Day One - Taking the water out...

Today the VFR was brought to the UCC Motorcycle Club workshop where the fuel tank and fairings were taken from the bike in order to allow access to the carbs and the engine in general. The essence of the work was just to get a feel for the amount of water that had lodged itself into the bike. An oil change in Lee Motorcycles had found 2 litres of water come out from various areas of the bike. Using an air compressor we were able to drive out more water. The carbs were water logged of course and were taken off for a clean and drying. This allowed access to the inlets and more water was found by blowing compressed air through here. Electrics were all fairly water logged too but after a few hours of work two dehumidifers were located close to the bike and are now running constantly in an effort to help dry it in full and ready it for the remedial work. Updates will follow as work progresses. Pictures are below.
