What have you done to your CBR 1000f today?
#1351
Had an actual day off yesterday, so for relaxation I decided to work on the bike .
I installed the set of coils I picked up off eBay to see if it helped the cold strarting (they didn't), pulled the plugs (look good), moved the pickup for my digital thermometer so it won't pick up the engine heat and installed HVMP extra heavy bar ends to reduce the vibration at 3000 rpm (they did). They also allowed me to move my grip further out so now there is room for the Vista Cruise.
Now I wait for the rain to quit so I can ride.

More new bits
Put new starter solenoid, new ignition switch and replaced some wiring on my 1991 cbr1000f project bought for £375 . Took coolant bottle off to clean out and put blue silicone hose from the thermostat to the coolant bottle. Also a new gasket for my yoshi to fit into collector box

More project work
Today cleaned out coolant bottle. Used a dishwasher tablet, boiling water and some old nuts and bolts. Filled about a third full and give a good shake and the nuts and bolts get all the crud off leave stand for a couple of hours and hey presto like new inside. Will refill with water for another rinse and then refill with new antifreeze. Remounted the Yoshi silencer had link pipe on wrong way round ready for start up again on Sunday

Still rebuilding top end. Redesigning CCT (v exciting prospect and top secret until completed), buying new Volvo tomorrow, generally excited about everything.
I can't wait to get her back on the road but at the same time patience is the greatest virtue when doing engine work. No rush. The train takes the strain.
