I definitely have too many projects going on. I tend to do that all too often. Right now I'm waay overbooked. Trying to wrap things up for the riding season. This bike is one that needs wrapped up for sure. Hoping to get a couple sold off, a couple more ready to ride, or...store or sell maybe. And a couple more that I just want to be ready to ride.
I'm a pretty cool headed guy tho. Don't think I've ever thrown a tool...very far. When I get frustrated, I typically just abandon the job and go on to something else. I'm trying NOT to do that with this bike. It needs to go, and it's clean NOW. So I'll stick with it and see it through, for better or worse. It's a great bike, but it's not getting the love from me anymore. Hopefully it will go to a good owner who will ride it, improve it, and love it.
I thought I had posted info here after I was back into the lower end...a month ago maybe. The trans looked great in there, but I swapped in a different one anyway. The shift fork pins had a lot of wear, I replaced them with new ones and figured that was the likely culprit. Then I reassembled it with a different clutch. I was hoping I had solved it with the new pins. Then the motor sat, waiting as I cleaned up a correct set of hubs, and cleaned a couple years of dust off of everything else. Last weekend is when I was finally able to test the motor again. Then came post number 58..."my silvertag is still giving me fits"
