lazy trick

changing all 4 rockerams of harley-davidson xr1000

xr1000 engine is beautiful to look at but it's definitely not the one that you want to put your hands on to. just changing rockerams involves engine removal... or just tilting a little to the left.

a couple of scissor jacks will do the job.

usual suspect or unusual

putting the top ball part of xr1000 push rod into a new rockeram

and put that into another rockerarm that has been in my xr1000 engine. notice the difference there?

the cup where the push rod head sits is clearly wearing out about a millimeter. okay, now we understand that can happen. but did it really happen after i broke the pinion shaft when i was coming out of the fujispeedway last corner, up shifting from 2nd to 3rd at 7,000rpm, and before i stopped the bike about 300m later???

what is that?

finished making the brackets. it will have #39 with yellow background to meet MCFAJ CSSC race regulation.

tv news are never enough to make myself understand what's really happening

since the earthquake, feels like we're living in totally different world. i myself and my life, my family hadn't got any effect from the event but something has changed, though still trouble accepting and understanding what had really happened.
