Hi,
New to this forum and the new owner of a 1999 FE501E
I've downloaded the workshop manual from this site (Thank you to the person who made this download possible).
As the bike did not come with any service or hours history:
My intention is to pull the engine. check it over, change the rod bearings and bushings, checkc to see if it is fitted with the two piece exhaust valves and replace if so. Check and correct an issue with the electric starter.
I intend to fit street tires and am now, (I think) looking for an 18" front wheel on which to mount a new front tire.
I intend to ride the bike casually on the street with a Super Mono look, not to ride it hard or to race it.
Any advice on obtaining the require pullers to disassemble the engine and any other issues I should look for would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
