Crystal Fuel

Done a couple of evenings this week and made some progress, if pulling things apart is progress.

After taking the injectors out, it was obvious that the throttle bodies needed to come off for cleaning, so out with the air box and off they come, all fixings are coming undone easily which leads me to believe it has either never been touched or it's been properly serviced.






Bit of cleaning needed.
A look down the inlet ports and things ain't bad, some crystalised fuel in there but I'll get the hoover in to prevent it dropping into the bores. Valve stems look good with no build up of carbon. 
Clip lines from the casting cores are a bit rough so I might polish em up a bit for some extra BHP.




Underneath is a bit messy, looks like it's been in a bush.
Nice and white with fur but easily cleaned.



So while the throttle bodies are soaking, I went back to the front end to remove and strip the forks, calipers off and onto the mudguard. Thats when I found the damaged lug. As in snapped off the fork leg. Oh well I can get that repaired easy enough and it's getting painted so no probs..
Stripped down the first fork leg easy enough and the oil was fairly clean thenl it came to removing the stanchion from the leg. I haven't got it out yet, but it will.
