Well in case we all forgot, when I bought my now red wheeled 93RR I got a 1999 crasher for free. The stator side case was smashed, and a chunk of the engine case went with it. I thought the crank was bent, but it seems with a pointer on the flywheel there was no runout, wobble, or anything. So that was good news. I had the carbs off last year and noticed that the #1 cylinder didn't seem to be firing properly. The vacuum slide on #1 wasn't seated properly and seemed to have shrunk compared to all the others. When I checked the intake tract on #1 it seemed there was a lot of carbon/nastiness on the valves while the other cylinders were surprisingly free of any build up. I carried on taking items apart, and noticed the #1 side of the airbox looked as though there had been a lot of backfiring. Weird to be honest. It has no plastics (they were so smashed and nasty that I tossed it all). It had skidded down the road and both wheels had rash around the out lip, so I just cleaned that up. And I mounted the old sh!tty du lips that came off the Cafe bike. Anywho, I want to see if I can turn this sucker into a track day bike. My 93 is just too pretty to risk on the track. :rotfl:
So here is where I will document whatever direction I take with this one. Bear in mind that there is no budget, meaning no money to throw at it, so it will be slow going. I hope you all enjoy!
We know I'm a pic whore, so here they are:
As the day I brought it home:
I tried to make it feel better by giving it a bath, it didn't help.......
The rear tire was flat, and I found 2 holes in it. So just to make it easier to roll I plugged them. The center was down to the cords, and that's where I plugged it. When I took that tire off to swap the other garbage tires on last week I counted 5 other plugs sticking out from inside the tire. This poor thing was definitely owned prior by an idiot.
