Re: very long 3aj rebuild
Finally had some time to go to the powder coater and got my center stand.
It was like that when I've bought it :

and now :


Fitting it to the bike was straightforward, even the standard nuts were long anough

That looks very close to the swingarm.

Re: very long 3aj rebuild
no, I don't think the swingarm would be an issue. I'm rather concerned about the chain that risks to touch the center stand when doing any serious off-roading. Should be OK on tarmac though.Mezo wrote:That looks very close to the swingarm.![]()

as you can see it is unlikely that the center stand touches the swinarmgobo wrote:no, I don't think the swingarm would be an issue.

Re: very long 3aj rebuild
Hello,
the work has to slow down a little. I could however, clean the carburetor. The bike had some problems when starting cold and I wasn’t sure about the state of carburetor. First, I cleaned it myself with a carburetor cleaner and I wasn’t satisfied with the result. Then I gave it to a guy with an ultrasonic cleaner and then the difference could be seen.
Some pics from the process:







cheers,
Pawel

Re: very long 3aj rebuild
Hello,
my 3AJ rebuild continues...
I wasn't confident with the standard front brake. After a close call that I have some months ago I decided to work on the breaking power. I had 2 solutions :
1) Install bigger brake disc with an appropriate brake adapter
2) Change the front disc, suspension.
I've opted for the second option. I've installed the front suspension, brakes, etc. from an XTZ 750 - the idea that I saw in Geoff's restoration topic.
The spokes, the rim are new. Everything else was reconditioned.
Below is the result :
