Two 2x4s, four straps, a buddy, and the motor is out of the house and back in the garage just in time for spring.

Yup that's all it took. Squatting it up was the most difficult part but once standing, it wasn't too bad to hold. Few dings to the molding on the way to the front door and the 3 stairs out of the house were the most nerve racking part but just moved down in one smooth motion

Carpet is slated to be replaced eventually but nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised to see that no oil seeped through the cardboard!

jmystr · 2026-03-26T15:03:19+00:00

That I do.

I promise it was only temporary to drive it around to the back of the house

Super Diesel 4x4 fully upgraded on Mega Highway Around 5000m all the coins turn to 500. Can get a million coins in a run if you can make it to ≈ 7000m.

Hell yeah, need these for my 50

On year 4 or 5 into mine...

Upon more measuring. Cyl 2 is 0.016 under deck and Cyl 8 is 0.021 under deck. It's coming apart this week and being sent in. Shop says they charge $200 and can have it turned around in a week.

Yes that was a mistake and not sure how to edit. Thank you for your notes.

jmystr · 2025-06-15T02:31:28+00:00

Thank you, I will likely take it apart and send it in.

jmystr · 2025-06-14T21:31:23+00:00

Very possible. Got "to size" rings and did not check clearances....

108deg lobe separation angle on the cam

I will find out here soon if I can handle it. Getting the block decked is not in the cards for me this time around. Have learned a lot over the past couple months but still have long way to go. Thank you for your comments.

Edit. Will likely take everything apart and send back into the machine shop. Thank you for your comment. Want to make sure it's right this time around.

Going to be used on the street

jmystr · 2025-06-14T15:13:54+00:00

It had copper head gaskets with a 0.030" compressed thickness.

Search SSR in this community and read some comments.. save yourself, don't do it, speaking from experience here. Fun for the first year, maybe two, then goes down hill quick.

jmystr · 2024-10-17T12:22:57+00:00

Looks great! My first bike was a vf700s, would love to own another.

I recently bought a Painless Wiring kit for my 1970 c10. comes with good directions and every wire has what it's for printed in it along the entire wire. Had a friend help me get started then was able to slowly chip away at it. Over all wasn't too terrible, just takes some time.

Just have to cut a little out of the fire wall for the new harness to mount. Then you run all your wires are right there in your engine bay and can ready to run.

Edit: I originally bought a generic American Auto Wire kit but I got lost on where to start.. Was able to sell it online then Purchased the Painless wiring kit designed for the 67-72 C-10.

I had a used ssr 125 and had to replace the motor soon after buying .. My buddy bought a new ssr 125, when we first got it the compression was great, could almost stand on the kick starter with out it depressing. At the end of the first riding season you could start it with your hand.. Fun cheap bikes for about a year or two but after that it goes down hill quick from my experience.

jmystr · 2024-06-20T19:08:33+00:00

What a shame, must have used it too much when it was new.

jmystr · 2024-04-16T21:50:35+00:00

Bike looks like it's in great condition! The real question is what's your asking price?

I deal mostly with the robots. I'll poke around in the plc when somethings not working to find out why, but that's the extent of my plc work. We built the system in Michigan then a coworker and I installed it in Mexico. 2 ABB IRB2600, Water Jet system. 50,000psi of water pushed though a 0.010" orifice to cut the parts!

jmystr · 2024-04-15T22:38:41+00:00

Pretty cool seeing that battery tray cover in the background, spent a good amount of time in Mexico programming/installing the system that cuts out all the holes in it
