Very nice, ceramic coating is a good move as well.

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
So after a period of inactivity caused by finishing the blue 1VJ and not having enough space in the garage, I've got this white 1VJ on my home made work bench and have started on it again.
Nice ceramic coated headers or manifold if you prefer.

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
Engine is in the frame and in build
And as always a combination of the Yamaha parts book, Clymer manual and this helps it go together correctly

Although for the anoraks among us he does make a mistake.
You see him put the timing chain guides in before the chain, and he loctites the rear blade mounting screws in, then the video cuts to him putting the timing chain on. You can't do that as the little tang to stop the chain coming off the rear tensioner blade and around the gear stops you doing that. So chain on first then Loctite the rear blade mounting screws.

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
The 3AJ/2KF works manual may be helpful as well, quite similar engine it is :D

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
I've been working on this old girl in conjunction with sorting the carbs on the blue bike.
I'll try and get some photos up to show the progress....maybe too strong a word.

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
So eventually I've got some photos taken and uploaded, it's been that long I'd forgotten which website I'd used for uploading.
So thanks very much to a well respected member on here....
We have a 3AJ airbox on my hybrid.

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
Just so show I have been making progress in other areas.
Engine fully up together and freshly rebuilt carbs, all new internals, genuine wherever possible.
I have already had these carbs on the blue 1VJ to make sure they're set up correctly.

Re: Dan's 1VJ resto mod
The story behind the electrics.
I started with the old loom, got everything working correctly, but every time I went back to it there was a niggle. So I cut back to better less corroded wire, put new terminals on, and still wasn't happy.
So then I looked at rewiring completely for total reliability.
But I wanted to use the M Lock as I didn't want to have to incorporate an ugly standard lock unit on to the MX top yoke.
I wanted clean electrics with nothing extra that may give grief.
I also had an M unit Blue on the shelf that I had bought for a TZR350 4DL project.
I bought the M Button which gives a one wire input to the M unit from the front end switches, again really cleaning everything up.
Started on the set up with the above stuff and I'm really impressed with the connectivity. It has some really flash stuff that I won't go into here but the usability is really good. It's connected to my phone and can be started, located on a map, notified if stolen or fallen over.
