Hi guys, Paul here again. This is the second episode of Inline Performance Magazine’s Ninja Restore. In our last episode, we fixed the left side cover of the motorcycle’s engine where we found a broken pulsing coil.

In this episode, we fix the right side of the engine where the clutch cover is located. The cable holder had snapped off and a large hole was ground through the cover.

After removing the clutch side cover, I proceeded to give the clutch and the gears behind it, a thorough inspection.

Luck was with us in this episode, as the clutch cable, the clutch plates, and the rest of the engine’s internals avoided sustaining any damage.

It was a quick task reassembling the clutch cover and cable, but care needs to be taken to avoid scratching the cover on the rear brake pedal.

Installing a new oil filter and refilling the engine with oil and the radiator with coolant are the last few details that need to be completed on the engine. The levels will have to be rechecked after starting the engine, and the radiator will need to have the air purged.

This is the end of the second episode of Ninja Restore, come back to watch the next episode when the right handle and controls get fixed. The motorcycle will then be reassembled and taken for a ride.

Hello, it’s Paul, and I am going to show you our newest project, Ninja Restore.

After a crash or accident insurance claims will typically give you some money to have your motorcycle repaired at a shop. While it is usually best to have your major repairs done by a qualified professional, you can save money on labor cost by doing minor repairs yourself. You could then apply these savings towards upgraded parts, or new replacement safety gear.

In this debut episode of Ninja Restore, I will be fixing the left side of the engine where damage to the stator cover has damaged the pulsing coil inside. To remove the cover, I first had to remove the fairings, and drain the radiator. I took time beforehand to remove the gas tank and emissions box. I also drained the oil.

My first step in this video is disconnecting the cables from the wiring harness on the right side of the motorcycle. Next, I removed the bolts holding the chain cover and disconnected the radiator hoses.

It was then and easy task removing the cover. After removing the pulsing and generator coils, I installed them in a new cover. Putting everything back on the motorcycle was as simple as the reverse of removal.

Pitfalls abound if you did not take careful notes during removal. Several of the bolts hold clips to secure the cables. Other bolts need to be tightened before or after reconnecting the radiator hose.

That marks the end of this episode of Ninja Restore, future episodes will tackle the right side of the motorcycle, and then handlebars as well as the first ride, so check back often.

Hi guys! Paul here today with a nifty new modification on the Ducati Hypermotard. The good folks over at Weiser-Motorrad sent us a pair of their ultra bright ORANGE LED turn signal upgrades to replace the original bulb and reflector assembly.

These LED inserts not only enhance the look of your bike, but also give a brighter, safer and more noticeable light in all weather conditions.

The inserts are sold as a pair and can be installed on either the front or rear of your bike (please check their website here for the compatibility list). If you wish to install the units on both front and rear, please purchase two packets.

This kit is simple and easy to fit in minutes with no need for any modification to the existing wiring or housing. The existing molding remains on your bike and the LED unit replaces the inner chrome housing and bulb.

Check it out!

At $59.99, there really is nothing to stop you from upgrading the look of your stock turn signals. So head on over to Weiser-Motorrad and get yours today. They have applications for nearly all the motorcycles out there!

Hi guys! Paul here again. Today, as promised, we are finally giving you a video sound clip of our full system exhaust from Remus without the street legal baffles.

With the baffles removed, the sound was pleasantly deeper but the bike seemed to lose a bit on the low end. We are going to ride it a few more miles before making the decision to connect a Tuneboy or Power Commander. However, I am thinking we are going to have to, due to the fact that it is a full system we installed, not just a slip on.

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out Triumph Boards for more information.

Hi guys! Paul here again. Today, we planned on finally giving you a video sound clip of our full system exhaust from Remus. I know we tried it before but never got around to finishing it. We wanted to give you a comparison between the sound of them with the baffles on and without. Check out the video to see what happened.

Yeah, sorry about that. We promise we will get to it as soon as the weather lightens up again. We will get the baffles off damn it!

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out Triumph Boards for more information.
