The clutch is the venhill kit off amazon so it wasn't very expensive. Eventually I'll get around to running a new clutch/brake master/throttle assembly.

Oooooooooook

Time to clean this build up.

Yesterday I got the bike torn down, engine out, and all that remains tear down wise is taking the front end off.

I have on order a mikuni VM38 and some thunder goodies to go with it, a new throttle tube to replace my janky one and new cables for throttle and clutch, and the schmancy top triple clamp to lower the front end further.

I'm currently looking for a DR650 cam or similar. I would love to grab one of Lancers but I'd rather spend the money on powder coating my gross frame and getting the cylinder bored out for that juicy 97mm wiseco on my desk Grin

.

It looks like I will be porting the head while I have things apart for now so I'll update things as I go.

If anyone has a lead on a dr650 cam or an open header gemme a shout. Also has anyone tried running a titanium header? Pics incoming

It consists mainly of regret repentance, remorse, penitence, compunction and attrition. That's what you get when you replace a maintenance-free drive belt with a chain.

The front sprocket is small and throws more stuff off the chain than the larger rear sprocket, and it is common that the engine gets a lot of gooey build up in this area.

I stopped oiling chains years ago. In the odd event that the chain looks grimy I remove it and place it in diesel overnight and simply wipe it down.

Re: Cafe Build Reply #88 - 10/14/19 at 09:57:36 I'm not sure how much fun it will be to ride if you lower the forks anymore and don't install rearsets. You will be in for a lot of grinding footpegs. If you plan on installing rearsets, then you may want to do that before powder coat.

Its on the docket, just focusing on the engine mods at this point. I've poked around the forums a bit but if you have any ideas I might notve seen I'm all ears!
