1987 TTF1 homologation model. The color hasn’t faded even now, has it?
First up—rear disk and pad wear.
A T=7MM disk, which is rare these days. New ones aren’t available anymore… There are some used ones that might work with the right PCD and center bore, but… the disk gets thinner too…
• Search for used ones
• Polish and reuse (though it exceeds the wear limit)
The intake manifold has been revived. Rubber parts really can’t be helped after all.
If you plan to ride it long-term, it might be worth stocking up on those special rubber parts.
A quick inspection. Looks good.
And after replacing it, this bike is on standby.
Well, the V4 carburettor is full of pipes… It’s a bit of work, but it’s much simpler than the VF1000R.
Back then, a customer brought in a completely disassembled VF1000R carburettor and I had to assemble it—honestly, that was rough.
First, split it front and back, then left and right.
I’m lazy about everything. Since it’s not visible, I skip polishing and clean it by hand instead.
It wasn’t that dirty to begin with, so it goes quickly.
Due to linkage design, there are two types of starter valves. Interesting!
If starter valves are available, we replace them.
Pipe-related parts are replaced too. Only these four came out though…
Ugh, the SJ head snapped off because it’s old…
We’ll pull it out with an extractor. You don’t see these tools much anymore.
The vacuum piston you brought. The diameter and height are the same, but the vacuum hole size differs. For now we’ll install it and see how it runs.
Bomb kit back to standard. Not that the bomb kit is bad.
The cover is in pretty rough shape too.
This much should be fine, so we’ll reuse it.
And the oil level is pretty much done.
