The Bike - C10 / Re: ZG1000 in GPz900 clothing
« Last post by berna1201 on April 12, 2024, 12:11:29 AM »
Hello
Sacred damage, personally, I reuse the screws too and I never had this problem, I think rather that the condition of the bolts is not the cause, but the result, I will look more on a problem of lubrication.

The 3/4 connecting rod heads are lubricated by the small metal tubing and it causes problems.

I have stuff that needs to go as my work space is limited and since I swapped out for GPz900 bodywork it's no longer needed.

Next on my to-do list is a C4 Corvette restomod and this stuff must go.

I'll take pics this weekend.

Here's the overbored engine autopsy.  Two of the stretched rod bolt are on the case, they came apart like taffy.

Damn then, it welds well, I have already repaired  :)

Both parts were broken, as it was on the sidecar it is no longer foldable.

The petcock stopped feeding on me causing the engine to die on a two lane road in heavy morning traffic.  I coasted off into an uphill gravel driveway and dropped it, breaking the peg.  That's a temporary fix that's turned permanent because apparently the left peg breaks on every drop and they're near impossible to find.

Petcock has been rebuilt but I sure can use that peg if anyone has one.

A few more pics.
Manual calls for dropping the engine for cylinder head r&r but I found zip tying the second row head bolts together with the bottoms flush with the mating surface allows getting it in and out.  These bolts are blocked from removing by the frame with the head in place. Huge time saver.

Front and rear rotors are AliExpress, so far no warping.  Wheels were cleaned then sprayed with 2K Clear Coat bodywork Rust-Oleum Industrial Black topped with 2K.

If I put on the ZRX1100 front end I have sitting in the garage the front forks, wheel and brakes will go on sale.

Thanks all for the positive feedback  :chugbeer:
I forgot to add a ZL900 Eliminator bevel gear was swapped in which really gets it off the line.

I didn't keep track of cost, you know how these things add up.  :) It probably would have been better to just buy a GPz900 but wrenching on bikes and cars are a hobby of mine.  Keeps me sane.

I consider motorcycle projects an investment in myself, the satisfaction of a job well done that bring many new things learned along the way.   :thumbs:
