mossrider Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Since I didn't care to watch a man justify his 32.25 million dollar contract to coach a college team (gophers vs Penn St) I went into the shop instead. Down to the last nut and bolt again for cleaning, inspection and a motor swap. I just may try to sneak an aluminum subframe past the warden. Suspension going to Trackside Labs. Head is off at TWF. Notice the length of table. It has an OSHA approved visegrip on the one end. To lazy to add extension, what could possibly go wrong? That's about it for off season upgrade madness this year, sigh.

mossrider Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 So I was messing around in the shop (surprise) and I took a quick vid. This gives a good idea how much the chain slack is affected by the vertical movement of the swingarm. For those that think that tighter is better watch closely. It is very easy to get it too tight. Tight can have a negative effect on shifting and rideability at least. And a disastrous effect on hard parts and safety at worst. Note: this is on an FZ07 race bike with raised suspension so it's somewhat exaggerated but the principle is the same. Be careful and follow the manual specifications closely.

mossrider Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 A little bit of nonsense from the shop.Ā I made a headstock lift from an old rear stand and some scrap. This allows me to hold the front of the bike up without interfering with forks or the tripples. You can see the top part of it in the first picĀ bellow.Ā Tore the front end apart to get the old steering bearings out to be replaced with tapered roller style bearings. The bearings weren't horrible but it was time for an upgrade.Ā Ā While in there mucking around I drilled and tapped the steering stops so I could replace my high tech stuck on wheel weights with proper threaded stops. This sucka gonna be a new bike again come spring. Ā 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety too. Keeps the controls from interfering with the fairings or the fuel tank during headshake or manuevering around the pits.Ā i.e. your brake lever from getting slammed on or clutch from being disengaged when they contact the inner edge of the fairings or hands trapped between bars and tank during crash type stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossrider Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Here's a pic of my new headstand, Kinda neat, it clears the front wheel and the forks, triples,Ā brakes and even slips in behind the front stand to make it so easy to lift/swap/work on stuff.

mossrider Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I made a little tail jig toĀ hold the rear of the bike in such a fashion I would be able to remove everything for repairs or maintenance.Ā Ordinarily the rearsets, suspension and related paraphernalia would be in the way and my jack stands would be supporting the bike via the pegs, precluding the removal of the suspension componants.Ā Ā After staring at the bike's bare ass for a couple drinks... ...it dawns on me that even tho Yamaha spent millions on engineers and computers and high-tech cad mumbo jumboĀ this bike was engineered by my counterparts at Left Twix and Right Twix and that cross member was a total accident. Oh well, at least Yamaha spared no expense on theĀ fix; cutting the kickstand 1" shorter lol! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
