You need to work on it more. I want to see it finished!

I got to crank my motor by hand... and see a spark on every revolution on both plugs

I don't know that it's solved yet, but it's definitely more spark than I've seen for, well... years...

Agreed, been busy doing restores for others...

Rebuilding brakes on frt. 0f my 850 and have the tire off to fix a leak. So decided to strip and polish the forks while everything is off. Last time I will do it with the forks on the bike! Used a drill and buffing pads and compound after stripping clear coat with paint stripper. Took for ever, would have been easier to do it on my grinder. Live and learn sometimes trying to lessen work can only increase it. They do look so much better. Still have to do the the #1 polish compound and then put on some wax. terrylee

Finally, got around to swapping the main jets on my 79 gs550l. when i bought the bike a year ago, a buddy went and rebuilt the carbs for me as for a favor since it was my first bike and i rescued it from the back corner of a mutual friends garage. What i didn't know is that getting rid of the stock airbox, adding pod filters and drilling out the baffels in the exhaust was a BAD idea. stock jets were 80's, he put in 90's and it would fall on its face at 5500 rpm. this morning i put in 110's and it was like riding a whole different bike! shortly after he got done with it he finished mechanical engineering school at OSU and took a job and moved, leavin me to sort out the problems. I have been reading up for weeks on the forums about these issues, so thanks to all who have posted about this subject. all i have to say is what a rush having access to the high rpm power band was! too bad its going to rain here tomorrow...........next up, find someone to sync them properly for me>>>

Replacing clutch springs.

And fork seals.

 

[machinest]

OK front rotor off again and back to work Didn't get it quite flat enough the first time ,going to give it to the guy who dose large scale lathe work in the shop, too tricky for me (don't do that sort of thing often enough to do it well ).

 

[DanTheMan]

Put my new rear tire on today, cleaned things up, and did drivetrain inspections. Ready to roll tonight.

 

[gsryder]

Did all the little niggly plumbing over the weekend installed rear rotor, chain, rebuilt carbs, electrical pan, and some other small stuff getting close to start up
