Removed the Stator last night. and started sorting out some nice bling bolts for when I re-install the cover.

Oh and the tyres are: Journey 20/11-10 4PR P357 Tyres & Sun F 21/7-10 6 Ply A027 Tyres.

Started stripping the engine. Head gasket, exhaust gaskets, Carb gasket and some seals on there way to me.

Piston is black. Has no movement side to side or front to back. runs up and down nice and smooth.

Head looks like its had a bit of piston or sh*t hitting it in the past, Maybe last piston before it had top end done. Have a new head for it anyways. :)

Brought some nice bling bolts for the engine today. :) Not one of the kits you buy. I ended up measuring the engine bolts and buying them from hardware shop.

Been trying to get some parts for my engine and Yamaha shop is a total waste of time. tried 3 different stores and still don't have my parts I want. Time to contact KOR.
 
Just to let you all know I'm still building this. :) Yamaha stores in New Zealand suck big time. I contact about 6 stores to get parts for the engine and only 2 replied with a cost. They both told me 1/2 the parts would have to come from Australia and there would be a 2 week wait. I told the 1 shop to go ahead and get the parts and now its 3 weeks later and still no parts so I contacted the best man in the world KEN and he has shipped the parts to me. ;)

When I get the parts I will be back into working on the blaster.
 
Started cleaning up the FMF Fatty.

Starting with this.
