A small personal diary thing I made a throne wishlist thing just to show my plans for the project bike https://throne.com/roccosilvestri

Sooo, quite a few things have happened between now and the last time you saw Alto, we got a huge discount on racing clutch springs and I've raised the front fender to take up the space between the headlight, also managed to fit the filter without rubbing the fender #motosky

Got back from the mall with the family, I chose to use the motorcycle while they use the family SUV with dad driving I chased after dad on the way home going 110 km/h (68 mph) indicated on the gauges a few times #motosky

Ok so, I found out earlier while testing that going full throttle going 115 km/h on the gauge makes the piston on the carb get stuck wide open, the cable even moves freely if I twist the throttle. Now I added a spacer to stiffen the spring Some scary 3 seconds of my life #motosky

No riding just yet but we finally tuned the carb just right now, had to cut back on the main jet from a 130 to a 108 and the pilot just a few steps back from 42 to a 35 #motosky

The brackets just got delivered just as I was about to sit down to eat lunch, I'd say it fits well (90% anyway) just no adventures yet since 3 weeks because of continuous rain #motosky

We got no choice but to buy a donor crankcase for Azul because the shop that was supposed to fix the crack butchered it by drilling at the wrong angle and size not even remotely close to the original This is an example, of how it should be at an angle, they didn't follow the original #motosky

Well as you can see, sht happens when it comes to repairs and this time the engine has to be overhauled while repairing a crack in the aluminum crankcase, but tomorrow I'm getting the welded case back from the shop and hopefully Azul's engine doesn't throw any more problems #motosky #repair

Tomorrow we're taking Azul to the shop to get the stator cover replaced because the last shop I went to for a timing chain replacement did a shoddy work putting back the stator cover using bolts that aren't designed for it making it crack #motosky

New stator cover between the stator flywheel and the main insides of the crankcase

So Azul decided to reject the spark plug threads and I had to take it to the machine shop to get the spark plug hole oversized earlier And tomorrow I'm bringing yet another piece to the machine shop, his muffler decided to lose more threads and snap a bolt #motosky #honda

It's almost 3AM and I just finished up cutting, wiring, and testing the new mini lights for Azul's headlight unit after trimming the chin more, I gotta admit it took me a few tries to get the wiring correctly #motosky

Absolute mess in the living room by cutting and wiringLights turned off with the headlight unit installed Lights on with the mini lights, the mini lights are directly connected to the low beams After cutting the bottom chin and installing the mini lights

Codename: The Blue Raven #motosky This piece of art was made by a good friend of mine who's a graphic designer Took a few pictures on the DSLR camera and gave it to him to work his magic Super happy he can make one for Azul

Back from vacation and some new parts added #motosky We got a new manifold and an upgrade to the headlight and horn from my cousin's spare parts back in Zambales The new manifold finally fixed the fitment issue, now hopefully it will fix the tuning issues

Azul Saga: Body Panel Headache #motosky With the arrival of the new rear panels, I have come to find out they have inaccurate dimensions like the left is 90% smaller than the original but we pushed through with the help of grinding and elbow grease Mechanic said the front looks like a Kingfisher

Full wave + Battery operated lights #motosky Took Azul for a test drive yesterday, I can actually see at night now with this headlight but I'm going to upgrade it to a projector style with a cutoff

Azul Saga: Electrical Modernization #motosky Got back from the shop after converting the electrical system from a half wave system and stator driven headlight to a full wave system and battery operated lights While at the shop, I saw this Honda Wave 110 S, same engine, different chassis

Azul Saga: Hydraulic Upgrades #motosky With the brake fluid flushed and bled along with a new hydraulic brake switch, let's just hope the switch lasts long In the meantime the braking system is now done and can do a hard stop with a pull of a pinky

Azul Saga: new brake master 90% installed #motosky For now I'm just finalizing the hose and fluid tank reservoir placements We'll have to buy new DOT4 fluid and an aftermarket hydraulic switch since this new one doesn't have any

Newly unboxed brake master setAll new Nissin brake master, needs fluid and hydraulic switchRefreshed caliper with the knockoff Earl's braided line Clutch lever, might do a clutch conversion kit in the future to use this

Faulty Refund #motosky It seems that the brake master I bought was a dud, the bracket for the lever snapped off and the seal was leaking, so we got it packed and returned while we wait for the refund, in the meantime we'll be using Tesco's braking system until we have a new brake master bought

Azul Saga: Almost complete (and a little shop promotion) #motosky Went to our relative's shop to fit the new braking system for Azul since he's nearing completion, there's only a few small details left to put in
