Awesome, thanks Jeff. Seems like a bit of a silly thing to ask, but I'm glad it looks like I haven't buggered anything yet!

Been rebuilding the engine, got it all painted and pretty. Just waiting to get the cylinders back from the machine shop. I've noticed that since installing the starter motor that the engine will only turn over in one direction. When I turn it in gear, the drive shaft or whatever you might call...

Thanks for the awesome response! Looking forward to getting everything going again once the weather clears up.

Hey there, I'm about ready to paint my engine covers/cases and I was just wondering how you went about doing so? It's pretty cold out where I live, and the paint I'm using says to spray at around 20°C. I was thinking I could keep the paint can warm indoors until I'm ready to spray and heat the...

Wish I could give you some feedback, but I actually haven't got the chance to ride it with the R6 shock yet! Still working on getting it running :banghead:

Just noticed I've got a few more pics here that I've yet to post, added custom machined bars, headlight and mount. I had to use the top triple tree from an RS125 Tuono, as it's already drilled and beefed up for risers. I'm in the middle of an engine rebuild at the moment, DynaGlide and Jeff0113...

Oh man, I've got an R6 monoshock on my bike right now as well. Had to modify the frame and swing arm quite a bit to get it to fit though. Not sure how yours is gonna fit seeing as it's looks to be a different year than the one I have. Good luck!

Awesome thread man! I'm loving all the DOHC engine/build threads going around here. Just a bit curious about the bearing shells from the XJR1300 you're using. In the DOHC manual it says that there are specific colour coded bearing sizes to match up with the crankshaft and con rods. Don't know if...

Thanks for the input guys! Good thing I'm not building a performance machine here. Think I'll go ahead and use the heavier flywheel, seeing as it's in much better condition. Always really neat to hear about what goes into engine design and how much "little" things can change the overall running...

Awesome. I figured it would, just wanted to know anyone else had any experience with mixing up the crankshafts. Thanks!

Hey all! I've recently started an engine rebuild here and I have a Seca engine as well as a Maxim engine. My plan is to use the best bits out of both engines. I've checked part numbers and it seems that the crankcase, head, cylinder, valves, camshafts and most other internals are all matching...

Hey trife, I've got the Yamaha tank emblems and the maxim cover badges kicking around still. Pm me if you're still interested!

Sorry for the late reply there Jack, I didn't see it until now! And yes, I still have the right side battery cover and the right side cover that goes over top of that. Wasn't too sure which one you meant there.

Thanks Sesty! I got the forks from the UK yea, I found some for a good deal and shipping wasn't too much more than anything from the states. I've got the old tank sitting around in my garage, thanks for the suggestion Moto, I'll check it out!

Ooookay, been gone a while again. I've made some more progress on the bike too! I've been plodding along trying to get parts and everything organized and good to go. First off, here's how the bike looks as of a couple weeks ago: Some new things here! First off, the Aprilia rs125 front end...

Bump! Also have a whole bunch of Seca parts for sale as well. I'm barely keeping anything from either bikes, so if there's something any of you want let me know and I'll take a look! Thanks.

Hey, Do you have the top motor mounts still? I'm looking for some in REALLY GOOD shape, thanks!

Thanks Dyna for the awesome posts! This thread is definitely getting bookmarked. :bike:

I second that! Looking to do a rebuild come fall.

Hey there, left side cover is still up for grabs. PM me if you're still interested. Thanks
