Yesterday, I got this LC dropped off for sorting out. Has issues with wiring. Needs a a new fusebox ;-)
Engine needs checking over. Need to check crank seal as it may be in the wrong way. Also need to leak down test the engine.

Had right hand engine cover off. Crank seal is the correct way round! Kick start mechanism was not fitted correctly so gear was dragging.
Got carbs off. Did leak down test and it has a leak. :-( Will get the spray bottle on it soon and see where it is coming from.

I am planning to replace my Fuse Box with the swanky 3D printed one at some point, so will have a spare when that happens. Might not be soon enough for you, but if you're stuck!

Since I make those swanky fuse boxes, then one will need to be put on this bike very soon :-)
An ideal opportunity to photo the steps involved in fitting the new fuse boxes.

I went for a ride on my 765 yesterday then when I came back I did another 5 hours on the visitor LC. I removed the faulty engine. Rerouted the wiring loom, drilled the extra hole in the back of the headlight shell. Moved the horns to the correct place, then fitted a temporary engine to let me push the bike around without splitting the chain. Also found issues with the airbox. A hole in the lower part and one of the carb rubber holes was enlarged so he needs a replacement now.    |

I also had to move the clocks as they were on top of the top yoke, and had to move the headlight brackets and the headlight adjuster to get it all to fit.
I need to recheck the throttle cable next, but that needs modifying anyway as this is a premix bike, so the oil pump section needs to be amputated.

Extra headlight bowl hole? He has a pattern headlight, which only has the lower hole as standard. I use a hole saw to drill the upper hole so the cables can enter as per the OEM headlight. |
