i'm doing the same thing with my 97 F3.

Am one bolt away from dropping the engine...didn't have the right saize socket so off to sears after work. Will post up in a speprate thread. Mine will be taking me a while since I have other projects in the works too...like my 77 VW campervan and a 6 month old daughter :)

RE: F3 rebuild
 

yeah, but at least you dont have to rebuld the daughter, heh

RE: F3 rebuild
 

yeah we had the engine out last weekend and the rings are shot... we are not going to keep anything stock that we can change.... even got the aftermarket fairings picked out.

RE: F3 rebuild
 

finally got my engine out last night. Trying to get the throttle cables unhooked so I can pull it comepletely out and get it on my workbench to find out what is going on inside. Any pointers? I am having a nightmare getting the throttle bodies off so I can get at the cables.

Good ****, I may have a few questions for you here soon if you dont mind. If all goes well Ill be doing this same exact thing you are almost. Goodluck and keep us posted.

RE: F3 rebuild
 

Trotsky, about getting the cables outa the way. I recommend taking the handle bar off the fork leg. From there you can easily break down the twist throttle and take the cables out. With the cables out of the twist throttle, you can easily remove the cables from the carbs.

RE: F3 rebuild
 

thanks mark. Much easier to do with some more slack in those cables.

Will get the engine on the bench tomorrow and start tearing into it.

Nice pics orange. Looks like we are both on the same page right now. I will put pics up as soon as I get a few mnutes.
