I gotta do something about the rust i see in the fuel tank
Just curiously, how much was the air box top? Couldn't get one from a forum member?

Started the little "Ninjette" up, runs ok, much quieter that before pulling the engine out.
Job started as a cam chain and guides replacement, I had allocated three days for it. As time went on, I started looking to replace more parts, simply because I would have the engine open. This turned sour when I found the pistons were .50mm oversize, meaning the standard pistons and rings I bought before starting the job were of no use. Ordered new O/S pistons but three weeks later they are not looking like turning up any time soon. Back to plan A, new cam chain, guides and transmission bearings. All good, I hope. haven't ridden it yet, maybe tomorrow if I get a chance.
