I was considering leaving the bike off the road for next summer anyway because I plan to do this rebuild, and since the engine is out, and I've had most of the bike taken apart several times already before, I might just do a full restoration. The fairing will be off, the engine out... I might...

I called around about getting the engine rebuilt professionally. Two places quoted me $10,000. My jaw hit the floor. I already spent a couple thousand on luggage for the bike. Luggage isn't an option, even through aftermarket for this bike. I bought full Givi Outback, and mounting brackets for...

So, a piece of polished marble should work? It doesn't flex, and is machine ground and polished. And very strong. Do I understand this right? I would use an abrasive, like an adhesive sandpaper, with the flat surface to sand the machined surface perfectly flat?

Thanks.

The image doesn't show up, at least for me, on the website, so I attached a screen-shot. Is this the one you are referring to? https://www.princessauto.com/en/1000-lb-hydraulic-pneumatic-motorcycle-lift-table/product/PA0008667784

Great info, Thanks! What do you mean by 'lap the sealing"? Do the GSXR 750 "oil boiler" engine parts also fit the GSXF 750? That would make parts-finding much easier. Maybe upgrading, too. I'll have to get a compression tester, I don't currently have one. I'm unfamiliar with the tensioner. Is...

Thanks for the great info. I wanted to send a quick message because I'll forget by tomorrow who it was that offered to help.

Thanks, Priller. This is some great insight, and I expect will be very useful. Reading this actually got me excited to star, but I still have a ways to go to prep. I hope to have that surgical atmosphere you mentioned. I have a storage shelf left to build in the shed, then some clearing out to...

FYI, it looks like I'm having a busy day at work today, so I apologist if I don't reply for a while after creating this post.

Before I found this forum, I was in a Suzuki forum, and a Katana forum. The Katana forum had almost no traffic and recently shut down. The Suzuki forum is nearly the same. It's being kept alive by one admin that replies to all new member's posts, and no one else. The people that keep this forum...

I only have a torque ratchet for lug nuts. I'll buy one for this project. How do you calibrate them, or check them for accuracy? Budget: What ever it takes? lol Like I said, I'm bad at organization and planning. I have a line of credit for related costs that I will charge to, and pay-off, as I...

I've been talking about rebuilding the engine on my Katana 750 for a couple of years now because I can hear what I'm sure is my timing chain rattling on take-off. After building a shed this summer, I'm finally freeing up space in the garage to give myself room to work, and I want to start on...

Do you mean hot safeties? I know lots of shops in my city doing safeties, if you live near Brantford, and want a legit safety, I can recommend a shop.

I saw Trudeau's video a couple years ago they released in Nigeria. It was bad. He claim Canada had over a million jobs it couldn't fill so we desperately needed Nigerian immigrants to come fill these positions. That's not an un-kept promise, that's an outright lie.

This works, too, because I looked into deleting the emissions on my ecodesiel and was told by several shops they won't do it. One of them explained that the fines are so high that it bankrupts the shop.

My bad. I looked it up. It's called Marble Slab Creamery. Edit: I won't share the exact location because, although I'd like the owner to get what he deserves, I don't want a struggle girl's life to get even harder when she looses her job.

I took my son to a Cold Stone Creamery in August. The Indian girl working there was very nice and we talked a little. She revealed that she'd been in Canada for a few months and is really struggling to pay rent. She has to share a place with several others to afford it (I think she said 4 or 5...

Who said they want a white Canada? I must have missed that comment. But since you brought it up, who can afford 3.5 kids per couple in Trudeau's Canada? My wife and I have 2.5 kids, so we are in the positive. lol

I'm Canadian, and white. My wife is now Canadian, but born in Tanzania, and black. When we met in 2010, she was living in Hamilton, and I was in Brantford. When she came to Brantford she'd always point out black people because it was rare to see black people in Brantford. I would estimate (these...

It won't both me. Post it and see if a Karen makes an appearance. lol
