Topic: Double final chain.......and a new project 750 K0

[Sgt.Pinback]

Finally, weather is getting warmer so I could go on working in the garage.

Gave her new front brake lines and fluid.
Took off the rear fender, cleaned it inside and out, mounted correct rear light/turn signalbracket and put it back on the bike.

Gave her new oil. Mounted a spare ignition coil. New spark plugs. Statically adjusted the ignition.

Mounted the fuel tank from the other KO.

With the help of the BMW battery pressed the starter bottom.

Can´t believe, after 15min, putting out spark plugs for cleaning 2 times,

SHE FIRED UP

after more than 40years sitting in a shed.  One after the other cylinder came. Good girl!

3 minutes later the oil preasure signal went out.  Rev.counter spinned around but after a few minutes calmed down. Engine is rather smooth running (only 30 tkm).

Next job will be valve, chain tensioner and carb adjusting.

I am happy on this very sad day in Belgium.

Great find.  It really looks to be shining up quite nicely. 

[Sgt.Pinback]

Thank you.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Adjusted valves, ignition and carbs.
Got the electrics working, fiddled the cables through the handle bar.

Realized a "knock" in the front fork.
Had to change the front brake caliper holder, too much wear. Someone put a washer into it to fix the holder pin.
Good to have a spare holder/pin/arm.
Adjusted the front fork steering.

Wanted to do a short test around the house. No clutch.
Opened the clutch and found a homemade clutch plate.
Remembered, a clutch issue was the reason the bike was set aside in 1975 by PO.

Looking for a correct one with new springs.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Got a used clutch plate and correct screws.
Mounted new clutch and springs.

Mounted new clutch cable. They now have a black rubber protection.
Took that old brownish rubber from the old genuine cable and fitted it to the new cable.

Took her out for a short test. Gearbox and clutch now working fine. Had to adjust the float high of carb no.3 (overflow).

Now waiting for the paint parts to finish project.

[Sgt.Pinback]

As I will have to replace the airfilter box I decided to take out the carbs and cleaned them in my ultrasonic x-mas gift from my wife

[Sgt.Pinback]

Got some pics from Menno.
He's  got of a lot of work with my old wrinkle tank and the body panels and
trying to cope to the paint sample (left side panel) I sended to him.

Doing an awesome work - as usual!

[Sgt.Pinback]

Took off the alternator and gearbox cover to have them polished.
Being a family project my wife did the finish.

Last time she sat on a motorbike is 12 years ago, Lago Garda, Italy,  with a ZRX1100R.
She gave it up when we got our daughter.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Got paint set back from Menno Dek.
Will now give her a new chain with genuine sprocket.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Fitted genuine K0 NOS front and rear sprocket and a new chain.

Passed the MOT and made first test ride.

Will put some km on her this weekend and then adjust carbs, valves etc.
