    At the calculator or at the rear wheel.

    0.0 in both cases.

    Engine is zipped together just needs wiring finished but that is with Pete and I'm working on wiring my 496. And dirtbike maintenance. We're off down south next week with the lads so another week on no garage progress.

    Good grief. Coming up on a year since last update where it sat In Pete's garage largely untouched. OK so last week he bolted the pipe on.
    Back in mine on Sunday.
    Throttle cable made. Clutch cable sorted. Sprocket fitted properly.
    Wiring mostly complete. Battery for setup then will sort charging is working.

    Pc talks to cdi. Sparks using test.

    Rotor tapped to new inner and fitted with studlock aplenty.

    Just rubs on backplate screws so may need to move that back a mm or two then can spin and see if it sees the pickup and can try starting it.

    Not that keen on the pipe that came with it but will do for testing. RS125 in the wings.

    Wheels of course unchanged. Guess that will be up to me as well.

    Cheers Rob. I assume the Lifan to TF rotor has same spacing as GP so odd that it rubs a bit. Did you have to shave yours back a bit?

    No, not the flywheel and I too would have thought things would be much the same.

    I do remember that some stater plates were relived on the back in the main bearing oil seal area so they would sit down flat and the outside diameter turned down a bit so they would fit inside the original GP cases but we worked on a lot of different units so I cant remember the specifics of the Lifan stater plate mod but yours could easily be hanging up on the oil seal, check that and also try skimming a couple of mill of the back of the stater plate.

    Think I did the oil seal but will recheck. Had to do the outer pretty sure. May just need to spot those other take to work on the mill.

    Doing a garage night tonight with Pete. Last time we didn't even get the bike off the trailer but bike is in garage so maybe we should be on task. In between rigorous testing of beverages. Quality assurance begins at home.

    We'll it runs not 1/2 An hr ago (like 1.30am). Short test ride in the driveway. Let clutch out, pull it in 10 feet later, rev bike a few times turn it off. Sweet!

    We may have a drunken little. But very nice beer.

    Yeah tried to start it on the stand a couple of times but got all excited and opened the garage door. Did evaluate the situation and decided not to get near the road as we'd moved onto the 8% beers some while back. In fact with Pete's car in drive we had about a car length to start it and 1/2 To stop it before the back of the van.

    1st time it barked into life.

    I've marked 10, 15, 20 degrees on the flywhee (on some tape using a degree wheel)l vs a blued line on the stator. Next we'll run it up with the strobe light. If it shows closer to 20 retard it a few degrees on the Ignitech base advance. Currently it has a 15deg flat line. That way at any revs it should line up. Then we can get it near the dyno and adjust.

    Also trailed in the 3.5" rear wheel. Some new bearing will convert 17 to 20mm axle. Just spacers now.
