Got another nice "offroad" ride (still don't have registering plates :banghead: ). 60km after rebuild already :bike:

Can anybody post some photos and write what is included in those toolkits?

6 turns in total and Yamaha started to talk with me as it should! :)

Jet sizes - forgot to write down :/ Mix screws - two turns. Regarding slides - when I push them up it takes about 2 seconds to fall down completely, but the move is quite smooth. Is it normal?

Yes, synced using U-pipe method. But even if they would not be synced perfectly - it shouldn't have so big influence. The bike sometimes goes up to 4kRPM and holds that for about 10 seconds, then goes down slowly. When I hit the throttle & release it, it goes down slowly. Something is wrong & I...

Since I do not allow myself to think that I'll not solve paper issues, today I have cleaned carbs. One of the pilot jets was plunged by dirt. New inlet stubs have arrived, so I was able to build bike up completely & take a short ride! :D :bike: This is how it looks like now (only sit is not...

...and of course troubles. I need to get a paper that was missing from the registration office from Germany :doh: Otherwise I can sell this bike for the parts :banghead: Good that I have some friends there - I asked them to call there & get to know how I could arrange this. Will know something...

Today I wanted to put labels on painted elements. So I had to check whether bottom edge of fuel tank is laying flat when on a bike. Of course not - about 2 cm higher at the front. Here is bike with painted fuel tank. And both mirrors - last time i couldn't screw in one, cause thread in aluminum...

If you have old filter with foam, you can order just a sheet of filter foam & with a little bit of handwork replace old one. ;)

Diaphgrams are completely new. I have done small research on this forum & got another suspection - rather some air leaks. My connectors between engine & carbs are old (with lots of cracks) - there might be some holes there. I have ordered new ones. I'll reclean carbs as well (once again, this...

Painting is still not ready :er: I'm supposed to get items ready within two hours - can't wait to see result! Today I have synchronised carbs - pipe method :wink2: And exchanged foam in air filters. Old ones were veeery "gummy". I have problems with precise regulation - engine does not...

I've asked here. See how much it will cost & what dates are possible. Probably will do it during winter... Cause NOW I can't waiting when geting plates & ride! :bike:

I don't like the seat - it was rebuilded (changed leather cover) by previous owner. For me it looks like a rotten cucumber :thumbdown: Maybe I'll look later for new one, or try to get original cover (hope he didn't destroy foam inside).

Thanks. Some small works will be still needed (e.g. cleaning or exchanging some rusted screws, some polishing on old chromes). But I am quite happy of the result already. :D Since "teardown" was made 7 years ago, I can't remember where should go one part :confused: Kind of flat copper braided...

Cześć! If it will be easier - you can call me Pete ;) I had to change diaphgrams in the carbs, fix wiring (new PCV tubes, retaped), fix switches (e.g. make new start button of hard wood :D ), paint some details (like switches housings, battery holder, metal support of plate & turn lights...
