Roaring Roadking

Finally the Yezdi Roadking CDI model bike has got its original beat. The bike has been transferred to Chennai from Tiruvannmalai after failing to get a lathe in my hometown to machine down the bike's cylinder. In spite of my efforts in finding all the required parts I couldnt rebore it in my hometown.This resulted me to ask my mechanic to drive down the bike to my home in chennai and do all the work in here. Oh yeah complete 2 days of work in chennai let the bike to be pucca.As usual our last minute was in the dark and the mechanic stayed at my house to complete the required work.
Here is the completed bike's picture. The bike got few cosmtics such as seat plate, form, foot rests and lighting set right. The major parts was worked out on the engine.

Operation Yezdi Roadking

The Roadking which was posted for sale has been withdrawn from deal and undergoing major service including engine work.
This bike was converted to run on duel fuel (Petrol and Kerosene) by the previous owner, so they have partitioned the older tank internally to contain both the fuels. The partitioned tank now removed from the bike and replaced with a original tank.
As a attempt to correct the slapping noise in the bike's cylinders, the engine has been dismantled and getting serviced.

The initial investigations proved the bike requires change of the cylinder as it is already running on 1mm size. Hence no further reboring is possible. Otherwise the complete engine parts have been sourced and crank has been reset by a professional lathe workshop.
I'm also looking out for a Roadking seat plate as the current one in the bike seems to be bit damaged.

Submerged JAWA

It was how the last flood in chennai affected my JAWA. Luckily nothing went wrong in the bike after the water drained.
I took the bike and washed it, opened the clutch case and drained 2 liter of water and atleast half liter from the cylinder.

The magnetto side is no exception, 1 liter of water to minimum measurement. I had to clean both the side of the engine with force water and sprayed excessive amount of petrol on it. Not to forgot I also used the hair dryer to dry the water before applying the petrol.

Removal of exhaust pipes showed little more water from the bike and cleaned it too. After inputting fresh transmission lubricant oil I also cleaned the carburetor and air filter. Thats it with hundreds of kicks with fresh petrol on the tank allowed the bike to start and the rest is known story as the bike runs smoother than before ;-)

My old bike, never restored but still with original paint and drives well. Pictures of this bike for your eyes only.
This is also from the JAWA line production and called Yezdi D250 Classic.
I was keeping this bike in a concrete room for more than 3 years now and it has seen the sun yesterday after a long hibernation.
