So, I bought another NSR on ebay recently..
This one is an MC21, some may have seen it but for those that didn't here's the run down, guy I bought it off said it used to be raced at Lakeside international raceway and was then sold to a guy in Gladestone who did some trackdays on it, the guy I bought it off had owned it for four years and is in his 50's and very ill so hence why he wanted to sell.. I paid $1500 for the complete bike and a box of new and good used parts worth around $2000 alone..
So far I have done..
* Replaced bottom head (it had corroded between water journals and dome)
* Due to the leak I had to pull the exhaust off and drain the coolant and sludge from it..
* Flushed and replaced coolant..
* Drain / clean and replace premix oil.. Also new oil lines fitted..
* Drain and replace gear oil..
* Removed carbs/manifolds and reeds, cleaned them up and replaced, also did away with the airbox..
* New fuel lines..
* 1 wire splice mod done..
* Replace rear master cylinder and fill with new fluid..
Yet to do..
* Replace fork seals.. (have the fork seals in the spares)
* Rebuild front brake calipers.. (have the rebuild kit in the spares)
* Get new battery..
* Get new tyres..
* Get Tyga pipes.. (months away, run it as is for now)
* Get carbon reeds..
* Remove oil injection..
Furthermore one of the previous owners fitted a 190 rear tyre, the side walls are vertical, so I will be replacing with race slicks and wish to know is a 160 rear the correct size to run??
Also with the other wire splice mod, is the light green wire's that need to be spliced the ones running from the gearbox?? If yes, do I splice before or after the connector/plug??
