So to put this thread into 'perspective': Ended up cutting down the spacers by 35mm to account for the longer Racetech springs. My neighbour helped me compress those bastards (thanks Boom) and after that I was so excited, I didnt crash till 2am working on this thing! Now its time to see if...

Looking for a front stand, ideally a stem type.

So...update. Ive been doing smaller, supporting-type work on the project of which Ill be posting pics as the components get installed. I finally got the chance to install the motor yesterday with the help of a buddy. Its been a long time in the making but I hope from here things will start to...

Thanks. Ended up ordering Spectro Golden. It most closely matched the Silkolene's specs on Verdone's page (viscosity table): http://www.peterverdone.com/archive/lowspeed.htm He talks a lot about how manufacturers rate viscosities via available standards. And yea, I really looked for this...

Im swapping the springs on my 1000RR forks for track and have been recommended Silkolene 5wt RSF fork oil for optimum performance with stock valves. Anyone know a shop in Toronto that carries?

Dont try and measure up to those with inheritance, luck or even dilligence. Drop the mortgage and live like youre here only once. Moneys no good to you dead. If you dont like the income your job provides an improvement wont be immediate but that can be changed. Good sig, too.

I got a low mile crank & rods for about $200 and even though the rod bearings looked good I didnt want to take any chances. Even ordering all new units from ronayers and picking them up in the US yielded $7 x18 so $150 shipped. Add to that $100 for new rod bolts and new stretch bolts for the...

Any idea who might exchange shims for me? I wont make it to Pro6 today and I was told theyre partying like its 1923 this weekend.

Thanks very much! I appreciate any feedback because it keeps me up at night - Ive never been so deep inside a motor before so Im questioning myself a lot. I found where the washer goes - its a spacer between one of the drive gears and shaft bearing. It mustve fallen off the end of the...

Update. The pistons and rings were all up to spec after checking them against the service manual so I decided to clean and reuse them. I used oven cleaner to get the carbon off the rings and pistons for no more than 5 mins each followed by thorough rinsing then soaking in my trusty WD40...

Im unsure why this motor spun the #3 rod bearing but I knew the previous owner and the bike wasnt abused nor neglected. Regular oil changes shouldve prevented such a catastrophe but from what Ive encountered on other forums the problem is not uncommon, especially when almost all the spun...

Ive been on the board for a while and learned a lot here. I thought Id give back to the community with what Ive absorbed. To make a long story short Ive been building and fixing bikes for me and my buddies and in the process Ive accumulated a 'few' parts. The advantage of working almost...

get whatever you wont be scared to crash. usually a heavy bias of function over form works best.

You guys get any rust brushed off out there?

sold

any interest? exxellent condition all around. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-sport-bikes-600RR-track-bike-W0QQAdIdZ331299919

store the wheels inside? ive got a pair of stands i can lend out...

Its also what draws everybody to Mosport, wheelcount notwithstanding. There isnt a place within a day's drive that has the mystery and the adventurous appeal of a lap at that place. All things positive it probably wouldnt hurt to a add a bit of a safety margin for such a place. Spectating at...

Heres on the lookout for a trailer buddy (Im the one waving you down). West end of Toronto, about 10 mins south of the 401 and 10 mins east of 427. I can give you tips on your form, critique your suspension setup and help you push to bumpstart your bike after you leave the ignition on during...
