Why is it that XJR prices don’t seem to go up? I wonder why. It’s so cool…
Maybe it’s because it’s a Yamaha? (；∀；)
Right now the work flow is in a bad pattern.
If I don’t start with the vehicles that finish quickly, the rest will back up.
I absolutely have to break this bad routine this year.
So I’ll get to work.
Both the front and back have cracks all the way through.
My guess is… the air cleaner box was acting as a stopper to some degree? If you kick it, there’s no way it would hold…
There’s interference, so I’ll prepare the bevel joint without overdoing it.
I roughed up the surface and degreased it thoroughly—all set.
It hardened like this, so I reinforced it right away.
If you want it smooth, sand it yourself.
Megamix recommended for resin repair and restoration
Gray hardens too fast, so black is recommended (*^-^*)
The terminal didn’t crimp properly, so I fixed it.
If you have these two, I think you can cover most situations.
IWISS
Ratchet-type Faston terminal simultaneous crimping pliers 1.5–6.0 mm² compatible HS-03B
The yellow one seems to have dropped in price.
Weidmüller wire stripper
STRIPAX 9005000000
The cutting edge and usability are truly excellent! ♪
With the right tools, you don’t need technique.
I’m a worrier and I also factor in solid contact, so I apply a light solder flow (*^-^*)
I’ll replace the spark plugs. #1 and #4 look sooty.
Watanabe ignition is installed, so I’ll widen the gap.
Being gentle and not putting too much stress on it is important.
I’ll change the engine oil.
I went with Shell Advance Ultra 4T 15W-50.
It seems you get something if you review it from here…
I checked the XJR’s leak-prone release piston and applied metal rubber for lubrication.
It was pretty dirty since it’s been used a few times on the track, yo.
I’ll change the fluid.
The master that sprays fluid everywhere has poor serviceability. I cut and installed a Honda OEM master float (^_-)☆
I also changed the front brake fluid.
*The rear was done the other day, so I’ll skip it.
The chain condition looks good.
Tomorrow I’ll take it for inspection and that’ll be all done~
