Pinned So what have you done to your bike today?

Quick Color change. Still needs a buff and reassembly

Fairngs and period master on and bleed properly new chain and boots to go

 

Pity you couldn't keep the Fairings that were on it.

Full on badassery there.

 

Rechecked everything Ive done over the past few days, full service minus carb and cam chain tensioner, then today put new Battery in, (long overdue). wheeled out to the grass for a degrease, and wheeled back in, put fairings on, wheeled back out, gave her a wash, and cam out like this: (Yes I know the grass needs mowing. That gets done this weekend.



Nothing feels like how you feeling like wiping the chamois over the machine you built from the ground up!

 

Every ******* thing.
and that's just the start.









Go historic racing they said,
It will be fun they said.

Whoever buys these bikes as their first roadbike must seriously miss out on the important things... like riding haha.

But its holding water,
New hoses from ebay Japan,
tested thermostat,
lapped surfaces,
flushed radiator and cooling system, vinegar is awesome.
new red bypass hose.
new rubber baffle plate from 3mm insertion rubber,
carbs back off while we find new bodies then do more tuning,
made 260mm muffler with big bore , a combination of an old Laser and a Xcite front cap.
made CV breather filter,
tidied wiring, cut stuff off, heatshinked,
found R3 battery fits.
Gerni , oven cleaner, every toxic chemicasl I could find and got engine and valley spotless.
Pressure lubed every cable,
too much stuff....


Lockwiring the sump and filter,
found Auto1 has RYCO RMC100 filters with orings for $9.95 (VTR250)

Next step get rid of the speedo, drive, cable, and all the munted **** where its thrown a chain and obliterated stuff.

Have I told anyone how ghey MC22's are?

 

Had to do a double take there, to make sure you hadn't stolen my bike!

 

Still have them if I want to put on but when funds allow I'm going historic racing to try some new tracks out

 

Serviced and registered my SR250 (she's been resting) and rode to work, took a bit of a sting outta the first day back after holidays!

Good to be back on 2 wheels - been playing with cages too much lately!

 

That is the only thing keeping me going.
I'll admit it sounds pretty special the way sammc22 tuned it and my zorst.

From what Ive read on forums I expect to get better bitchez, smash my Pb's by 10 seconds and wheelies in neutral.

 

10 secs pfft more like 15 hahaha

 

To top it off the campaingning by WA 2bloke riders on VJ22's have changed the rules,
from 5 years of ranting 'Its a safety issue' (Cough cough, they already have the fastest bike by a mile, and 18's went fine back in the day)
they can run 17's on VJ21's and aftermarket shocks, so they think they can run the banana swingarm, USD's and the whole vj22.

Bit of a game changer for us 4 strokes who built bikes within the rules.
They are about as popular as a fart in church here and in the east in 250 Historic circles.

 

Crank up your speakers.

 

Should move Bris mate are club opened up 250/300 proddie to r3

 

Re-rego'd the Fizzer today - that's 12 months since it was first rego'd - how time flies... passed the pink slip fine after @Linkin put the old master cylinder back on with the correct brake light switch..... @GreyImport - can do the pink slip at South Tamworth if that helps....

 

Drained the milkshake out of the R6 and flushed the radiator.

Think the problem may be the water pump or possibly oil cooler.

 

Busy day picked up some brand new supercorsa sc1 and sc2 saw @Glenn22 there had good chat about island classic
Dropped of seat to get recovered then to @kiffsta for some stickers and mud gaurd
Starting to look like a race bike again rear vinyl went on nice we won't talk about front lol fast this year not pretty haha
