Gotta have that supermoto in at least one pic, huh?

Haha. Yep. It's my room mates.
It'll get torn down before the snow melts too
-
Pics as of 20 minutes ago. It's crusty, but cleaning up alright
Most of the accessories are off

Looks like the Triumph will need to go under the knife as well, unfortunately.

About to go home and tear more crap apart
-
-
Took more stuff off & worked off some of the crud.
And more junk came off
Had a metal water pump impeller. Neat
And a bmw oil filter
And some more pics
Popped off the oil filter housing
Cleaned more junks
That's about it, I still need to get the AC bracket off. But it's blocked
This is why I need four hands. Or. Friends.
Tomorrow I'll take more crap off and post more blurry pics
-
Just going earl mode for now until I pick up an impact and or grow a pair and pop the head off
So far I've just been using a wire brush and some simple green. I'll hit it with some powa toolz eventually
-
I don't want to just keep turning the crank though haha

I would get the flywheel lock pin. You can use it with the stock FW but not the one you're going to buy from me. Or use a screw driver. Or use a 2x4 and wedge it in the crank shaft.
Be sure to get a new bolt as these are strech bolts and only are good for one time only.

Good to know john.
There is no flywheel on the motor currently
-

No sir. Looks like 2x4 and impact will be the way it has to come off

I've taken apart 3 M42s without an impact or anything to lock the crank/flywheel. The hammer/mallet only puts force on the the bolt for a fraction of a second. The inertia of the crank is enough to keep it from turning (much). I'm not saying it's the best way to do it, or even a good way, but it works.
