THE MOMENT OF TRUE.

Good on you! 

I know that English is a second language, but I'm curious as to what the "intake valve shaft" is? 

Maybe it's the intake camshaft?

I'd love to see pics - If you have them..

Thanks again, D

I’m a little concerned about re-using the cylinder head gasket - a non oem one at that.  Hopefully it will be ok.

Yes, is the intake camshaft.

The head gasket has been installed for three weeks, without the engine running and without water in the circuit.
I will have the real proof when I fill the engine with water and make it run at full speed.

I uninstalled the battery with the intention of tidying up the mess of cables that connect relays, fuse boxes and other things that I don't know what they are for.

I also don't know if I trust the electrical diagram in the workshop manual since the entire electrical system of the motorcycle is bypassed.

I have removed the lock that is under the seat and this is the result.


All the cables are unspliced ​​or cut, it seems that with the teeth, they are a dead weight for the motorcycle.


I found a jumper between the white and white wires with a black stripe, also the orange wire with a green stripe that connects to the starter solenoid is powered by a yellow wire that I don't know where it comes from.I think the red cable was left simply because it was the same color as the motorcycle, I can't find another more important reason.


If it weren't for the fact that I have the title to the motorcycle, I would think it was a stolen vehicle.

The back of the lock, where the cables enter, has been manipulated, and this time it was not me, it looks like parts of the casing are broken.



It is obvious that the lock has been disconnected from the rest of the electrical system as it is broken.

My question is this:
Can the lock be removed from the back to try to repair it or is it simply not worth trying?

After waiting 16 hours for someone else to answer your question........

Yes, you can remove the back which contains all of the contact points and clean up the contacts and the sliding brass shoes. Be careful when you first start removing the back cover. The sliding shoes are spring loaded and things could go flying. i like to smear No-Ox paste on the contacts to minimize the corrosion down the road. Just a little bit, no gobs of it.
You may find the solder joints on the back are at fault and need to be resoldered. Check the resistance between the contacts on the inside and the ends of the wires. Repair what you must
