the new motorcycle all encompassing picture list 8/6/2011: last week i replaced the butterfly shaft seals on the carb. the thinking behind it goes that after thirty+ years they harden and after who knows how many cleanings the seals have undoubtedly been breaking down due to exposure to the wonderful effects of carb cleaner. <g> since i had it off i also replaced these pesky little springs and balls so the choke would stay open and i wouldn't have to hold it! shaft and seals   easy to lose!   where they go (another) 6/27/2011: bought a piston stop and then after even more searching (and the failed attempt) found out how to get the ceramic out of the spark plug. it's easy, when you know how... <g> i then used a 3/8-16 to tap the plug and it worked! (i can't find the link, but i swear i read it on yamaha triples forum...) before! cut through the crimped piece, then whacked out the plug now i can tap them (there's the one i bought too) tapped and done! 3/21/2011: a few "little" projects that have finally come together! what do they entail? cleaning the starter and replacing the brushes, upgrading the headlight from the sealed type to the H4 (not pictured), swapping the metal tube around the tumbler, changing the dash/console and taking out some of the dead/dying/not so good light electronics. oh! also cleaned the main grounding bolt, but don't know if there is a picture of that... the projects... it's pretty dirty... it broke! shiny and clean! a different view just a few scratches... the new look tumbler springs can fly! new console view (and straight on). the RLU removal jumper (first one). headlight switch (see relay bypass). 9/10/2010: stripping the front fork stud and then using a die to rethread stipped compare the two rethreaded! compare again (or side by side) retightened with two washers 8/20/2010: "custom" fuel lines... a 90 degree visu-filter they're on! the pair 3/17/2010: the temporary "gas tank" to be... the temp gas tank inside/outside with filter screen! 3/2/2010: the carburetor (still on the bike though)... the right... petcock (and another pic) bad pics the fuel T (left) the model number...   the left... from behind... the fuel T (right) and w/a zoom the vacuum lines a name... petcock & fuel line fuel lines & idle screw <--- 2F3 00 (top) 882 (bottom)    - MIK II B34 (type CV)    - MIK I vs MIK II <--- from the back forward:    - spark plug    - vacuum line    - throttle cable    - vacuum line 3/2/2010: repositioning of the handlebars... the way it came repositioned a bit... and they pointed forward! it had been spray painted (but i like flat black) cleaned up reattached... and the original mirrors 11/9/2009: cleaning the rust off of the centerstand... front, orig rear, orig front 1 rear 1 the bucket front 2 rear 2 bottom 2 front 3 rear 3 top 3 bottom 4 repainted... bottom front rear top beginning, middle and end... 11/9/2009: cleaning rust, round I... rusty... rusty... rusty... clean! clean! clean! 11/1/2009: [grumble, grumble...] updated 11/15/2009... it's stripped...   not flush, no wonder it stripped... the screw is short much better 10/25/2009: [...] a larger pic front tire, right throttle/brake engine, left engine, left engine, right rear tire, cam rear tire, cam exhaust/rear brake, right
