Probably the other question I had too, what service/repair manuals are we using for the brute forces?
Well...if the shed had everything you needed to not only to do all of the R&R but to check all the parts specs and do it cleanly, and you don't mind buying or borrowing the special tools needed and has a machine shop close by for the machine work (Boring,decking, rod reconditioning, valve job...ect)...and of course a full shop manual and access to parts...sure, anything's possible.Thanks for the reply NMKawierider
Sourcing secondhand engines or parts in Aus for these bikes is hard.
How big of a job is a full rebuild for someone with half an idea and a shed full of tools?
Any suggestions on a manual to purchase?Well...if the shed had everything you needed to not only to do all of the R&R but to check all the parts specs and do it cleanly, and you don't mind buying or borrowing the special tools needed and has a machine shop close by for the machine work (Boring,decking, rod reconditioning, valve job...ect)...and of course a full shop manual and access to parts...sure, anything's possible.
Is this an 2008 SRA or IRS 650? And with 20,000kms are you sure the frame isn't showing fatigued areas?Any suggestions on a manual to purchase?
Machine shop no issue, ive got a flywheel puller and primary removal tool.
Will be purchasing a full rebuild kit for this, rather than using older components - the bike has 20,000kms on it.
Frame is fine, and it'd be the least of my worries if it was fatigued.Is this an 2008 SRA or IRS 650? And with 20,000kms are you sure the frame isn't showing fatigued areas?
