Just cut well inside your lines, then grind/file/sand until straight and where you want it.*



*This statement does not imply I am able to actually do this, just that I heard the theory behind it once. ;D

haha yeah to each their own, ya know. although i think i might just play with the saw at work to see how it goes...i havnt used it in a while. but yeah jack, that was my plan...cut less than i need and then take a file or something.

you could probably use a spindle sander to smooth out the edges, or even the little one that comes with a dremel kit

Gave it a hug when I walked past it in the garage. Can it just be warm now?

The other day I stripped all the plastics off and looked at what I needed to repair.

cute chix asking for a ride will do that i guess

Yeah i was planning on using the one with the kit. I didnt have anytime to get to it at work..been mainly focusing on getting my new(to me) cyl head taken apart to clean it, which i will have pics of later. Going to clean the carbon off the valves today.

Wrap the valve stem with electrical tape and chuck it into your drill. Set it to high speed and just hold a wire brush to the valve. It will take seconds for each valve. Use a brass brush if you have one

 

[mattman912]

oo i like that idea

Chainectomy.

The angle grinder won.

Moved her out of the garage and cleaned her. I rode it yesterday and was embarrassed due to how dirty she was. I also posted some items for sale on here. Pazzo Levers, Arai Helmet XL, Dainese Air-2 Jacket... Take a look!!

Today, I finished up my install of a Hotbodies undertail, rear hugger and integrated tail light. Unfortunately it's a little cold to go for a ride.

 

[08SV650SF]

Got a new rear tire installed, continental motion. I heard they were decent. So far so good.

 

[mattman912]

got the head taken apart yesterday, cleaned it today. i got so aggravated looking for someone with the right valve spring compressor or someone to do it that i finally just jigged up on the hydraulic press at work, cut up a socket and took it apart my own way. heres some pics.

the head sitting on the press

the springs and a valve after removal

at home today, ready to do some cleaning

heres some before and after. mind you, i had cleaned most of the combustion chamber before this pic with the valves in. this is before i cleaned the seats and valves

and after. tha valves didnt come out as clean as i wanted but this is the best i could get them. i think theyll be fine.

i also desnorkled and installed a K&N filter. monday im going to lap the valves.

SnootyBannedMike came up this morning & helped me reassemble the SV.

New chain is on, as are the new sprockets, new tires, new 90 degree valve stems, new brake pads (thanks Blair), new grips, and the clutch is adjusted.

I'm ready for the Gap.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Travis.

I will be buying a couple of tires during the season start sales as I will probably need them by June.

Was going to go with Pirelli Angels again but think I will stick with the Conti Motions.

I do have brake pads and SS front lines to put on also but that's a whenever deal.

 

[Danimal]

I picked this up today for the SV

Yehaw

Didn't you already have one of those?
