Went on a Group Ride up to Ryka's at Box Hill and had my first experience of Back Marking :thumbup

[noggythenog]

Told my missus i waso ff to the gym....which mainly involved taking the bike for a pre gym ride over the hills, token effort sesh & then a post workout ride down the coast.


Calories burned at the gym - 100


Calories burned riding - who gives a shit :lol

[hairnet]

took a caliper to have a look at the pads and clean it out changed me mind and went inside put kettle on and listened to the cricket  :lol

[unfazed]

Calories burned at the gym - 100

What did you do at the gym to burn 100 calories?

Open the door and sign in and walk out again? :lol

[hairnet]

Took front sprocket cover off to clean out the clag

Cleaned rear wheel and chain too

Footy and cricket on so CBA going out so spin tomorrow maybe before mid and north wales weekend next week

[devilsyam]

well sun was out and could gone for a ride but decided instead to carry on modding nicks new bike

i have already installed a new r6 shock and now needed to swap the r1 front from hedgetrimmer 4 to the new hedgetrimmer 5



end result took 7 hours to completly swap two front ends but i think it looks even better than it did on hedgetrimmer 4

i had to have a little bit of fun



i still have a vcarb swap to do and so odds to tidy up but progressing well

:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :'( :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

[noggythenog]

Best mod ever that :lol


Maybe just me but i said this before in particular with another bike in this colour scheme that the silver on the rad sides and pegs etc looks really out of place and needs blackened up imo.


Definate instant improvement looks wise with the R1 forks and good to see a part of the old bike now being a part of the new one. 8)

[fazersharp]

I actually did laugh out loud ---------- great sense of humor, love it

[unfazed]

It was those upside forks that confused Nick in the hedge, I bet some one said shiny side up  :lol

Finally got some time to fiddle about with the 600!

... it's in rather a shit state...


Still, I pressed on and began some reassembly. Battery on charge and waiting on a few parts and may be able to fire it up in a week or two... or at least try to fire it up.

I still think it will need more or less every bearing replaced (I already did the steering head bearings before it went off the road). I have new wheels so I probably won't need to deal with those at least. I'm guessing the only other one is just the swingarm bearing right?

Before the bike was put off the road, it seemed to have a coolant leak out of the channels in the head... I'm hoping this is just my imagination but I'll find out soon enough


If it eventually turns out to be mechanically ok, then I'll begin prep on the cosmetics

[Billy Balthorpe]

Found out that it needs to be sold and cut my losses. Going to stick it on the 'Bay for £1200.

Got to find another one by the end of June.

Gutted!

[Dead Eye]

What's wrong with it?

[Billy Balthorpe]

EXUP Valve seized, if I have to take the exhaust off to fix/replace it all the studs will snap, to get at them properly the engine will probably have to come out, EXUP cables gone, EXUP pulley gone. The servo still sounds like its working tho. Slight oil leak, probably from the front sprocket oil seal but im too frightened to take the cover off to have a look in case I find something even worse. Tape on the seat hiding a split.
Once ive done all of the above it will still be worth less than I paid for it in my opinion.
Its too tatty for me, even the screw heads under the seat are rusty. By the time ive got it looking anything like nice it will have cost way, way more than its worth..
I'm going to take off the full luggage and sell separately. Which is why I need a set of rear indicators and grab handles.

Shame coz I rode it for the first time since i bought it 3 months ago yesterday and I love they way it goes and handles.

It should sell ok on the 'Bay, its low mileage (26K) with lots of history, hugger, adjustable pegs, heated grips, good tyres and C+S, loud can, 11 months MOT, belly pan, dyno charts to prove 131 RWHP (ok so it was a few years ago), pyramid flip screen, its got a gear position indicator but I unwired it yesterday as it didn't seem to be working properly.

I just want it gone now so i can buy a nice one.

I should have the courage to walk away from a sale if I'm not 100% sure, but he was a nice guy and I sort of convinced myself that it would be ok, what a dick!

[devilsyam]

a good weekend will fix all that stainless bolts replace the crap uns pull the wehole exup out and blank not the best solution but does work as ive ridden bikes like this and yes theres a dip in the power band but you can live with it
seat cover 40 on ebay and staple gun
seal is easy as whole cover comes off seperate from motor
pm me some pics might buy it
ps i have rear indicaters

[brooker81]

fitted exhaust this weekend happy with it. the Mivv went back as it was terrible quality paint finish.

[unfazed]

That is the pipe Yamaha should have put on first day not the OEM monstrosity.
