With the bike now in my possession I called up another good friend of mine and placed an order for all the parts. The following got ordered.
-Honda Type 2 Coolant
-Honda oil and filter
-NGK spark plugs
-Yamaha OEM air filter
-Cable lubricant
-Front and rear Yamaha wheel bearings, seals, and a new rear needle bearing
-White lithium grease
-Dot 4 brake fluid
The following mods were also ordered at the same time
-Pazzo shorty silver levers with black dials
-Hotbodies megaphone exhaust
-Hotbodies front flush mounts
-Competition Werkes integrated rear taillight
Thankfully the bike had some sort of aftermarket fender eliminator that still had the reflectors and factory signals on it. After looking at it a bit closer I decided I could modify it to a full blown eliminator.
For those who don't know Yamaha puts a special bearing called a needle bearing to help prevent any stress that could be put onto the rear bearings. Instead the stresses get applied to the needles in the needle bearing. Very cool idea, an ultra bitch to remove.
I would highly recommend installing a flasher relay. It's $30 and really helps make a bike not look like the owner cheaped out or did some hack job wiring job.
When the parts finally arrived it was time to start chipping off the list of work required. We started by doing the spark plugs, air filter, clutch cable lubrication, oil and filter change, chain clean, lube, tension and sprocket clean then finished the day off with the exhaust install.
