Another T595 Project In The Mix.

Just taken ownership of another T595. Bought on eBay for a ridiculously cheap price. Non runner, but I have the bits on mine to try the obvious usual suspects. Not run since purchased in 2018, but it’s all there. Tank looks full of bubbles, usual fare, generally clean and presentable.

 

So, put a battery on this and even with 6yo fuel it fired right up. Slight popping, black smoke on a hard throttle, bit rich on idle suggests remap for HL can.
Took off the tank, removed IACV, replaced hoses with silicone then refitted. Airbox had a big crack around it, so repaired with glue and plastic welding but ideally could do with another airbox.

 

Got the bodywork off, tank badly affected by ethanol, cracked top fairing and small hole in bellypan so currently repairing them before my mate paints them.

 

Cheers buddy.
Got a bit more done tonight. Still not there but closer to paint.

 

Back on it, finished the upper fairing, ready for paint, bellypan almost there and bubbled tank stripped.
I found the paint where it bubbles is quite fragile, and cracks easily, obviously the ethanol affects the paint. I found if I used a hot air gun I could peel it off in sheets. I’ll probably get it lined then repaint it. Already have the decals.

 

Finished the nose cone and the tank is almost there, then I decided to have a look at the cracked seat cowl. I was told by the PO that his lad dropped something in it but when I dropped it down it was cracked along its length and had had a poor fibreglass repair.
I ground out the filler, stitched it inside and out with the plastic welder then filled it with Plast-X.

 

Yeah, I did mate, was one of the long termers in there supporting the place
In the end hardly anyone had a Trumpet

 

Haha, nice one fella.
Not sure if you heard, Tappity Tim passed away last year. Bit sad he was only in his 40’s.

Still speak to Paul the Bastard, TQ (Anne), Wayne (Red Monkey), Super Spinney Lord Stu and Nige (SirTT) occasionally.

@Relay is on here, @Godders (Baldbloke) and Stevethegoolie are also on here and others I might have forgotten.

 

I now have the bodywork pretty much ready for paint and the bike will run once the tank is refitted.
Is anyone interested in this to finish it off as when I get the bits painted it’ll owe me another few hundred quid. New fork seals and oil here, full compliment of Dzus fasteners, looking for £1000 or very near offer. There is a Cat D marker on this from 2005 and I would say the damage was what I have repaired but it was mot’d and on the road till 2017 but the price is keen enough to reflect that. I would sort the forks but don’t want to contaminate the bodywork with oils and greases and likewise regarding the fuel pump.
My email is [email protected] if anyone is interested. I can send a video if it starting and running as the tank is now removed. I could put the pump back in and tank back on but that’s just more work when it needs left off for painting.

 

Well, the £1000 offer is off the table, just got my paintwork done. Looking sweet. Just need to reassemble the bodywork then sort the brakes and forks before it gets mot’d

 

Well, I got the old girl back together this week and just need to mot it.
I found a headlight fault (LH headlight not lit up) which I traced to the Type B relay being installed so I fitted a couple of Type A ones. That was an easy fix. I connected TuneECU to it and she seems to be ok except for the odd error code P1610 MIL short to ground.which when it’s cleared doesn’t come back immediately. An incorrect relay throws an open circuit code on the fan even though it runs, the Type B relay cures that. I have the fan set at 100 degrees, not sure if I should increase that. What do most ppl run?
The map number is 9859 which is for a low level TORS exhaust with rear wheel speed sensor so I’ve left that alone.

 

Cheers Joe

 

Well, she passed her first MOT since 2017 today. She’s only done 636miles since 2013
