Yeh just visually. Fairing are buying repair so cheaper to convert than find some decent fairings. I have an old GTR loom as the original was butchered. Pretty sure the forks have the holes for the upper headlight bracken you linked me to. So it’s just a case of the headlight bracket, dash holder, front lamp and a custom make a headlamp loom from…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply Tom. Just got so disheartened with it. Sort 1 thing and another fault pops up. I started at the end and worked back. By shorting the starter Relay i know the wire to the starter and the starter it’s self are ok. Bought a multi meter to test wiring. Followed the wiring from the switch into the main loom. Where i found a…[Read more]

Aint got a clue what i need to check as electrics aint my strong point. Think i’m gunna cut my loses and get rid of it. Can’t afford to spend any more on it and i know for a fact i’m gunna lose money as it is.

Thanks for commenting Tom. Just frustrating i’ve come this far and now it wont start 😖 I’m Pretty sure its a wiring issue. Indicators and pass light wouldn’t work but when i jiggled the wires they worked. Looks like it’s time to check all plugs and wiring again. Both fuses on the bike are ok to. So i’m guessing it’s from the switch to the starter…[Read more]

Thanks for your help. I did the above and got the airbox back on and got the bike started with no air leaks either 😁 Just need a new airbox now 👍

Bit of an update. I sourced a used working engine so i could moving with this. I still have the old engine so can get it all rebuilt. The oil pump failed causing a lot of damage. I will at some point get it stripped and rebuilt. Whilst the engine was out i stripped off the tape off the wiring loom, checked, cleaned and retaped the wiring loom. I…[Read more]

I pulled the airbox off the carbs (breaking the airbox at the retaining screws) so it came off with the 2 small rubber sealing rings still attached to the airbox not the carbs. So do i attach the seals to the top of the carbs and secure with the clip attached then just push the airbox onto the carb with a bit of lube and the seals should pop…[Read more]

So we replace the 1 pipe from pump at back to inlet. And then 1 from the fuel tank to the other inlet? Is it that simple?

And EGR Delete is fit EGR blanks and clamp off ALL Pipes that go the the EGR and remove it?

Hoping to do the above to mine this wk

Slight update. The engine is now out of the frame. I think i know why this bikes engines in a rough state. The entire bike doesn’t look like it been looked after. The amount of sized, rusted, missing and mis matched screws/ bolts is unreal. Seems everything is standard regard coils, leads etc. Carbs are still on as they didn’t look the easiest to…[Read more]

1. At the moment i’ve not really got any further apart from taken 1 plug out. Bit tight for space in the garage so can oy really work on it/ have a look when weather is decent and it’s light so time wise i’m limited. A lad i know thru a fishing club his dad has his own shop and runs a MX team so i’ve asked him for a rough cost just to have a look…

Just out of interest does anybody know what the rough price for an engine/ gearbox rebuild is?🤔

Soooo i just drained the oill…….

😖😪😭

It’s only to use whilst i change the clutch and get it up and running. Then will be changing it again along with the brake fluid. Weather should be decent enough this week end to get the clutch apart and check it all over 👍

Getting some oil to replace what i take drain when i remove the clutch this wk end (weather permitting) would this Castrol oil be ok to use for now? (Cheap and i can get it tomorrow rather than waiting) will upgrade oil if/ when it’s running

I have the chain for bike it’s just not on as owner took it off to deter bike thieves. It worked as…[Read more]

I didn’t check the clutch and clutch basket 1st 😕 I charged the battery and checked if it cranked over. That’s as far as i have gone so far.

Neutral light is on but no chain on the bike to check if it moves freely in gear. Also gear lever peg is broken off (how it was when i picked it up)

It does have a side kick stand with complete wiring so…[Read more]

shall do just that when i get to the point of refitting fairings. Which hopefully should be soon if i can get the bike running.
