Add to that missing parts in the starter gearbox on the left side, the clutch assembled with washers and spacers in the wrong order, the sump cover attached using some sort of glue that almost took some TNT to get off... Yeah, mechanic wannabes are so much fun to follow.Isn't it fun pulling down an engine that has been 'REBUILT'!
Cam chain re-riveted so tight it struggled to turn.
All of the clutch spring screws heads stripped.
More sealant than a silicone factory everywhere.
Cam chain runner separated.
Bolts & nuts either loose or way too tight.
Lucky it wasn't fired up.
Looking at all the parts as I pull it apart it looks like a good candidate for some fiddling.

So I managed to not get distracted with other tasks too much and accomplished what I set out to do (which wasn't much).Today has barely started here, I just finished my coffee, rain has stopped so I can walk over to my shop and see how much damage I can do today.
Or how big of a dent I can make in my ToDo list on the X.
I am hoping to install the front brake, make a new line with new custom fittings, fill it up and perform ops check to satisfaction. (front brake didn't work when I got the bike so I had to disassemble it, clean it, rebuild the caliper, paint it and reassemble)
I would also like to make a rear brake switch bracket to attach the switch and run the wires. Otherwise she won't pass inspection.
I also need to make a bracket for and install the speed hall-effect sensor for the digital speedometer. It's going on the right front fork, right by the brake disc where I will glue the li'l magnets in place.
There is plenty more to do, I just cannot remember all of it right now. But I have a spreadsheet with all the tasks that need to be carried out. It isn't short, trust me.
Well, off to the shop.
