I went to see the EV DeLorean in Hiroshima Marina hop.

Great scott!!!

October 21, 2015 it's the day that DeLorean went in the time slip, In the movie Back to the Future.

To celebrate it, the event was held.

Location Marina hop. It shopping mall in Hiroshima.

I went to see the EV DeLorean there.

The EV DeLorean is what was modified the DeLorean to the electric car.

Mr. Fujii becomes ringleader, DeLorean EV activation group has been produced.

Instead of the engine, battery and motor is equipped.

Incidentally DeLorean's rear engine. Front Luggage space.

They started the EV modify before the Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf will be released.

In cooperation with Hiroshima University and venture companies and comrades, and was completed in March 2009.

Their blog is here ↓(writen in japanese)

Since that time, they have to improve this many times.

In this improvement, we have to be able to charge in the hydrogen gas. By mounting the hydrogen engine generator.

The hydrogen engine generator, we have made. We are very happy!

They were modified to enter the generator in the luggage space.

Remove the cover, to make the stay in welding.

It could demo operation. That it was completed in a short period of time will be impres

We also had a hard time to make this generator. So, it is clear to see when the hard processability trace.

The next Toyota Mirai was also on display. I felt that was in the future.

In Japanese , Meaning of mirai is future.

And, ammonia fuel engine is what we are to try at the time of the now in October 2015.

The cylinder can make lighter than for hydrogen

Now, it has been found that can be run if you mixed hydrogen and gasoline. Research is doing as lacking in ammonia separately.

20150920 I went to Lake Biwa Sportsland All Japan Supermoto Championship.

I went to help the Shishido's.
In Lake Biwa Sportsland All Japan Supermoto Championship.

Confluence with Sugimoto big brother.
Race day there quite free time.
"I'm recently riding on SR500," I Tsu said. Then, he taught me a lot of genealogy from the XT500.

I did not know, such as the name of HL500 is.
He knows anything!
Why he can not use that memory to another? I am it is a question.

This huge tool box becomes cot. It is a load capacity 80kg. Convenient.
The day of most of the race is up early. So it will take a nap.

Why Motard are not wearing the tire of the on-road to off-road bike?
That is because there is a dirt section. Asphalt section called tarmac.

Shishido-san, had challenged the fight in motocross, in the city riding bikes.
It seems that he can run that satisfactory, is decent.

Chain caulking SR400

We were caulking the chain of Naoyan'sSR400.
This is what he was riding at the time of high school students.

Big bike is caulking chain.
(Small bike clip-on)

Caulking tool is required, to you caulked the chain.
However, it is not only occasionally used was the most people.
So, you'll borrow it.

And I'm side lend. . .

I went to see the progress of his work in Naoyan's home.
So, with a crimping tool.
Oh! The rear suspension has been fixed!

He assembled already around the rear wheel. With the exception of the chain.
Tire, wheel bearing, sprocket, all new.

When I was a while after arriving, I noticed. Dramatic photos that can be taken if you take in the backlight.

He just bought this building.It has not yet pulling electric power.
So there is no lighting in the room. It is good lighting.
No indoor lighting + backlight is very good. I use this method in the future.

Fix the chain

Caulking of the chain I've done. Therefore, no image.

Mileage is 47,000 km.
You should look for the things this is small when you buy a used motorcycle.
But, his bike mileage is equal to the number of memories.
Still extending from here.

Wow!
The grip's for TZM of my favorite Yamaha genuine!
I was very sympathetic.
Incidentally, part number
47X-26241-00 Left
47X-26242-00 Light

Clutch lever is broken. From the root.

His bike is waiting for the time of resurrection. Be quiet.

SR400 rear tire exchange.

We have replaced the rear tire of Naoyan's SR400.
This bike was once his ride, when in high school.

We will continue to use the valve cap.

This tire has too scuffing. It has reached the cloth.

We were working with me and Naoyan, 2 people.

Uncle are close to each other.

I showed off a finger power.

Oh Jesus.
When fitting the tire, it was allowed to puncture the tube. It is a tragedy.
It's no use crying over spilt milk.

...
After a few tens of seconds of silence,

We remove the tire, it confirmed the tube.
It was impossible to repair. Hole is too large.

We ordered the tube again,
At a later date, re-assembly.
So tragedy was ceased.

Tubeless reduction with OUTEX kit, The 17-inch RH03J type SR400

I prior to the centering of the wheel, was the replacement of the bearings.
The bearing was not bad even without replacement. But, it is incidentally that was disassembled.

I After removing the oil seal, was welded steel bars. This clamp for temporary fixing.

I have to fix the grounding of welding at the brake bolt hole.

The rod of steel is stuck with welding, you can remove it and hit it from the opposite.

You had better remove the rubber seal of the bearing.You can well welding.

You remove the one side, the opposite can be hammering.It easily removed.
Once you get in both sides of the bearing to push hit the new bearings.
If once you hit just the inner race, ball spoil.
Outer race or the whole, it hits.

State of press-fitting the bearing.
Bearing of part number
6303LLU C3 Quantity 2
Bearing is not a genuine parts. Made NTN.
Oil seal
93106-28023 Quantity 1
93105-45017 Quantity 1

I did a centering after this.

It will tubeless reduction with OUTEX tubeless kit.

Completion Once fit the tire.

Front tires
110 / 70R Dunlop α-13 SPORTMAX
Part number 304 541

Incidentally rim width 3.00
I did a rotor bolt with a new one. Part number 90111-08003 six
Front tire does not particularly interfere with the body.

I was able to sell to Naoyan it between Bon vacation, front tire that was removed from this RH03J.
I was exchanged also the wheel in the new bearings.

I was remodeling it to 17 inches, the SR400 of RH03J type.

I was such a thing to one months ago.
August 14 to 16 in Japan is the Obon holiday.

I single in the past, was remodeled SR500 to 17 inches.
It cornering is good. I can rub the step with confidence.
So I had to buy a rim and the hub.

Rim width of the front is 3.00.
Webike is good to order it. It's easy because there is an input form.

You can choose the color, the four colors of gold,silver, black and blue.

Now, I have a SR400 type of RH03J.
I decided to bestow the "Naoyan" to that of the front around. "Naoyan" is my friend.
Assuming there is no wheel.

So I decided to assemble the 17 inches wheels, during the Obon holiday.
RH03J is this type ↓ is the current fuel injection.

This wheel hub's rusty second-hand goods. I bought at the auction site. Sandblast it, and paint.
RH01J later hub's common. So it has in abundance.

SR's originally 18 inches.Spoke are too long, for 17 inches wheels.
So I will use Nexxs made of spokes, the part number SPF-Y02.

The spokes set of Nexxs contains two types of spokes.
They are entered in each bag that says outer and inner. Length is different.

However, they are not separated on the inside of the hole and outside the hole.
In fact it is the lights and left.
Short spoke to the disk side
Long spokes on the opposite side
I wrote a line with magic pen, in order to not confuse. I think you are faintly visible.

The front wheel is temporarily fixed all spoke by twist tie, before fitting to the rim.
In this way it will be temporarily fixed all of the spokes. However, this image is not knitted by mistake.

Knitting is this.
Four beyond the spoke and cross.
At that time, it is above the outside of the hole.

And I make the centering.

Runout is OK when I become a 1mm or less.
Since the rim and spokes new, it's easy. Deviation is less, from the beginning.

Until spoke is good tension, you will continue to tighten each a little while watching the deviation.

When the wheel is 18 inches to 17 inches, an outer diameter of the tire changes.
So it shifts the value of the speedometer.
This will be resolved by using the meter gear for XJR400.

This is a second-hand goods. I washed with brake cleaner, it was previously put plenty of grease then.
If you buy it with the new article.

Next time I'll try to buy a new one. To ascertain to what can be fixed,
