MOTOR FLUSH



I first started the bike on original oil, using EFI can, just enough to warm it up and drain it. I left original filter in and re filled with Rotella T5. Rode like that for few tanks to pass 600 mile mark. Big day today, done with first phase break in, I can move past 6k RPM.

Time for Full oil change with T6 and OEM filter.


No debris on magnet trap and brand new looking oil. All good sign.
Examined oil filters, look like mama-suzi wants filter wrench tight. Didn't have proper size socket wrench to tighten it so I just wrestled it in old fashion way. Jaw filter works great on removing old filter but doesn't for tightening. Started the bike and sensed that it likes T6.



Took it for a spin, seems smoother on T6 and shifts better :-) never used that stuff before....
EDITed after few rides: together with clutch seal job much smoother tranny and gear change.

DELIVERY PIPE LEAK

Removed tank to fit fuel filter. Found old line problem:



Replacement hose and clamps below radiator hose



Must remove delivery pipe for hose removal. Impact screewdriver is a must tool for carb jobs. Do not wait till you bugger a screw, hit it at first sign of resistance....





All done, recommend to replace injectors o ring and seat at the same time

FUEL FILTER INSTAL

downstream hose routing:





I am happy with the routing, no hose kinks, no pinch points. Upstream from filter routing is straight forward.
Run at idle for a while w/o leaks. Took bike for a spin. Ran great.
Will test it for some time before declare full victory.

Big weekend, one year bike anniversary and review.

I got the bike year ago and happen I needed new tire and oil change. Bike has 3600 miles. Killed original Michelin about week ago. I had Shinko Raven 09 alredy waiting but bike stands and spools were on order. short story I didn't get rear sland on time and I had to improvise with stuff laying around in the garage. Worked so well I do not need stinking stand anymore.
Removed the wheel and let local shop change the rubber. It was 29 dolars , but after seeing 4 of them fighting the tire for one hour I feel money was well spent.
Cleaned and lubricated chain drive and cleaned and lubed rear caliper. Some with axle spacers and adjuster plates....
