The Strip-Down Continues
« on: May 15, 2016, 09:43:05 PM »
Well, the F2 is rapidly becoming a collection of its constituent parts. Aside from the butchered fork sliders I've found the rear brake master cylinder is also totally goosed. There's loads of other bits I want to replace (coils, cables, most seals and bearings etc etc). On the up-side I did a compression test on the motor (admittedly it was a cold motor) which showed readings all around 160psi and within 5% of each other. So it seems the motor is reasonably healthy. Which is a shame as it will be coming apart anyway  :) :).

Ooo no sir. A good running bike would be no use at all. Where's the fun in that  :P :D :). I've got a hankering for a P&M style endurance race rep type affair but the best bit is the tinkering.
