Part 1 - Restoration of V4 project "Pocket Rocket"
I'm starting a new project-restoration of a motorcycle I've seen in my life.
So, mini rocket c engine V4, all standard, blind purchase, another bunch of wood)
Pictures of the ad:
The motorcycle was very far from me, as far away as Ussuriysk, the delivery came out about the cost of the motorcycle itself(.
Well, I really wanted to bring it back to life, so I have no regrets.
Awaiting shipment to me, plus a huge blue bag of parts stuffed in it.
A month of waiting and here it is
Slowly began disassembling and moving it into the house
The bike is mangled everywhere you look, everything needs attention:
- The engine is dead, I don't know what happened to the piston, it feels like it fell apart and worked in such a state - the edges are melted or something, the crank liners are naturally turned, the knee is dead, strangely, but the heads were not affected. Cylinders are thoroughly jacked up, as I understand it, liners are not changed here.
- The carburators look like they're from an RVF400.
- Air filter box..., I'd better write that it's not there.
- The tank from RVF400 has some rust on top and dents, inside is surprisingly like new.
- Wheels are also from RVF400, for 17", dented front and rear.
- There are no footpeg brackets, instead of them a piece of steel cut out with a bolt cutter with a thickness of 5mm.
- The exhaust was not complete, here it is on two pipes, one bank is Yoshimura Zero Titanium.
- The chain and sprockets are dead.
- Front fork leaks, oil seals and dust covers are dead.
- The dash is assembled on thermosoply, the front headlights are mounted on tie rods (and not from a VFR at all, most likely from a ZXR).
- The bottom spider (which holds the dash and headlights) is obscenely dented.
- Radiators are rather dead, the upper one is badly dented on both sides, the lower one has almost no mounts on it.
- No radiator fan.
- Plastic seems to be Chinese, tail doesn't fit, huge ugly gaps, fender is broken.
- Rear amort seems to be from the first edition nc30 (no external tank).
- Aliexpress handles, front brake car, and clutch handle from the same place.
- There are missing buttons on the left remote.
- The tank lid is also not original, as is the ignition switch.
- The rear brake car is Nissin, not from the VFR.
- Seats are in thermosoles.
A lot of parts are missing.
On the plus side:
- Reinforced hoses
- Front fork seems to be alive.
- 17" wheels (less hassle with rubber).
FUUUUH, I think I have listed everything) the continuation follows...
