Thanks Spike, good luck too with yours! I am enjoying putting this back together,spent a few hours last night scraping gaskets and cleaning up the cases! Progress took a real beating this afternoon at work!! I played hooky and went to my mate Mikes to use his bead blaster,then on to pick up the wheels from the powdercoaters ...the finish is " chrome" but looks more like polished ally to me,Im happy with it ,they did a great job and good price too! Next job is to paint the rotor centres and calipers!

keep up the good work.
just a thought. u should have a look at the springs on the back side of the clutch basket while u have it apart. u cant get at it without splitting the cases. sometimes the springs eat away at the housing, get loose or just break. then its time to replace them.

Thanks Mark, good tip! I was having a look at the manual the other night and realized how inaccessible it was once the cases are back together! Here's the evidence! One of the 6 looks a bit dodgy, a little nick or two .had a similar issue on the race bike last year,very grabby clutch...ALL the springs were sagged or busted!

Is it a big deal to replace these.

..looks like you could drill out the rivets and replace?

More progress...Head is stripped, valves slid out smoothly , stem seals were predictably hard and brittle.a quick bath and its off the bead blast cabinet!

Rotors are painted, clear them tomorrow! High on life..
