The spare engine came in handy for swapping a few Shims and fastening bolts
Getting there
I got it together with the original 4n1 exhaust so I could get it on the road
First ride it was running really well around town but once I got out on motorway it was flat out at 100km/h so I upped the Main jet size from 80 to 95 (in 3 goes) It now goes uphill at 110km/h and faster on the flat and still runs well at lower speeds.
It sat around for a few weeks and the fuel tap developed a slow leak through the o-ring so the paint started to peel off underside of the tank. It also dripped off onto the front edge of the LH side cover so that smeared up a little as well.
The side cover issue became non-existent when I was riding the bike over the Auckland Harbour Bridge and when I was right at the top in the lane next to railing the side cover fell off and bounced off the road into the harbour. I have quite a record of losing side covers.
So I bought another side cover, got another set of decals and started again which touching up the tank as well, and replacing the fuel tap o-ring so it didnt happen again.
I had also finished with the 4n2 exhaust by this stage so I painted over the damaged chrome with a Cast Iron colour.
