Ruapuna,hint,it wasn't the front).and that's not a good look is it.

    As for cranks the Japanese actually thought everyone would buy a new one instead of rebuilding them huh.

    I have a few stashed away.....but rebuilding them is not hard and all the parts are still easily available

    Wheres my engine stands?

    When you get enough donations, save some money or sell one of your children then I will be able to rebuild your crankshafts for you.

    I have drawn up a jig and it's being manufactured as we speak. Looking forward to doing the first set! Have lots to do. First set will be Damian's using the Marinello bearings and seals.

    Cheers

    hay Neil, that's real cool.
    I have the same bearings and seals... the bearings look good.

    That will be very cool if you were able to help with the cranks.
    Once the stand is finished... its RG time.

    I am hoping that the GSX600f rims will not have this issue! My current rim is a 150 so a 160 should be fine.
    Bike stand... hmm just need to get them powder coat and work out a cost.

    Nicely wrapped rims I am thinking... I am impressed so far with the effort of wrapping.
    OK check this out!!! have you EVER seen parts from wreaker that is cleaned, wrapped, labelled and ready to go?

    First off its in a nice cardboard box, with lots of padding, sounds like a expensive dildo...but NO... keep your fly shut in my thread!
     photo DSC00105_zpsb73f6af7.jpg


    So I un wrap and what do I find?
    Each part is shrink wrapped with a decryption and number... very impressive.and the bits..

     photo DSC00106_zpsd1746c69.jpg

    nice and straight... clean with all the bits.

    Engine is gonna sound sweet and crisp batman

    Those rims will come up mint all coloured up.
    Hope there will be quality fasteners to hold the rotors on them, no farm gate galv specials - I will send over the quality customs bike police to confiscate the RG till your well again!

    I'm ripping off the rusty poop and putting on titanium and since I'm captain poverty i expect no less from yourself ay.

    From memory the rims were FA... sorry cant remember the freight cost... it was like 500 beers ago.
    All up landed for $530 NZ.

    Hmmm brain strain... but the cost would have been about 199 pounds... more than the cost of the rims.

    80 pounds for the bits and 199 pounds for shipping = 279pounds = $530 NZ... and NO GST...
