You are more than welcome to come doon with an enjun shopping list and have at it!!

Jeez you work quick. I've got most of the block peeled apart, but have not started on the measurements yet.



BTW if the Haynes manual isn't cutting it for you, I've got the yammy shop manual for the 850. Been wanting to scan and make a PDF copy but life keeps getting in the way.

Hi Phracker, me quick no way. i'm working outside so had to dodge the rain 3 times alone today, would be a lot quicker if my tool order had arrived last week and still not shown up.

 

Would'nt mind a copy of the workshop manual alongside the Haynes, especially for engine work, but then i've got Studs & Daps it might be on JBX for a download actually.

 

The measurements, yes and i'll be doing them all over again with a new head, will be getting a micrometer, dont like the vernier for some of them, keep us posted, maybe start a new thread with your build, every bit helps :good:

I'll start a thread here shortly. Got a bunch of photos and just trying to sort things out.

Woopwoop got the little boogers undone so see if i cant pull the forks apart tomorrow, would like em powder coated as found somewhere that does sensible prices (car and bike stuff) glad i held off on buying paint today as am limited for spraying, last time the neighbour wondered why she had grey roses growing in the garden afterwards.

 

Edit....rained off again today.

Jeez a week off work to get stuff done and it's still chuckin, so i put me mackintosh and ski pants and braved the rain, well for a short while, it's not fun, yammered out the bearings from the front wheel as i need to have it dipped to remove the powder coat.

 

Then got one leg pulled apart using me manly strength, this is an old set wot used to be on Bigred and i got back after Big Dave squashed the right side until it leaked, that one's not coming apart because the bottom bolt is loose and now just spinning so cant get the cartridge out, mayhap will need drilling out.

Edit... Daps i'm sure you can guess wot else i'll be after if still available

Some teflon for them bushes? ;0)

[Matlock]

Those bushes look wrecked Cliff. I did the Tenere's forks a few months back and was surprised at what good condition they were in. Those must have had a much harder life.

[dablik]

They had a hard life Chris, when i sold Big Red he took it all over the uk two up and loaded, he weighed around 130 kilo's alone, poor bike eh, and thats the good fork.

Did you replace all oem Chris or just the oil seals.

I replaced all the bushes, deals and dust seals. I got everything from Wemoto, much cheaper than OEM and seemed good quality. I've got a proper fork seal driver when you come to reassembly, you're welcome to borrow it.

Cheers Chris, i'll give you a shout when i do them, thnaks very much :good:

Second one apart, made a wedgie from a piece of garden bamboo to hold the cartridge, but a right bassad to seperate, heating them up for awhile helped, came apart leaving the lower bush and oil seal still in, fork stantchion appears in better knick this side.

Took off all the brake discs and front bearings out.

[Studley Ramrod]

Looks like one bush has ridden over the other, same as what happened to mine, bassad to separate.

 

Now for the difficult bit, what colour to paint stuff. lol

Ya dont say, was just having a look on bike pics and saw a lovely Silver mk1 belongs to some sqounk called studlee   now that iv'e seen some better pics of my colour i'm warming to the Silverish theme, black frame would be to dark i think.....we'll see :dunno:

[Studley Ramrod]

Yeah, looked nice eh.

 

There's a photo in the 850 gallery on JBX's site of a silver blue mk1 with dark frame, looks good.

Looked at them also, some pics in good daylight make it look a whole lot different in Silver, would need to see a Silver PC piece 1st though, that colour can look a bit naff after PCing.

 

Tyres off this morning and a diddle with the Engwin, seeing hows me pullers wont be arriving from Mr Arse on Ebay i've found another suitable 6" with a wider spread to handle the job, hopefully.

Sump and gubbins
