Follow me on my project as I purchase a Yamaha XS650, get it running and registered and then chop it into what hopefully is a sweet scoot that I can get out on and tear up the roads.

Getting back into it

The last month and a bit have been hectic with the amount of work and things to check out on weekends, I have been neglecting to work on the chop.

Anyway, I had a few minutes spare today after checking out the Mudgeeraba Swap Meet and I got to work cleaning up the caliper pistons and the bores from the surface rust.

There is a bit of pitting on the pistons and I don't know if I should re-use them or not? I will end up replacing them later on, but do I want to bother doing it now and wait for new pistons from the states or should I put them back in with the new seal kit?

Let me know what you think.

More work should be coming over the next few weeks.
