Bike Overhaul

[yorkie_chris]

Attatch vacuum gauges, start motor, adjust till the columns/dials show the same reading.
Most of the time when I do it, it hasn't moved and needs no adjustment and a slight tweak.
Doesn't affect fuel economy untill it gets really bad, but helps it be nice and smooth and pick up nicely.


You do not have to replace the seals when you do the oil. I'm not sure what the 750 forks are like but the 600 ones aren't bad. I will look at manual and get back to you.

Bike is all stripped now, chain and sprockets removed, wheels off and the front end off for the headrace bearings.

them brake discs i got dont say on the box what model they are for however on the invoice it says gsxr 600 srad when i specifically asked for 750 disks, will there be an issue with fitting?

[yorkie_chris]

Ah yes major issues there, I'll give you a tenner for them.

(exactly same discs, wheel etc between the 750SRAD, 600SRAD, TLS, TLR, busa...)

Ah thats good news then, as soon as my wheels return from having the bearings fitted il bolt them on.

Whats wrong with the kagazume discs? coz thats what i have got, they supplied some hh sintex pads with the disks but to be honest they look poor quality

[yorkie_chris]

They warp, crack, spit shims, spit rivets, warp, snap. To be brutally honest I wouldn't fit them to anything quicker than a CG125.

I take it then its good that they come with a warrenty lol, when you say spit shims what do you mean?

[yorkie_chris]

I have seen them spit the little wavy washers out from behind the rivets.

Warranty is probably valid untill you put them on the bike

cor shyte thats not good, hmm, funny you say that im going to ring and find out the conditions of the warranty, coz all it says it that they have 12 months warranty with them.

have you ever heard of armstrong racing disk pads? there the pads that have been supplied with the disks

[yorkie_chris]

Heard of them but I have no experience with them

Il fit them and if there crap then il rip them off and replace them with some ebc one i spose, il then warn everybody here to avoid them. They could however be really good pads, im just not sure.
