I'm stripping tomorrow.

[phil24_7]

My bike that is! (It's also technically today as I haven't gone bet yet but that's just splitting hairs!)

Stripping her right down so's I can fit GSX-R front end, rear shock, under tray, new lower, PC, the Autocom intercom I bought at the NEC and some other bits and bobs!

Just hoping I don't forget how to put it back together!

While it's naked I'm gonna measure up to find out how much fettling a GSX-R rear sub-frame will need to fit!!:D

I hope it doesn't go horribly wrong.

BikerBilly, if your free tomorrow daytime your more than welcome to join me.

I'd already thought of this so took my camera!

Dunno yet, will look at finances, I've got a K5 600 shock but I know the Thou's shock is more suited to the sv!

An update for you all.

It was suprisingly easy to strip it all down, I didn't need the Haynes manual until I had to remove the locking nut from the stearing head stem! Made things harder for myself by dropping the forks through the yokes a bit (On my brothers suggestion, not sure he knew that I was changing the yokes as well. He's a mechanic by trade and does most of the work on his own bike, so shouldn't have made a school boy error like that!)

Anyway, I stripped the front fairing etc of to make sure I had as much room to work as possible, dropped the forks out and put the GSX-R forks in place. I haven't fully tightened the head stem nut up yet, I'll do that when I'm up there next.

I used the SV's top bearing and the GSX-R's bottom bearing (managed to get dirt on the sv's bottom bearing and couldn't be arsed to clean it of. Will this be ok?) I gave these a liberal coating with red grease (Is this ok or do I need to use a different grease?) and left it like that until I finish it off another day.

While I had the bike stripped I fixed my alarm, removed the snow plough (what a mare that was!) and indicators and removed the snorkel.

All-in-all a very productive day and should be able to get it all sorted on my next day off.

I have a couple of questions for you org'ers though.

1. How do I go about sorting the speedo sensor?
2. What settings should I set the forks too to start with ?

Will post some photo's up in the photo section a little later.

Regards
