Today, I received my first motorcycle and I must say I am BEYOND stoked about fixing this thing up!!!
Look and be amazed!!!
Alright so now that I have it, the plan of action is to clean out my garage so I have a place to work on it, and then dig in.
Since it has been sitting so long I will have to strip the engine down to the nuts and bolts most likely, and give this thing a major overhaul...the laundry list includes:
1. Tear the engine down
2. Rebuild and clean the carburetors
3. Replace and/or clean a lot of the cylinder and piston components...ie. rings and bushings.
4. Remove the gas tank, then clean and re seal it.
5. Rebuild and un-gunk the suspension systems
6. Rebuild and clean the clutch.
7. Inspect and rework the brakes, likely gonna have to get another master cylinder. Or replace the tubes and cables plus new fluid/bleed.
8. Either have a key made or replace the ignition cylinder and locks....(I really hope not)
9.Inspect the wiring harness...but that should be in good shape. Also gonna need another battery.
10. Replace the tires as well...they are long dead.
11. Replace all necessary cables wires, and test the light and signal system.
12. Final clean and inspection...removal of all growing algae things and dead hornets nests hahaha
13. Get bike license, slap on a helmet and ride that sucka!!!
And from what I gather the 92 GSXR is a missile on wheels...when I have it rebuilt the engine will have in the neighborhood of 100-120 BHP!!! Plenty of power to thrash around with :)
Okay, so there you have it...once I have the garage cleaned out next weekend and a shop manual in hand I will start in on stripping it down. I'll have a ton of pictures and plenty of status updates with this project so stay tuned!!!!
