beek Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 its starting to look summat like now mate Cheers Si I decided to go ahead and mod under the fairing as i thought the bottom yoke showing looked a bit odd. It was pretty easy to do ill post some pics when i get a chance. Next job is making a cowl around radiator kind of blending it into the shape of the fairing. Ive got lots of them silly little jobs that should take 5 minutes but ending up spending hours on them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beek Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Still got lots of the smaller jobs to do but decided if i want it fired up while the weather is still warm the engine has got to be built. The cases are already aqua blasted so after getting some bits together i was ready to start. i havent a final list for parts so making that as i go along. its short but you never know. engine cases clean and on my home made stand ready Test fit of cranks to make sure all the important bits line up. Cranks in and timed up Top case fitted and checking crank timing is spot on Disc valves fitted. disc covers on Cant do the top end as waiting for bits to arrive, Gearbox and clutch is next but need to check it over first more to follow as i go.

YZ faybo Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Love the bare ally look, all ways fancied that for mine till I sold the lot!, looking real clean and factory. Are you going to powder coat the frame or make the paint work bold and lairy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENGOATCHOKER Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 What that engine really needs is one of those gearbox/dry clutch conversions that Nova Racing do... don't do it it's shite and weighs more than the wet clutch fitted . i asked about one when i bought my nova box and even graham said it was shite (in a roundabout way) . looking good by the way .

Think there is some truth in what you say. Id agree the rg is prone to gearbox problems but the price of the nova gearboxes and clutch just make it out of reach to most folks, As a road bike i see no benefit of fitting them even if it looks good but if i won the lottery then maybe id rethink I am planning to replace the primary gears with straight cut ones at some point and uprate the gearbox but that it.

GREENGOATCHOKER Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 sorry i would say the gearbox is a must have , i've had experience of gear 2 leaving its shaft on a fully modded unit and as usual left via the normal route straight out off the back of the box (cases are expensive although you have some spare i seem to remember) . i also run straight cut primaries as this helps take some of the side load off the crank/gears . its the dry clutch conversion they do thats shite , well for road use anyway .

beek Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 my brothers old rg 5 and a mates rg 5 both had the second gear trouble Ive just been checking over my gearbox and it looks good i have every confinence in it otherwise it wouldnt go in so im happy to use them for now but as i said will replace some gear, But not all. got to agree the straight cut primary gears are a must on these big two stroke as they do thend to pull the cranks apart. The gearbox discussion could go on for ever some bike have high miles with no problems others seem to get problem, guess a lot of it must be down to the rider, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate 400 disc valves, mainly as id already got them but heard that the timing is slightly better than 500 ones but havent seen any proof. beside they were already in the engine trying to source all the petrol and oil pipes never known a engine use so many differnt sizes How you doing are things progressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beek Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Getting close! What pipes are you going to use? Ive got Sugaya pipes, so called one of the best, ive had to do a lot of chopping mind but kept the same dimensions. Just finished the top pipes but still need to weld the stingers and silencer mounts will post some pics later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Getting close! What pipes are you going to use? He's running some gp pipes, i tried to look through the pages to find where it was written but couldnt find it, but hes definitely running some sort of gp exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beek Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Ok the pipes I originally bought some Sugaya pipes these were one up each side , so the first thing i needed to do was to convert then to gp style 2 up one side. so after altering the cones i was able to get the 2 pipes pointing in the direction i wanted. Making the stinger parts were going to be a bit more difficult so ive made some up in copper pipe to give me some idea of the shape im after and how many bends ill need to do, so this is the lower pipes mock up The rear top pipes are a lot straight forward just needed to adjust the stingers and size up the silencers, ( yes they are of a works rgv500 titanium and carbon ) Pic showing the silencers in position Pic showing the rear light and tail tidy fitted What the followers will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
