To add, do the cranking with starter and plugs removed.

? why is that?

Ill crank them by hand for a few turns without the plugs but why with the starter removed..that thing is going to be a real pain in the ass to remove etc.

hes just saying after everything is good spin it with starter to pump up lash adjusters on head ...with apark plugs out it will spin easy and not hard on starter ... have kill switch off too

Question,

I set the bike to TDC when i took her apart, the lil window still reads properly and nothing shifted.

When i put everything back together, the Cams keyways should be facing 12'oclock when i put everything back together... in my head this makes sense but i just dont want to screw it up.

Waiting for a buddy to come over and check, never did the hyrdaulic valve system before so i am being so over cautious... :sensored:

If thats the case, i putting her back together tonight and firing her up.

 

[dan filipi]

Yes keyway at 12 o'clock.
The word UP on both pullies will be up.

Be sure to use the correct gear marks.
It's the raised dimple we use, not the recessed slit in the gears.

thanks!

i actually marked everything with a paint marker, so if i line up my markings then i should be all set, but i just needed to make sure. but i will make sure i have the proper dimples aligned as well.

gonna get some oil and rad fluid on the way home and hopefully get her fired up!

take plugs out ... and never try to test with starter ...or just crank on it to run ... always turn by hand ...from crank bolt on front many times to be absolutely sure you are not hitting anything .. plugs are out so you can feel everything ...you don't want to mess this up

 

[toytender01]

Right on jod !!!

:music: perfect.

Just needed to make sure that my overthinking was correct. You ever look at something too long then all of sudden your scratching head ... what the :sensored: :sensored: :sensored: is this now...

thats kind of what i have been doing. So much cleaning, prepping, parts being replaced etc..its like "okay really?".

Needed a little assurance i wasnt going to kill it.

Good idea on the plugs being out, with my new found compression i want to make sure its slow and smooth on the rotations and i feel things.

hopefully i will have some more pictures and video of her running in the next day or 2.

then its time to sync the carbs, hooray

I know exactly what you mean!
I catch myself doing that and go "wait, why not just do that knucklehead!"

Need to get upper radiator hose...it's leaking ...

Anyone have a site to new hoses?

Post it up please.

Or which hose to use off amazon...that would be ideal.

I use the Gates 21008 radiator hose and make the upper and lower hose for the 1200 out of one automotive hose. You can get one at your local automotive parts store.
