3EN2 Stripdown.
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 2:18 pm
Right then, you like photos,so here goes.
First problem:
Lack of space !!!!!



And for all who's other half says NO,just tell them that they make good clothes horses.

Stripped of fairings,all in all,it looks like its been looked after by at least one owner.




Now how on earth can you crack this;but more to the point who has a spare?
Breakers want to sell the tank cover with it and postage costs rule this option out!

Sidetracking momentarily;this is the old 1000R can in preparation for refurb to go onto 3EN2.
Will get Simmi performance to make a stainless link pipe,he's sh*t hot quality and price wise.
Good club racer too!

False intake pipes for which I need covers!
Boris has one (which side ?) Who's got the other?

Rear undertray split and melted by carrying Fatty Arbuckle as a pillion.Ive either got to repair this with Ecu in situ as the captive plate is corroded solid and plastic does not appreciate oxy heat ,or source a tidy one.

Another expense-twisted out of true birdcage.£65 NOS if its the correct one!!


Now this little bugger:
First-How do you get you hand into where it is to switch to reserve?Now I know the Japs are small but are they contortionists aswell.
Secondly extremely stiff to operate so have stripped and cleaned it but on rebuild its still too stiff with screws tightened home-perhaps they should be adjusted till tap is free but doesnt leak.Will bench test on tank at a later date.

And how many of these has this bike had? This might get the JB Weld treatment,respray and be kept as a spare!

This is one place I dont mind seeing grease.Was expecting an Exup overhaul but its very good all round.

This one is past redemption but "Caviga" has one,just hopes it fits!!

More crash damage-This might !!!!! clean up.

Very pleased with a German battery till I saw Made in Taiwan-Thats propper sh*te.


Good headers anyhow.

Fork seals weeping ,might let this develop till time permits or they burst.

Worst corrosion on it-Why did none of the Jap Four make subframes out of alloy after all that extruded frame development ? Thats going to the plastic coaters along with this;


Back of Kph clocks (tried to show wiring for M-Max box fitment)

Dont fancy trying to read this,miss the verge by 2 inches, avoid that muckspreader and brake for the tourists without going through the dyke round Derwent reservoir.Mph one in the pipeline.

Stock restricted ignitor cdi.See how its fixed through undertray;bugger.

Now this is tatty-might go down the blue spots and R6 master cylinder road,wants braided hoses anyway.

Pity cos I like these dinky little things and there still in canny nick.

Right thats it for now.More nonsense in a minute as they said on Its not the nine o'clock news.
Is there a way to post photos direct to text for the next time????
