Last Saturday it was hot; stinkin' hot! But that was no reason not to meet at Paul's place and try and make some progress on the bike. Peter was late arriving so Paul and I began work on putting the handlebars back together after we have positioned the clipons on the frame. Everything went surprisingly well and in no time the clipons were installed (even if they were upside down). Ooh well.Next step was to change the oil and filter. By this stage Peter had arrived so he took the lead and emptied all the old oil into a bucket and then filled the "Yam" with nice new Motul.
At the same time Paul decided to start reassembling the old motor. Once we have it back in one piece we plan to sell it to some cart racers who apparently love the old FJ 1100 motors for their go-carts.
The "workshop day" was productive. Next week we plan to buy the headlight brackets and headlight along with some rear vision mirrors that fix to the ends of the clipons.
