Hey all, allready half year i'am owner of my xrv, in a past 4-6weeks i had few issues, leaking carbs, leaking petcock, leaking front forks, rear bearings, front bearings etc etc
For now i have to replace stearing bearings

Hi all, summer time comes to an end, my bike already asking for maintenance and other work on it..
firstly I have to solve carb issues, bike is popping on idle
Oil burning is in second place, but it burns alot
Yesterday i lost my front wheel bearing, on a way to work. Few weeks ago rear wheel bearings stuck.

so,I will try to collect all the parts i need, in a few weeks

if any one of you have for sale used boano carbon/kevlar parts, headlights with bracket, please, let me know

Hi all,
after fighting myself, few weeks ago, i decide to go with engine work. But will also include pictures from summer build.
all started from huge amount of oil burning and compression test.
allready ordered oversized pistons for the engine. Cilinders and heads sent for inspection.
And my biggest hope to make it run before season comes..

Sorry, have to edit my post on Pc , something going wrong on my phone

 

[Andrius7]

Done frame powder coating, all bearings used new, oem, most of the bolts have been replaced by oem , swing arm bearings new, oem. Made new headlight mounting to fit boano front fairing. Carbon/kevlar composite dashboard from boano.
Fully rebuilded front forks. Engine covers painted just to look fresh. Replaced rear light, in white color. Fully repainted fairings, just the color by my mistake was selected wrong
got carbon fibre frame protectors

 

[Andrius7]

Custom made seat, again, did the mistake. Wrong color, wrong shape have to get new seat.
carbs have been cleaned, few parts replaced. New radiators, silicone houses, but i don’t like it. Need to get oem ones. Radiator guards from boano, still needs to be fitted.

 

[Andrius7]

I have few pictures from the fairing painting too

 

[Andrius7]

Carbon fibre frame guards

Last picture few weeks before disassembly again for engine work

We made short run, of few laps around the house with my son.

and for now, I’m going through the process of trying to figure out my engine

Still have to wait for a week or two to get my new pistons, I need to change valves too. Valve guides looks like new, so, will leave them as is.

i will not get to the crankshaft, just because its lightened, I can’t get new oem bearings for it.

Glad you decided to rebuild engine, iI would advise using oem cylinder base gaskets and cylinder head gaskets. Some of the copy ones don't have the oil hole to lubricate the cam. Good work enjoying seeing the work you have done and good luck.

Thank you, somehow I’m not feeling happy with my build.

but about the gaskets, already have them in my shed

 

[een705]

I rebuilt one a few years ago and wasnt happy till it fired up, but I was getting help from a friend on the forum. Its not the easiest job especially having to fabricate as well.

lets hope for the best
