The 100k km TTR Rebuild

Cubber · Super Guru

Good luck, Joel.

You've given yourself a challenge now.

I think Scott may be a tad jealous with the final outcome, time will tell. confuse

I'm looking forward to your reports and pictures. biggrin

Good luck with the rebuild V8R.

Wonder what the highest km TTR is on this forum? This one would have to be up there wouldn't it?

scott · Member

Yes, very jealous ;)

BTW, the rear wheel bearing was done on the last service (about 500km ago). Also the cylinder (and every other opening/wire I could find) was taped up hastily over the layers of road grime, so if you don't want the winter dew getting in there you might want to do something with that ;)

so, today was the day i finally got around to trucking Big K home from my bros place, after having to clear room in 3 sheds to be able to work on her. ive commenced by dropping the engine out of the frame (lol, that took over an hr, never acrtually pulled a ttr one out b4 :) ), in preparation for a wash and tub tomorrow. while scott has done a sweet job looking after her (you wouldnt think the frame is just under 100k old!), the road grime does build up over the years, so a power wash and scrub it will be tomorrow and a check over of the engine to figure a plan of attack.
Pics as requested..

TTRfan · Super Guru

It certainly scrubbed up well!

AGman · Veteran Member

Nice work. This bike will come up nice...

WillsTTR · Veteran Member

Certainly doesn't look like a 100K machine

AGman · Veteran Member

Time to start looking around for a lower Km speedo

so, a few more pics..

bore piston and general engine shot..

the friggen sprocket nut had me screwed for a while.. jammed up the sprocket with all manner of thing and hit it with a rattle run multiple times.. eventually it took me to fit the engine back to the frame, thread up the chain and jam the back wheel with a 1/2inch extension thru a rear sprocket hole and the frame. that plus a 6ft breaker and a decent amount of my 120kg, and the nut cracked.. wooah, thats the tightest one ive come acrosss yet!

the clutch side is empty so, shes ready to split!
