27-6-2015 tyres, intakes seals, flanges belt

30-6-2015 - 27-6-2015 tyres, intakes seals, testbike for intake flanges , and again belt quicky

early moring loose tyres and bearings change, incredible looking wheels for a 2005 Firebolt, fitted new tyres and wheel bearings 

early moring loose tyres and bearings change, with wheels looking so spotless, cleaning up the old tyre weights is at my pleasure

please check up my bike, it runs really rought , tps was very low and way to low idle, and the intake seals where leaking, apointment is set to change theme

nice bike, but something strange about it , asjusted the suspention as the rear was like a rock

Uly long term testing intake flanges, 3 years and 30000 km down the road ( daily driver and also in road salt / winter ) as the bike before needed new seals every 4 -5000 km , it only now starts to feel a little hickup cruising low throttle input

Uly long term testing intake flanges, so top side off

Uly long term testing intake flanges, lower side stipped

Uly long term testing intake flanges, little time saver not to have to remove the exhaust

Uly long term testing intake flanges, already see a reason, spark plug wire rubbed hard

Uly long term testing intake flanges, but took the flanges off anyway, these are still the first proto type , non plated ( as they are for sale now ) so with the winter riding they corrode

Uly long term testing intake flanges, seals to the head still perfect

Uly long term testing intake flanges, note the markings on the flanges, where the inner o-rings seats ( black line )

Uly long term testing intake flanges, little corrosion from the flanges,

Uly long term testing intake flanges, and a perfect seal still visible on the heads

Uly long term testing intake flanges, will clean up the flanges, and heads, and put new o-rings on, fitting the new flanges can be a pain as you need to make the manifold fit ( allot off people don't understand this ) but if you have a problem bike well worth the effort. it is by no means intended as a precausion modifiction. if it an't broke don't fix it smile-emoticon

 

Uly long term testing intake flanges, next the the front plug wire,will change the plugs to as they are very crispy corroded already

Uly belt quicky, 68000, belt snapped , daily driver

Uly belt quicky, for emergiancy i will put a new belt on, but it really needs a new pulley to

Uly belt quicky, foot peg bracket off, swing arm brace out

Uly belt quicky, new belt on and tighening everything

Uly belt quicky, and a little lube on the side stand , just little things, will make it better
