Marcel Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Told them wyll the tanks are off , could you install a set of fresh plugs , replace the handgrips has the old one were still the original ones from 2004 and were turning into plastic and have a look at this slight oil leak , it only leaked when the bike was running and was really hard to find exactly were it was coming from after the bike was ridden a few hundred km...

Marcel Posted 50 minutes ago Author Share Posted 50 minutes ago Anyway two weeks later I get a call...the technician had a look at it...said the entire engine would have to be pulled out and re- gasket everything...has for the the timing chain , it appears to be ok , but it's something we wouldn't be able to do this time of the year..it would be a winter project, ...asked them did you install a set of plugs..no...the grips..no..they sold me these grips with different types of cams wich I figure out doesn't work on this bike...so they ordered the specific one for this bike...so I decided afterall to pickup the bike and bring it home...anyway I have to give them and F for effort..

Marcel Posted 40 minutes ago Author Share Posted 40 minutes ago Waiting for the throttle cam, deceided to clean the front sprocket area to remove the old chain lube...when I pulled off the clutch slave , a big table spoon of engine oil leaked out of it..from what I could tell the clutch pushrod seal was leaking...still waiting for the seal...suppose to be in this week...anyway the manual called for the pushrod to be removed in order to replace the seal...I didn't want to drain the oil has it was still fresh or take apart the pressure plate..so I did the old screw in the seal trick..

Ya seal is no bigger than a dime...only a master technician would attempt removing it in this manner...you would have probably drilled into the engine case...lol.

Marcel Posted 10 minutes ago Author Share Posted 10 minutes ago Ya it was a little tricky to get the seal out...has it sitts a good quarter of inch inside the case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
