Your cleaning and painting skills are exceptional. Looks like a great project restoring a classic. Thanks, I'm just trying to do things on a budget really. You can buy new panels, but they are expensive and this is very much a budget build. When it's finished I will use it as my commuter. My wife keeps on saying just get it done. It's only to ride to work. Don't worry about the looks! |

Well I wasn't having a lot of luck today. I wanted to check the condition of the oil seal, and oil pump drive. The stator was a nightmare to get off. Even with the proper puller. As you can see from the picture, it flared the end of the crank.  The old seal is bad too.  |

Did you gave the flywheel a small tap with a hammer when it was under tension? Thats usually works pretty good.

The centre stand was was so badly worn, it hit the CVT cover.  I ordered another stand which took three weeks to arrive. Then was too short. So ended cutting out the mounts and getting fresh metal welded in for £30.  Drilling out the old mounting rod as it's cast into the cases was a nightmare. |

I think the last gen is a 4stroke 155cc and only for the asian market. Yeah it is. Nearly everything is trashed. It's cost me about £1,000 so far. And that's not including buying it. 🤦 I know the feeling, i’m getting my parts list compiled, and i think i’m already about the same in the hole… |
