Re: '92 Dio SR Build
Ok so i will do the pin test, is the general concensus that thethe clips are in the correct position?
Also is it a good idea to put hondabond on the base gasket?

Re: '92 Dio SR Build
Hondabond and yamabond are more for engine cases. For example, the yz85 does not have a gasket in between the case so you yamabond to seal the cases. Most of the time I just use the base gasket as a dry gasket. I have only had to use sealant a few times on a base gasket. Once was on a yamaha breeze but other than that it is pretty much a dry gasket install. Now I do use copper coat on head gaskets on BBK's for dirt bikes but your head gasket will also go on dry.

Re: '92 Dio SR Build
So customs sent my Hondabond back to america.
ha. ha.
So im waiting on permatex grey before i can seal up the gear case and Intake manifold.
recieved my new front panel today and added a little decal.
that is all the progress for now but im hoping to have her started up for the first time this weekend! eek.
Also, i did the screwdriver test on the pin and put decent pressure and nothing moved so im going ahead bravely.

prematex black is better than grey

Customs can be a b**** at times, they once shipped my honda injector oil back because it was 1 oz too many. <3 customs.

I will use kick start from now on.

Re: '92 Dio SR Build
i think the stock starter just got the power to turn over such a beast.
on the plus side my TTO gauge arrived so i can now monitor temps!
2min heat cycle tonight then 5min cycle tommorow.

Re: '92 Dio SR Build
Meant to ask, is that rear shock you have fitted the one that sits close to the back wheel or did you source another?
Re: '92 Dio SR Build
It is, i will go for my first ride this weekend and check the tyre out to see how bad the rubbing is.
so today i cut the back fender off and reinstalled all the fairings and installed the new TTO gauge.
compared with out she looked when i got her its a world of difference.
very happy with tto gauge and left it on farenheit reading so the forum temps would mean something to me.
here is a video showing the temp rising rate for the 5-10 minute heat cycle.

Re: '92 Dio SR Build
build is going to take a while longer.
it seems the clutch must be super worn and slipping, it takes full throttle just to move at all.
i have checked the slide and its opening perfectly with the throttle.
i also need to source a rear brake spring since i must have lost it.
