Last nights progress:
As I stated before the bars that it came with are too low to have good egos for the rider, these design these bikes with high and narrow bars. I wanted to just get a set of OEM bars but they don't make them anymore and from what I've read they bend easy. I was able to find this set of pro taper bars that have the correct bend and will be much stronger that what it came with.
Got the throttle tube mounted up:
When to install the brake perch only to realize its a slide on design, so off it came and then installed the brake perch and then the throttle. Adjusted the front brake. Also I swapped the pro taper bar pad cover for a Yamaha one.
Now that I have the bike off the table I remembered I wanted to check compression.
117 PSI is on the low side for a PW80 from what I've read but should still run. Will probably put a piston in it over the winter.
I thought I would take a picture to show the parts I've been waiting on for the throttle cable assembly.
There is a little plastic yoke that connects the cable and then a cap that seals up the whole thing. That's what I've been waiting on. I had to order them from the US(I'm in Canada) and they were a special order from Yamaha with a wait, then UPS lost the package and we had to start the whole process over again. Looks like the second set has just started its journey north, fingers crossed they actually make it to me.
Next up is this strap. It mounts right behind the seat. I had figured this was added by someone but after some research this was actually a OEM thing from Yamaha. It's very useful for lifting the bike into the truck so I decided to make a new one from a random strap that was probably from a kids bag or something.
