UTERUS Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hello, I bought a motorcycle, as per below. So I took it for a ride and I wondered why it was kinda sluggish. Ebayd me some new pistons, gave all the crap to the machinist and now I play the waiting game for my gasket set. Oh, needs a re vin too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTERUS Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Took all my crap to Taupo for the weekend and assembled it with the help of handsome (rookie) Dave. Makes all the right noises and goes real good, so I'm happy. Should probably get my license this week if I get time.

UTERUS Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Found some enthusiasm again. Balanced the carbs as best I could, adjusted the oil pump timing and it ran heaps better which was cool. Pulled the baffles out for maximum rowdy. The clutch has always been real average, it was kinda better after i put the correct clutch lever on but still poo. It stuck after sitting overnight and slipped from my sloppy gear changes. So i pulled that guy out today and found heaps of debris in the gearbag, looks like it has had water sitting in there at some stage. There are rust particles and goo everywhere. I ordered a clutch last week so hopefully that turns up by next weekend. After remembering what kirk said about crank seals, I had a geez in behind the clutch to be faced with a bearing held in by roll pins which is hiding the crank seal. I'll roll it round to the bike guy tomorrow and see if he can do the crank seals because it looks way past my ability.
