Today was a good day in the garage. I headed over to New Jersey first thing this morning to pick up The YZF Service Manual from Tony as well as the nice set of Russell Braided Lines and some misc. hardware that I needed. Thanks Tony, I appreciate it! I was back in NY by 9am and jumped right into the garage. Things I accomplished today:
Installed FZ1 Front Brake Calipers
Removed Old Front Sprocket
Installed New 530 Front Sprocket
Installed RK 530 Chain
Chain Guard
Left Rear Body Panel
Sprocket Cover
Rearset and Kickstand
Lower Fairing Bracket
Cleaned Underneath Motor
Installed EXUP Cables At Servo
Removed Old Brake Fluid
Installed Braided Lines
Bled Front Brakes
And now for all the pictures......
A big thank you to Tony for the Manual and Lines. They will both come in handy.
I have to thank Pete for the GenII Brake Calipers. They look sweet with the Silver Discs!
I used the old 532 chain to remove the front sprocket. I laid down some clean rags both top and bottom of the swingarm, ran the old chain around and used a 6" C-clamp to lock the chain to the swingarm. I hit the nut with the impact wrench and it came off instantly.
Next I installed the new sprocket and washer and again used the old chain to secure it in place. A few hits with the impact wrench and the new sprocket was done.
Once finished with that I broke out the new RK 530 X-Ring Chain and ran it around the sprockets. I set up the new Motion Pro Chain Tool for the first time and it worked flawlessly.
New link in place and ready for the plate to be pressed on.
I lined up the tool with the "P" in line with the word "Press"
It's clamped onto the chain with the new plate in place.
It gets torqued down with a 17MM wrench until the rivets come all the way through.
Now you change the bottom block so that the "R" is in line with "Rivet" and insert the "square" die up top. This will sqaure off the rivet to match all the other rivets on the chain.
Now it's just a matter of tightening down on the tool.
New chain installed. On to the next thing!
I installed the new chain guard next. If the previous owner had one of these I wouldn't of had to do all this cleaning.
