Got it back in *then* remembered to do a leakdown. one intake valve is leaking. gently caress me I can't get a break with this oval office.

Guy I bought the carb/exhaust from is gonna cut the seats, fix whatevers fuckt, and set valve lash (which is great since USPS disappeared my shim kit).

one fork was filled almost to the top with 15wt oil. the other got whatever was left in his 1l bottle, which wasn't very much.
Dumped the poo poo out. cleaned it all up, and put 5wt in at the proper loving height. It actually rides somewhat decent.

Yeah I'd at least throw 1pc valves in it... I went with wisecos, fairly reasonable in price. Amazon had the cams pretty cheap too.

I stuck to a stock bore, a 470 would have barreled more money into an already seemingly bottomless pit.

E: I bought mine with a big hole where the crank used to be...so it was easy to start fresh. :D

Lower one is the one that came out.
Frame screen. I noticed at the last oil change it was really hard to remove, and threads looked hosed, so I bought a used one from ebay.



1200mi oil change woo


yeah the PO left me this kick rear end stripped case plugs. I bought the blingy red one on ebay for a dollar. the TDC plug was also stripped, and would leak when I wound the engine over 8 thousand.




I think just the countershaft seal leaks at this point. :v:

Why is there a pipe with a high pressure banjo fitting at one end and what appears to be a simple hose and clamp setup on the other end? Is that just suzuki being suzuki?

yes. that hose slips over the frame screen and connects to the oil feed for the pump. There is no pressure through that hose.

Little yellow rear end in a top hat machine is now 300% more fun to ride.

The front caliper bracket I have is for a 280mm rotor, not a 320, so I stuffed a dirt rotor on for now. its eeeeehhhhhhhh.

rear triangle for the suspension is slightly different too. My forks are chewed to poo poo from sliding on the tarmac by the po...not that this matters anyway.

SM rear rotors are larger too, to fit a larger rear rotor to the S model you use RM125/250 caliper brackets.

Let it take a nap after a 700 mile trip to death valley.

E start quit on day two for fuckwatever reason. day 3 it started working after I forgot to turn the kill switch off and kicked it for 5 minutes solid.
Noticed the torque limiting gear cover was leaking a little so I pushed it over to replace the O ring and generally look the starter bullshit over.

650 to 790 sounds like a pretty decent power boost. Good thing it didn't pop when you were out on the trails or something. I see you put the dirt wheels back on for that excursion.

We're super fortunate it didnt explode the day before, we were thinking of running some single track stuff back towards the hotel, but at last minute decided not to. That morning when we filled our bikes Id noted that it was sounding a bit off. rode south to artist drive and it was closed so the group backtracked north, right as he passed the resort it died.


yeah I burned the dogshit out of the t63 on that trip though. playing catchup with R1200GSAs on the highway isn't fun or easy. and on the fire trails I tore some chunks out of the side lugs.

fwiw I went from 400 to 424 in mine. ever lil' bit counts. :3:
