SOHC Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 I got a Suzuki TM folding MX Kickstarter, this is needed to clear the expansion chamber and also the TS dose not fold away at all just the top peddle part. I also got the needle roller bearing for the shift drum, only 2 bearings had to be genuine Suzuki in the motor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raizer Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Cold there? I'm finding with vht high temp and CRC satin black it they both come out glossy and take forever to dry on cold and humid days. Warm dry days they are mint and matt/satin like normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heated the parts so the paint dried very fast and I baked it a bit once it was on, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 The kickstarter lever is from a TM 400 and dose not clear the clutch cover fuck it, someone sed DR400 1980 to 84 lever will fit but it dose not have the pinch bolt on the spline. My engine has the early big spline shaft otherwise I could shove on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
