You are a brave man, a very brave man!
[/size][/color]Glad it's all going well so far., Alex (my son) who now has my 5PW R1 has this job ahead of him, apparently it is still possible to locate headers for it, last time I found some in a race workshop as they usually don't use them. R1 has now covered 67,000 miles but found same model on MCN with 79,000 on the clock for sale at around £3k!![/font]
[/size][/color]Glad to say my little Fazer 8 is still doing the job well and has been around Brands a few more times and best of all enjoyed a day at Thruxton with 3 x 20 min sessions, long day 100 miles each way and best of all though did 100 miles track mileage, was a bit knackered to say the least[/font]

Cheers Christine......I'd like to keep the pipes and clean em up but just had the exup out and it rusted quite badly. Not sure wether to just remove or repair it....

OOOPS....

Can't get this off....tried heat....any ideas??

Exupnut · « **Reply #41 on:** 18 October 2015, 03:43:48 pm »

Fuck.......got the pulley off (thanks Deadeye) but bent it trying to get the valve out..... What are my options ?????

Do u think this was to big ??

noggythenog · « **Reply #42 on:** 18 October 2015, 03:47:03 pm »

Good effort with the Lech....I got some outta lidl the other day quite nice...not as nice as Tyskie though....oh good work too

Exupnut · « **Reply #43 on:** 19 October 2015, 09:11:46 am »

Found a little paraffin burner after a clear out and got that going for the winter.

We tried to straighten the valve out and although it went back together it wouldn't turn correctly when fitted

Exupnut · « **Reply #44 on:** 19 October 2015, 09:14:39 am »

Also found the problem with the "choke cable"

Exupnut · « **Reply #45 on:** 19 October 2015, 09:29:12 am »

The pin runs through all 4 carbs internally and the end has snapped off.....it's either a pain in the arse to start or a free security mod lol

I will just clean the bike this week and think about where to go with this.

I'm not sure how far to go considering it's only 18k. I am gonna keep the bike and probably strip it down around 60/70k so the work I do now shud make that easier. Not sure about the carb pin or wether to repair or remove the exup valve. Also I was thinking of having the rad off for good access to the header bolts. And possible respray/engine tidy without having the block out. I was thinking maybe get the stands out and spray them and under the bike with something that looks tidy and has protective elements.

Advice appreciated

If anyone has exup bits for sale let me know as that will help determine the first issue to solve.

Has the pin snapped or has the external circlip thingy gone missing?

Exupnut · « **Reply #47 on:** 19 October 2015, 07:38:16 pm »

The pin has snapped off

Exupnut · « **Reply #48 on:** 19 October 2015, 11:31:19 pm »

Has any body had any experience of fitting these ?

Should be just a case of removing and replacing.

Re swinging arm and chain. If your new chain is endless, put it on the swing arm before refitting.
