DIY Beginner Upgrades Cams & Pistons - Lives To Tell The Tale

[Neville Lush]

I am not sure where all this humour was in your emails to me . You are a literary giant. BTW I have mentioned this here before, and if anyone asks again. Yamaha have a number of models with 25mm valve shims and they are easy to get and cheap. I am super pleased you overcame the major hurdle of most folk stateside and got a person who could tune your bike well. I am also glad to see you were wearing covid -19 gloves so as not to get germs from the conrods. Also got to see what you look like in the little video etc, just as well you cannot see me. Cheers

Neville if I read his parts sheet in the beginning of this thread correctly he also changed his rod and main bearings. Is it necessary to change the rod and main bearings ? Of course inspection is needed.

Conrod big ends and bolts for sure.

Kevin- yes, they were. I have the larger diameter CES headers and tail pipe, btw. They offer two sizes. ~ Blake

Thanks for taking the time to write this, just what we need during the lockdown.............makes me want to get out to the garage and rip into the Rocket!

This might be one of the best threads I've found on this forum. It was like reading a good book and getting nervous as the plot unfolded. You really got me thinking about a project like this. Great job!

Considered possibility that this bike may never run again

Particularly liked this line.............how many of us have had this feeling

2011 Roadster Lush Cams & Piston Install

(Nice 'piece' of work ! )

● "Remove oil pipes from lower crankcase. " :

Do you recall if the small oilpipe is not touching the lower crankase cause my Roadster does so and second, the small oilring of the oilpipe is not the same as the triumph partslist stock is mentioning (T3600104) Maybe you did also notice that.
