If the calipers are attached, push the pistons in like you're changing to new pads. I think I got it...just needed patience... (what's that?) - My bench setup is just the MC, a short brake line, and a spare CBR rear caliper in a vise. I just prefer to get fluid moving and confirm the rebuild is good before installing on the bike.... I still hate working with any brake fluid and bleeding.... sometimes its 10 minutes and its good to go, other times its screw with for an hour or more, and not get anywhere.

MSerfozo Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 6 hours ago, mello dude said: I saw you posted you wrecked.... so the frame is toast? Curious as to your plans. My red Bandit is OK. It was just a 25mph lowside. Bar end and shifter replaced, rash on the tail section covered with a sticker, and the engine lower side cover will wear the scar for a while. Taking it to the dragon, etc. in a week. The silver bike in the pic was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. It was crashed bad but had a lot of really nice parts for me to salvage. That's where I got the Brembo monoblocks and masters. Today, I plan to swap shocks to put the Racetech built Hayabusa shock in my bike. The engine has 11:1 1216cc pistons, a "Gary Dye" head, and a Barnett GSXR clutch. It'll go in my Bandit over the winter. The forks and frame are totalled. I hope to disassemble the forks to salvage the Racetech valves and springs but I'll probably need a bandsaw because they are so bent. After I scrap the frame, I'll get my half of the garage back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSerfozo Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I swapped the Racetech rear shock to my bike and changed the oil. It's ready for the dragon now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Check how low the oil sump is unloaded(@the kickstand). I going to have to stop over a speed bump and see the clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Installed a new K&N air filter to replace this filthy filter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Couple days late but pulled the wheels off and had State 8 mount and balance a new set of Pirelli Angel GT II's and reinstall. I already love these tires! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I rode to MVNU to see my wife and daughter at a district choir camp. I always wanted to ride my bike to college but never did due to the inconvenience. 22 years later I made it happen. Better late than never. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahoo Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Said goodbye to Strom today. Had countless great days exploring thousands of miles of backroads, skyline drive, blue ridge parkway, north GA mountains, and beyond, but haven’t really been riding it lately. So… off to a new owner 👍 Back to just one MC in the garage for the first time in 12 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Rewired the crappy USB plug in the glove box to be an SAE connector. Now I have a fast charger instead of a useless slow charge, and another SAE plug for things I may need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) No pics but ripped the bodywork off the bike. Cleaned it. Changed the oil and swapped water back to anti-freeze for the winter. Might flush the brakes in the next coming days. Need to pull the forks and shocks to get them refreshed. Then pull the wheels and bring them inside. I hate winter. Edited October 20, 2021 by TimTheAzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
