A small personal diary thing

I made a throne wishlist thing just to show my plans for the project bike

Parts installed with a caveat #motosky

So I got the valve springs and new camshaft installed on the cylinder head, now after starting it and adjusting the valve clearance, Tesco now identifies as a rolling tambourine.

Now I ask you guys how to fix this caveat of his!

We have the parts but not the time #motosky

Tomorrow we will be going out of town which means I can't put the parts in just yet, which also includes taking off the head so I can put the valve springs on and the new stage 2 camshaft (hopefully the 6.8mm fits)

Waiting for parts #motosky

So, while we're waiting for parts, I should probably tell what we'll be getting

Firstly, a seat cover to replace the one with a hole, upgraded valve springs, stage 2 camshaft for more power, new battery, and a starter switch

The last two I'm buying at a shop near me

More hodgepodge #motosky

Look who's got Azul's old panels onnn

The front is held on by those thin universal metal brackets you can bend to shape

We survived #motosky

The storm has passed and now here's a few pics of Tesco after riding around scouting the area for damages

He *might* be getting registered sooner or later

Still standing #motosky

The power went out earlier tonight during Typhoon Uwan (Fung-Wong) everything went dark and windy

Took a photo of Tesco and Azul hunkered down together in the corner in the garage before the rain and wind picked up

Steel epoxy on an exhaust, what could go wrong #motosky

New parts #motosky

Tomorrow if I feel like it or if I have enough time, I will be installing new parts on Tesco

New parts incoming soon too

I've found an old video of Azul with the aftermarket pipe in my archive #motosky

More adjustments #motosky

I made a few more adjustments here and there including putting the plate number to the back as a mudguard, I've also put grease in the bearings on the steering since it was clunky

Tesco's upgrade #motosky

Tesco finally got the half shifter I've been waiting for nearly a week, I took it yesterday to a neighbor to cut and weld the rear brake rod to length but it's still useless without the bracing

I also need to find a way to have the shifter not hurt my foot trying to shift

Next Phase? #motosky

I recently found the old body panels while digging through storage, I've also managed to cut the bottom part of the tank storage to make it sit lower in the bike

Tomorrow morning I'm venturing 4 hours to my dorm to retrieve my missing parcel for Tesco

Since I have a whole week to burn, I went out to wait for the sunset #motosky

I've also added a few bits here and there including the scrap aluminum as a rear fender, the license plate mounted to the side of the bike, and the original double stand so I can actually service the bike properly #motosky

Certified Dummy #motosky

So I found out what was causing my tail light issues and I feel so dumb about it

Apparently I checked relays and wires but not the bulb itself, now that I've changed it it's working as intended now

Morning Ride #motosky

Went through a little trouble in the river crossing
October 26, 2025 at 1:06 AM
I'm stumped #motosky

I've done everything I can except tear into the wiring harness to find out why my tail light isn't working, I might just try and swap out the relays from the other motorcycle since they're the same model
October 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Big change #motosky

So I've purchased the half shifter and the shifter bracket for the project bike which will definitely change how the bike feels

I've also wanted to ask for a name for the motorcycle since I've just been calling it "the bigger motorcycle"
October 21, 2025 at 6:13 AM
So, I made a wish list thing on my bio for anyone curious what my plan is for the project bike and if anyone wants to, they can help out. And for the past few days of diagnosing, I have concluded the problem with my electrical issues was my starter relay. #motosky

New parts installed, but also a new problem #motosky

A few hours ago after installing most of the new parts and taking it out, one of the relays started to buzz and the brake lights weren't functioning, but if I did brake the buzz goes away but still no lights

On another note, here's a few pictures I took after taking it for a quick drive up the mountain road #motosky

The tail light has been rewired after finding out the socket and wires were very faulty, now here's a vid of it running with the light on

Genius yet Cursed #motosky

So I was trying to retrofit a different tail light when I found out the electrical for it was faulty

So with a bit of quick thinking and being a genius the other way, I managed to put a bike light in the tail light housing
