Hi All.
Just about to start my winter project of trying to save my '90 1000exup. It has been sitting in an unloved state at the back of a various garages and sheds for the last 12+ years so now I have some space I thought it's best that I do something with it ...... there is lots of bits missing unfortunately (and the last thing i rebuilt was an Rd50) so please expect lots of dumb questions from me ,and lots of 'wanted' posts.
I will post some pics soon
Ta

Welcome

There's loads of info on site including the tech section on the main site but always someone about to assist too

Good luck with the rebuild. Look forward to seeing some pictures

Love a project thread - great that you will be keeping a camera handy - helps when trying to answer questions as well

Welcome in Kiwi and there's no such thing as a dumb question, lets call it a challenge.

Welcome in Kiwi.
RD50 - now you don't see too many of them now (and yes I'm old enough to remember them!)

Well got the motor out and now its on the bench,ready for some serious cleaning to happen !!!
next part of the plan is to sort the frame /swinging arm, then the front end , then the rear subframe and rear side panels etc, then more tlc on the motor and try and put it all back together..

would you consider vapour blasting (posh steam cleaning) or are you getting stuck in with Gunk and tooth brushes?

Gunk and toothbrushes at the moment

Well there is not much more that I can take off this now

Guess i should start cleaning things and work how it all goes back together.

It does help if you take plenty of photos when you take bits off as a reference. If you get stuck there's plenty of folk on here willing to help.
