Assembly sentimental


Is there such a diagnoses? Can´t help but feeling a little sad while putting the motor together. I have got so use to the interrior of the engine that I´m allready missing the looks of the machine behind the covers. I hope the sound and the revs of the motorcycle will make me forget.


The new piston and cylinder sleeve is shining. It is not likely that the 400cc engine will reach 10:1 compression - as the 500cc will do with this piston. But I hope that it will make a little difference.








Valve mounting. The assembly is done with a custom made tool - to avoid accidents. The dismounting was made a week ago with a simple wood workshop clamp and a short metal tube.
