Honda 600RR rebuild - Day 6

I did a lot of work. I printed out full schematics for the bike and finally got a hold of the 600rr 2003 repair manual thanks to people off this site. That definitely helped me out. I also got a good deal on a new sub frame so I put the new one on.

I also added the radiator and piping. Had to cut some new piping as the old pipes were rashed and broken. Good thing I have some spare pipes around from other projects.

Damn hooligans, they stabbed my bike. lol

Honda 600RR rebuild - Day 5

I added the subframe and the clip-ons and attempted the wiring, but the wiring proved to be the biggest hurdle since I'm mixing years and not all the connectors are the same. I called up the Honda dealership and the on-hand mechanic said that the 04 and 05 wiring harness should be the same, but suggested to use the 05 wiring and ECM on the 05 engine.

But this was the same weekend of when Apex, NC (where I live) had a huge chemical and I had to be evacuated as I lived a mile away from the chemical storage plant... I was actually in the garage at 2 in the morning on friday when the cops showed up. I wasn't allowed to return until the following sunday.

Honda 600RR rebuild - Day 4

So after I started to get better from surgery, forgot the whole ordeal, and a new vision on life in general, I began work on the RR once more.

Finally bolted the engine correctly and added the 05 wiring harness on, as well as the rims. At the same time, I also fixed my F2, a friends 650sv, and another friend's old Yamaha 600. Actually fixing my friend's bike was the motivation to restart my RR project again.
