It was long due so I did a full maintenance on the CBR. This is the list of the repairs and some of the homemade utensils used:
Front Forks: Replace seals, new springs new oil. Tool: PVC pipe as bearing driver, syringe and vinil tubing for oil leveling tool.
Valve check:
Carb cleaning
Carburator sync. Tool: home made $15 carb sync.
Replace oil.
Replace Coolant
New Spark plugs.
New Ram Air filters
This is the material used for the Carb sync.
this is how it looked like at 1500rpm. The fluid id Auto transmission fluid.
This is after sync.
These are the helpers:
I am please to inform that I was able to put the bike back together and that now runs better than ever. The problem is that since I was not able to do all this at once I didn't run the CBR for a long time. I think that I need a new battery. First time i took it out I had to ask a guy on the gas station for a push start. (Scott, stop laughing)
On a side note, and following the Fintstone approach. this is how I changed the tires on the V-strom.
