Yea it look like its a nice kit. I don't think it will be hard at all to pull that motor. Just got to make sure to get all cables and wires out of the way. Well I'm going to hit the sack 7am comes to soon. I'll stop by tomorrow after school.

Well, i have to leave for work at 3, so if ya think we can get it out pretty quick we can give it a shot. Even if we cant get the bike down there, we could prolly get the motor out. I can get her downstairs by meself with the motor out i think. I'll get crackin on it in the AM, and get the header off, and the bolts out, dunno bout gettin the chain off, not sure as the best way to go about it..Take the swinger off or take it off at the motor?? Looks to be a bit of a PITA to get the clutch linkage apart and what not? You done that on yours atall??

Dude getting the clutch off isn't hard. Its putting it back on. I struggled for like an hour to get it back on. I finally think I got it though. I had to remove the clock plastic gear (when you see it you'll know what I'm talking about) and I had to put it on backward for it to work. I guess my brother was screwing with it.... Either way it fits on there now. BUT I don't know if its working right or not. Plus the clutch lever is harder than all fvck to pull. Like I have a strong grip and all but man this is just ridiculous. I guess I need to play with it some more
 
Sounds good Cole! I'll see ya then...oh and if ya have a spare impact driver philips bit, mind bringin it along? I think my number two is snapped but i may have another...

yeah Riot, i HAVE been lucky so far with the header bolts..the ones on my bike were amazingly easy to remove, once you got yourself in a possition to get around the frame..lol So i cant b1tch too much i suppose. Ugh man, they're callin for 6-8 inches by sunday night up here. With 1/10 to 2/10 of an inch of ice under that, as its supposed to freezing rain for most of the day tomorrow. Looks like its gonna be a wet one gettin that motor out, but i dont want her to get burried.
 
Yea I got an extra phillips bit. I actuallly just bought an inpact driver. man this weather sucks I need to move my bike on to the back porch before it gets to bad.
 
I just bought a new cover for mine, as my original actually either blew away (which i doubt) or some punk kid stole it for chits and giggles (prolly more likely) We get this thing downstairs, and you're welcome to borrow it for the winter!
 
Fvck mother nature man.... But I do love Texas weather... We'll except the Texas summers. Those are just brutal
 
Ohio, well more accurately, Miami (ohio) valley summers are pretty brutal too...90ish degrees in good length, and relative humidity in the 90percentile at times. I dont mind the heat at all...its the humidity that sapps you dry..

Amen to that. We usually enjoy 100+ degrees in the summer. BUT GOD THE HUMIDITY!!!!! Its usually at like 110% lol. We have a running joke that its so humid there's more water in the air then air in the air. Every summer we get a few days of dry heat. Those are just magical.
 
Yanno i b1tch about how damn hot it gets here in the summer, and this past was one of the worst, but right now, i'd give a lot of money to have it back! LOL
 
GOD DAMN SUMAB!TCH.... Dude ANOTHER set back. I'm gonna set this bike on fire..... Well my O-rings came in so I got the carbs back together finally. I was determined to get my bike fired up today finally after months of downtime. AND I was screwed by something else. Damn intake boots are fvcked. They're so cracked and brittle that they can't support the weight of the carbs. They start bending leaving huge gaping holes that'll more than likely let in tons of unmetered air. SO now I gotta wait till I can get some new ones. I'm p!ssed
 
I saw, i just posted a place for you to check out. www.babbittsonline.com

I too got screwed this week by Ma Nature. Was going to pull that motor yesterday before the storm got here, and i guess it picked up speed, cos i woke up yesterday to a few inches on the ground, then it rained, now its about 10 outside and everything is frozen solid. Bullchit! Supposed to warm up in a couple days, so i wait more...lol

A tip ......... intake rubbers get cracked when people remove the airbox to fit pod filters & dont support the carbs, if you have removed the box you have removed the support fron the back of the carbs & need to replace it with something ...... a small bracket from the carb top up to the frame will do the trick & save your rubbers some stress :-D

Thanks TCK, I'll check them out

Thanks fot the tip Tone, I'll remember that if I ever fit pods on. Which I'm seriously thinking about because getting the box on and off is pain in the ass.... But yeah the intake boots aren't cracked because of not being supported. Time did the job well enough on its own
 
Dunno, i will get out to the shed and check it out. Bound to NOT be soft at the moment as its about 16ish degrees here. lol but i will let you know.
 
Don't go out then man, that's too f*ing cold to be screwing around with that. Plus I don't want to be responsible for you getting pnuemonia :-)
 
Bah! ColdSHmold...its gonna be a lil warmer tomorrow. and sunny!! And my motor came in today!! Gonna pick it up at the wherehouse(that word looks spelled wrong) tomorrow and pull this other one out and down the basement with all of it!! NO EXCUSES!! Im going thru withdrawls.
