The customer-supplied parts are… way too many… so we’re in full assembly mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We’ll replace the step, but the silencer is temporary for now.

Let’s start with the correction work. (Actually, this was supposed to be near the very end.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made it from Delrin,

with two flat faces so it fits perfectly at 60.5 mm and can be held securely in a vise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was so thin and flimsy that it sprang right back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I machined a collar that fits perfectly inside the inner tube,

and mounted it on some scrap material that looks like it was used before.

It’s a strategy of surfacing while pushing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The XJR step plate ribs aren’t in there either, so we have plenty of room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next I want to check around the step area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also replaced the engine hanger and slider.

Pretty gnarly, huh? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I carefully filed down the scraped fins. Glad they didn’t crack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I got the digital gauge power from a connector.

Yamaha wiring diagrams are so hard to read when you’re not used to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The shape is slightly different, so the brake hose bracket won’t work.

I’ll rip it off with a spot cutter. You really should keep a spot cutter on hand. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm, is it this time? Yeah, it must be… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I went a bit generous on the safe side, and it turned out to be the right call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think position adjustability is really important.

I can’t really recommend just raising or lowering it because it contacts.

I think it’s more fun to be able to adjust it when you’re riding\u2014”this spot! or maybe a bit more!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What happened here?

Fluid maybe? I peeled it off and touched it up with paint pen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I disassembled the meter, it was in pieces. I extracted just the speedometer and transplanted it into the new meter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


I was amazed at how it comes out from the front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No touching the harness area either! It comes out clean. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brembo Corta Corsa. This mode… actually… hmm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a master tank (large) bracket in a way that’s not a hassle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really struggle with handlebar fitment and cable routing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I recently upgraded to version 2.
3M Anti-Slip Tape Type F <\/a>

I cut it to grip length and then cut it in half to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you use the same length as now, it’ll look too cool-guy, so watch out.

Putting this on hold for now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
