ZXR 750 L2 Update =8-)

bah, aside from being ripped off for the width of my garage (car parking probs) my biggest gripe is a lack of powerpoints, else i'd be considering the mini telly, radio, as well as power for various power tools.

but on the up side its under a set of units and has brick walls, so with the door closed to stop the outside wind it stays a heap warmer than outside in winter (when its 7-9 degrees out, its 15-19 in there), and stays the same temp in summer when it gets stinkig hot outside

always good as a distraction - especially when your mate drops a circlip into the crankcases during a top-end re-build

Well you can see some pictures of where I dropped my engine and split the crankcase here http://www.ksrc-au.com/html/fixing_a_zx9r_gearbox.html

I had a whole stack of little blue boxes from supercheap auto that I put all my bits and pieces in and labelled them with a bit of duct tape and a texta. Didn't have any leftovers either

Cool, nice looking pad Mick
Btw I've read that article a couple of times and it's pretty cool

Thanks mate, you always wonder whether anyone ever reads that stuff. I know I got a lot of info from other people that gave me the confidence to go ahead and do it myself, so thought I'd do what I could to help other people too. Let me know if you need any more info on it.

Nice work Mick - that is a great article, first time I have read it.

I had a similiar problem on my z1000 at the end of the 2001 season - it was jumping pretty badly out of 2nd and 3rd. Cut a long story short ( and no piccies ), split cases, check out 3rd gear on input shaft, dogs all worn to buggery, I had also worn the selector fork down to about 3mm, min. thickness according to the Gospel of St Factory Manual was 4.5mm no wonder the mongrel was jumping out of gear !! Also the groove on the input shaft was out to about 7mm !! ( should have been about 5.....)

did a plunder from a spare z motor, with a gearbox in much better nick, no more problems bloody gearboxes.....

cheers

Excellent
Speaking of money; I picked up some of those zippy bags today... 200 of them For some reason I've always presumed they're quite annoying expensively. HAhaha, don't ask why, I have no idea.
Anyhoo, I was pleased to find they're reasonably priced so I grabbed a few (craploads!! WOOHOO!!) and re-sorted most of my fiddly bike bits and bolts and stuff tonight. Haray; zippy bags are great.

200 ??? mate you will have enough for each individual nut'n'bolt..... glad its working well, you can't be too carefull with these jobs, nothing worse than spending hours looking for some shitty missing washer, etc.

cheers

Holy snapping harnytoads Mick thats a great how too. Thanks for the effort mate, I'm sure it'll come in handee later on with "Tiggr".
As for you Garage mate, think it needs a visit from Team Pi$$head to give it that "tossed up in" look
Cheers Brett

Third picture down Brett, it looks like someone already has ...didn't catch the bloody coolant quick enough and the stuff went everywhere

I wondered what the stuff on the floor was.......that is a great article Mick.

i just wanted to quickly add that i liked that article as well Mick!!! and when i first read it, i can remeber wondering... what the hell got spilled there?!!!
i still don't think i'd be game enough to try that (mainly cuz i don't have space/tools), but great "how to"!!!

btw.... keep us posted how you go Jimmy!

Finaly got my fingers clicking and took some photos off the oh-so-convenient digital camera .
