Title: Next Project - Hydrolock Rebuild
Post by: sport rider on May 26, 2020, 08:26:38 AM
Picked up this wounded warrior and going to see if I can bring it back to life.  it's got 76k on the clock.Lowers were a bit banged up, so will likely put it back together with just the upper fairing.  That will all be worked out after I see if I can revive it.  Overall, the bike was kept very well.  it is pretty clean even under the plastics.  a couple standing drops caused problems.  fortunately, the upper fairing around the mirrors was still in tact on both sides.

I still have to pull the rear end before I drop the motor.  from initial testing, it appears number 2 is bad.  I have a donor motor to pull parts from.

You may need to pull the motor for other reasons, but just in case it was only for the hydrolock damage, FYI: you do not need to remove the motor to replace the #2 or #3 conrod.

pulled off the rear end and dropped the motor last night.  pretty much ready to begin the open heart surgery....
