While it's been nice here is Seattle, I wanted to check everything over getting ready for spring. With almost 7k (I know not enough, but travel for work prevents more milage) on the clock.
Here are some pics of my teardown.

Thanks for the pics Doraemon, clearly demonstrates why these machines are the price they are.
Outstanding engineering and construction.
 
Taking the body work off is a good thing to do, once in a while. You can find the start of problems before they get real bad, such as leaks, chaffed wires and hoses, and loose bolts, etc..

right! I used the airgun to blow out all dust and dead bugs that made it past the radiator. I am using a toothbrush to clean the bugs from the radiator as well.

I also replaced my variator sliders with Dr. Pulley ones. it requires a small sanding of them to fit without binding. I used emery cloth wrapped around a straight file. It still barely sticks at the bottom but I think the weights will over some that over time and wear in.

I also blew out the variator/clutch area and had a lot of dust come out. the belt looks great and I can tell the polini variator allows the belt to go further up the clutch side, before there was a 1/4 inch unworn area before with stock variator.

We will expect you to polish the frame ,also!!!
 
great pics, i have seen a couple stripped down further but would'nt like to publish those :rolleyes: it's nice to see just how clean your scoot is underneath, i am OCD with mine but our climate and the use of rocksalt in this country just shows how we get bummed with corrosion issues.
do you protect your engine cases with any products?

The left side has a steel cover with rubber filled. Both sides have the fairung mounts and plastics for good protection.

Nope, bought a spare engine from insurance fire sale company. LQK or LKQ on ebay. Spark plug coils to rear brake rotor. They couldnt figure out how to seperate the srive line

All for 500 shipped.
