Stripping a superbike

[MR TURBO]

Hey guys anybody ever stripped a superbike??? Down to the bare frame is this a hard job??

Do you mean the Wires aswell?

I have stripped a few Scooters and a 125Aprillia RS (Not a superbike but same chassis) The hardest bit i found was removing all the wires as they are often placed in the Chassis...

The Wings are easy just unclip/bult/screw etc.

Depending on what bike the engine etc shouldnt give you much trouble, beware when removing ECU's or putting them back not to slip and put a scred driver through that or the wiring loom.

It's fairly easy just remember to label all the electrical connections and also label each end of the loom, remove bodywork, tank and seat unit first then start from the back as it will make access easier as you work through it, remove engine next then rear wheel/suspension and finally front forks leaving wheel attached. I found that to be the easiest way for me

I stripped down my VFR 400 afew years ago to give it a tart up / do the valve clearences + other bits....Not totally down to the frame but pretty well stripped

Kris m i had 1 of those yeah there not to hard to strip down obviously the engine and wiring will be the hardest knowing which way it all routes around the frame
