Quote:Rode my TDM to work. Stopped at the red light. Heard the alarm sirens go off. Dropped my side  stand, got off the bike (left it standing at the intersection -all other drivers left their cars too), sat low close to a concrete wall and waited.

 

Ten seconds later heard two muffled explosions from a distance, assuming they were anti-rockets missiles intercepting the incoming rockets from Gaza, got up, climbed back on my TDM, waited for the next green light and continued my uneventfull ride to work..

 

Just another morning in our crazy spot in the Middle East.

Took the engine out of the mk1 and began the underside stripdown, to replace the gearbox output shaft as Mr Dufus Bodger welded on the front sprocket....not that I'm bitter or annoyed at all .... !!

Tried a set of mk2 gears in my mk1.....seems to be a good fit , and nice to see splines on the output shaft Smile

 

Along the way I came to removing the clutch hub nut, after knocking back the locking tab the nut span off freely with finger pressure only !  

 

I need to get a full gasket set in now because I didn't expect to have to remove the cylinder head and barrels.

 

I'll check the valve clearances and probably regrind the valves in position but I haven't found any nasty gremlins.....there's a tiny amount of play on the big ends, but i think when the oil is pumping that's not a problem, but maybe I should invest in some big end shells anyway....hmmmm..... Camchain was new not too long ago and the tensioner is the later type and fully functional so that's a good bit of news !

Get new shells for peace of mind - I'd have to if it was mine - would constantly nag me and I'd always have an ear listening to it.

Morning everyone,yesterday took the front wheel to the tyre/tire shop for the new skin. Lowe and behold they had the PR3 of proper size on the shelf.😆 Yeah. Had it mounted and ready to go in less than a half hour.

Sweet,👍 ,what a beautiful hunk of rubber. $184 out the door. Needed no weights, balanced spot on. Double sweet.


For state side members near vegas, check out MTC(motorcycle tire center). Melvin and his crew do a bang-up job. Thanks Melvin. 👍👍 Vacation/holiday is over, back to work. 👎😝 Have a great day everyone. Pd Gabe. 😎

I knew I couldn't leave them, I was only lying to myself !

 

Question is, which size do i get....they're listed in four colour ranges....,blue, black,green and brown ?

 

The only marking on the big ends are numbers and letters.....is the ink colour the clue ?

 

[attachment=o8401]

 

 

EDIT - I think I've got it... http://www.manualslib.com/manual/927505/...ml?page=89

 

 

The instruction is to subtract the value stamped on the crank web ( =1 for both cylinders) from the single number stamped on the conrod.........the large digit 5 is the significant value....which produces '4'....which relates to a 'green' bearing shell

 

Isn't the Times crossword easier than this? Wink

There was no noise, but on closer inspection, and considering the fact that the oil strainer had been blocked up too, who knows how much longer it could go on  !

Perfectly normal paranoia pays off again - don't forget to clean out the crank oilways/feeds  Smile - i did a Guzzi that wasn't showing ANY signs of fatigue and the crank was packed to almost blocked.

I've just ordered a new fine toothed comb.

 

While I'm waiting for the shells and gaskets to arrive I'll probably then turn my attention to the bike's frame, which is brush painted, badly. I want to be riding the bike again soon , so a full resto is off the cards this year, but i might look at some quirky vinyl wrap on the frame for now. At least I'll know the engine is sound !
