Ukrainian project!

hi, my bike arrived and it's pretty much beaten up, it was awfully handled and i hope i won't do something like this to any of my property.
so some of questions:
1) did all f4i's come with lambda o2 sensors? mine is just stuck with the bolt, so i think i need a replacement
2) what is this black cylinder located underneath close to the exhaust pipe? it has the hose that looks like pcv system. is it some oilcatch stuff? is it really needed? what does it do? can it be deleted?(it had took a lot of beating) i'll post pics later


i need some f4i stuff, i thought it can be appropriate to post there. please ignore if you mind.
i'd like to buy for 2006 f4i:
primary lambda o2 sensor;
the fixating ring (spring and ball thing) on the right passenger peg;
the kickstand with it's position sensor.

i think the o2 sensor only comes for the so-called "california model"
i'm in europe so i've never actually seen one :D

Yes those are both emission controls so you bought a california model. i do belive in 06 all of them had it though but not sure on that.

mine's a '01 and has a 02 sensor and the black cyclinder underneath. just means its a california model and its all just emissions crap. not sure if you can "delete" it or not.
 
 

it should be , but it looks like this:

and i don't like the way it looks, i think that's the oil catch tank and the pcv system can just be looped together or both of them can be vented to the atmosphere. anyone have a schematic of this system?
can the FI light be caused by the lack of the o2 sensor? can anyone point where is the jack of the o2 sensor located usually?i want to check if it's there or maybe it was without it when produced...
yep, it's from San Diego, California and i hate the guy that owned it before me. stuntshine state bla bla bla

some pics of the prgress will be here

sorry the description is in russian 

you can buy a simulator for the 02 sensor. Im sure you can remove the pvc system entirely. Just make sure anything you disconect that has a vaccuum is closed or sealed as to not interfere with the rest of the bike.

i'll be more happy if i have a normal o2 sensor as it does help to form the air/fuel ratio and mileage too, i found one (and the kickstand kill switch which is absent on my bike for some other strange reason too) for cheap.i'll check tomorrow if they at least have the jacks to plug in still intact... the asshole which did this shouldn't be let to any type of vehicles.really

Is that bike missing it's vin sticker on the side of the frame? I think I saw that bike before and I'm afraid to say you might have a lot of problems

on the left side the sticker is there, it's scratched, but mostly there. we already "see" the problems the plastic needs some major welding(god bless ukraine for the repairs cheapness)

today i did the pair valve mod, bypass the evap canister and throw this piece of junk away.
i'd like to ask when you do the pair valve mod do you throw away the solenoid itself or do you leave it hanging around?

some pics:
pair removal

you can look at the fairings and estimate how much work is done on them. a lot of pieces were missing, a lot of mounting points absent, a lot of sculpting, creating, repairing and reinforcing

Wait a min this all happened from shipping? Holy hell i hope when i move back to France this doesnt happen to my bike. Id def go after the shipping company though.

hell no, it has happened within the thousand miles it was owned by previous owner. i was confident that i'm going to repaint and mod it a lot, it's a salvage title bike, i knew it when i bought it on copart.com, but the copart photos didn't show all the truth about the state, there were some unpleasant surprises, but nothing that russian hands can't fix and repair for some money.

haha gotta love Ukraine. Reminds me of the movie Eastern Promises. You should ride the bike to Kiev and take some pics when its all finished.

Quite the project. Good luck with all of it. Keep the pictures coming.

im surprised you dont just order new plastics... at least tail section and head light section.
cuz they look pretty cracked and broken

so this has probably already been stated but I just unattached my o2 sensor a while back when I changed my pipe.  You can buy some eliminator thing somewhere it's been a while.  It didn't ruin anything in regards to my bike. . . at least that I know of. . . heh.

bluej511, don't quite remember, but i think i've seen it. i was in kyiv at the previous week-end at the bike exposhow 2008




i didn't order the new plastics more in sake of the time , cause it would be shipped three weeks more and even in this way it would be much more expensive(oem. not the cheap china ones) than to pay for repairs.

i installed the vortex sliders, cut the plastics, cut the stock undertray to fit the undertail, made holes for the hugger. the front and back hugger and the grab bar were painted black pearl,the fuel tank , side fairings and the undertail will be painted together , hope to mask out the vinyl profiles in friday and and such stuff. hope to test out my new bike tuesday-wednesday!

marked the slider spot with laser pointer

the tail plastic being modelled and the misc. plastic piece to fix it.

i drill the fairing

white layer - first of three paint layers

the fuel tank fixed and painted white

sanded down the stator cover, prepaing for painting

huggers are painted black, not polished,matted, without the pearl fire bits(will be sprayed in clearcoat)

clearcoated hugger

fuel tank in it's amazing new color.without clearcoat

from the side

tail is much closer to the happy ending

other side

headlight missed here a big chunk of plastic with all the mounting tabs

grab bar

keep tuned for more!

while you have everything ripped apart you should do a 01-03 split seat conversion much cleaner looking imo

HAVOC, thanks for the tip, but i think otherwise, i like one big seat much better, i'd buy an rr if i'd like the split seats better

ordered the 954 m/c, brake calipers, jet black pegs, new mirrors (like oem, but with turn signals), jet black levers, kick stand and o2 sensor.

ordered progrip 725 evo grips, alarm system, going to order teknic saddlebags tonight.

i bet you couldn't believe it's possible. the front in one piece

inside view at that moment of time:

almost ready to prime!

at the evening it was already almost ready to primer!

doing the stickers

now the matter gets more beautiful!
painted fairings(not clearcoated, so not shiny today)

vinyl applied(tomorrow it will be outlined with reflective pinstripe)
