Tessie is finally being put back togther.
Tomorrow will get the new voltage regulator installed.
I have to say the valve adjust is quite a bit of work.
New plugs since the motor was rotated they did look good for 10,000 miles.Fresh cleaning of the kn,Ride it moto levers and grips.
Hopefully Barker calls and i meet up with him for my packing.
Few pics

yes it is the upgrade vr I bought i need to get the bike the rest the way togther and then do it.
Either tonigh or tomorrow i will have info for you all
 
So whats the deal with the valve adjust? Were you having problems or is it a mileage related maintenance procedure?
 
Milage related road 10,000 and the rotax uses followers and lash caps. i think the book actully calls for 13,000 but i wanted to do when i couldn't ride.(ps the follower locks are pictured wrong in the 09 manual for the intake)
All 4 intakes where tight and it would been easier if i had a full selection of shims.I honed mine since i couldn't get any with in a week

Tonights progress report.
Pipe repacked cleaned and installed.
Front fairing ,pod covers,mirrors,grips installed.
Bike fired and is charging.
Tomorrow i am going to try and match up a connector at napa for the VR
 
RT is the new regulator the roadstercycle one you where talking about in your other thread? Did you send the stator out to be redone too? These 2 mods I am very interested in!
 
Yes I got the stator from road cycle. I want to do it one step at a time.
I will do the regulator today.
I bought it with just the connector ends using the recall harness for stator connector.
After I get that done I will do a step by step pulling the stator.
Then send it to custom rewind.

I haven't had a chance to get it in yet and it's 30 degrees so no real test for another week.
I think I have everything to do it tonight.
Solider is a must on the connection.
I will get some photos as I do it. After I get it fired and it charges I am pulling the stator.
If it shows any signs of over heat I am sending it for a rewind
