Sitting here procrastinating starting a fuckton of homework I thought I'd make a thread to document the rebuild of my f4i for this season. Got it last
may as my first stuntbike already set up. 19mm nissin hb master, 929 forks, 905 cage, hohey 4 piston dcb, vortex clipons, 64t sprocket, 12 bar and
that's all i can think of off the top of my head. Looks way better in pictures than in person.
Little by little I began fixing small issues and started to actually ride it. I progressed and eventually I got tired and scared of riding a pile of doo doo
that vibrated and rattled like crap as soon as I hit the throttle. I've had subframe bolts come off, rear set come off etc. So last week I decided to tear it
down to tighten everything up. While I was at it, I said fuck it, might as well paint it. So i will be getting that done this or the next week. Plus I've come
across a bunch of things that need and will be fixed. Oh well. Here she is right before the tear down.
To do list:
- new hb master, r1 brembo, got it 3 weeks ago
- replace pitted forks (ordered)
- fix radiator
- shorten the stock exhaust, maybe get a new one
- replace rear wheel bearings. They were a hot mess and the
wheel rocked side to side like crazy, rubing on the dcb (ordered a set but a wrong one FML, replacement already in the mail)
- get a fender
- fix right motor mount
- put a small lip on the tank and fix holes
- Paint frame, swingarm, plastics, tank
- valve adjustment
- throttle body sync
- clean the fuck out of everything
- torch brake pads to rid of fork oil
- rsc (got it last week)
- replace head bearings (got them today)
- fix the cage and make longer sliders
- all new fluids (duh)
- probably more little annoying crap
- put it back together within two weeks from now hopefully
Taking her apart.
During ( doesn't look that bad here)
How most of it sits as of 10 minutes ago
Filthy wheel bearings
I will be udpating this little by little as I get parts in or things done.
