I think Dave is right...
the KTM must be red.
I'll do it cheap.

I'm sure I would. To spite you I'd just crate the whole bike up as is and ship it to you.
Then, to spite me in return, you'd probably just wheel it into the driveway and hose the whole thing red, tires and all, and send it right back.
Sound plausible to you?

Tonight progress
Put wheels back together and mount up some tires.
Viola!
Best way to pull the clutch. Gun the hub nut off and pull out the whole assembly in one shot. This clutch is probably ok (I have a spare from the last engine) but I wanted to paint the side cover and needed to get at the primary gear.
With the side cover off you can see my target on the left.
Best way to pull the primary is thread on two clutch basket bolts, grab hold and pull it off.
My primary from the last motor. I lightened it up
This engine obviously spent time outside. The cam pulleys had surface rust as did the cam belt rollers. I moved all that running gear over from the last engine. These pulleys are also adjustable (and not rusty)
For fun here's a shot of the flywheel and starter sprag I lightened up. Is that thing really a sprag or am I just making stuff up?
Anyhow...
The original flywheel for comparison purposes.
Side covers and clutch cover drying to perfection.
That's all for today
Stay tuned...
Same ML time..

Heading back out there now. My steering head bearing came in. My goal toningt is to get the side covers back on, cam belts and valve check.
If that goes well I'll try to get the forks and swing arm back on but that might be pushing it.

Tonight's progress
I didn't get done nearly what I wanted to because when I checked the valve clearances they were waaaay off. I might as well have been using a Popsicle stick to check them.
Not wanting to buy new shims I decided to take all the shims out of the old engine. I know those clearances were spot on. I got the vertical head all done and ran out of steam.
So I started with all the clutch bits. Step one - put side cover back on.
Lightened clutch basket.
Pressure plate installed...
Plenty of pics of valve adjustments on the net so I skipped those. Here's a shot of the valve covers though
And a pic of the installed left side cover...
Stay tuned...
More to come tomorrow.
