That is the M1000SS.  SuperSport rear suspension grafted onto a 2003 M1000 frame.  Today's project is a stock suspension'ed M695 that got a motor transplant and some other cool bits.

stu,
i'm gonna need your help.


i finally got around to putting the engine back together. i didn't realize the valves on the vert head were bent when i was fiddling with it before 


and there's more...let me know when you will have time to deal with my stupidity and i'll tell you what happened.

[Duck-Stew]

PM me some pics and a description of what's going on.  I'm busy today but only in 'spurts'.  My brain can only handle so much wiring work at one time and I use the DMF to break up the wiring.

fine...here's the short version of what i sent him

i bungled it again.

i somehow moved the crank as i was putting the flywheel on and the piston is not TDC when the flywheel is in position. now i cna't get the flywheel off.


however, the bent valve is not my fault. i didn't try to actually start the bike (but i did turn the key and see allt he lights come on. it was a great feelign to know i hooked all the electrics back up properly)
anyone have a 620 head they want to let go really cheap?

[lethe]

Bored....demonstrating 3 units to a commisioning agent, that means I tell him my readings and he goes and verifies the actual conditions while I sit on my hands.

i cna't afford $175 right now. (notice i said cheap)
it needs to be closer to $100 to start with. 

i put the nut on with a torque wrench with a really long handle and used a penny to stop the gears from turning.
the penny was toast afterwards.

You get what you pay for?

[Duck-Stew]

I've crushed pennies because they were too thin...  Nickels work too.

Hey Knight...

When you get the head off, let me know.  I have some 750 valves here that could possibly fit your 620 head but I don't know if they changed the valve diameter or stem length.  Measure up the bent one and let me know....
