Just finished replacing the cylinder head and base gasket on the wifes bike!
It got a cylinder hone, new piston, new rings, all new o-rings etc.
I replaced the timing chain guide in this one also, since it had alot of wear at 6K miles too.
I nailed it this time! my dirty little trick of the wire THROUGH the chain where the index mark was worked perfectly!
Had it torn down and put back together in a couple hours.
These little bikes provide so much pleasure and satifaction riding them and working on them, I'll never get rid them!
I'm pretty dang proud of myself tonight.
I even rode it around the block 4 times to roll up 1 mile on the odometer in the rain.
Tomorrow I'll put on my 3mm wetsuit and take her for a break in ride in the rain.
Just wanted to share.
