@hogfiddles Where is the snowmobile? :D Make the most of it.
Did not realise it was that dense.
Can you clean them with compressed air? Might work. Can you use the compressed air nozzle in the port that the YICS tool goes into?
You know your stuff Minimutly cheers.
That's unfortunate, hope it keeps running well.
Yes same stuff they use on crank bearing clearances, cheers.
How do you know when the clearance is right?
Do you mean the journals?
Yes and the alternator starter clutch chain guide and new bolts if he splits the cases.
It is looking good now, looking forward to you getting it assembled and running. Remove the plugs and left crankshaft round cover. You can turn...
Yes better checking everything.
Oh the guide must have been binding so not moving towards the chain hence the slack in your cam chain. That's why the tensioner is not touching...
@Simmy is that the original Yamaha fuel box you have on your machine? Could that be the culprit?
Have you checked the valve clearances, that might be causing the sound. I read years ago the Suzuki GS 1000 made a noise at idle because of...
Try setting the crank timing mark to TDC and check if the camshaft timing marks are lining up correctly. Is the plunger extending fully on your...
You will have it fixed in no time, voltage drop somewhere.
Yes I like the Kawasaki ZRX too great bike.
Nice machine you got there.
It is just me but I think a lot of the older bikes were better looking machines? Good picture of your dad on the Yamaha. Love my 900f.
I assume it has fuel injection. What is the fuel filter like?
I know you checked the cam chain. Did you do it with the cover off as in this video? This engine was rattly on startup new chain fixed it. And...
If the head gasket blew surely that would allow coolant into the cylinders, because you said there is none. Don't think it is a head gasket,...
R6 have you tried a stethoscope or long screwdriver with your ear to it to locate the exact area the noise if coming from? Check the top of the...
Is it valve chatter? Loose exhaust headers. Have you done a compression test?
On the plus side you have no driveshaft so the motor is easier to remove.
@Roast644 Nice work.
Marving exhaust for XJ650...
@Huntchuks don't see them where I live either.
Looks awesome. Great work.
Check this. https://images.cmsnl.com/img/partslists/yamaha-xj650-maxim-1982-c-usa-shift-cam-fork_bigyau0731c-9_9599.gif
Check this on aftermarket ignition for your 750. https://xjbikes.com/forums/threads/aftermarket-ignition.45931/
Wiring fault or faulty relay?
Better checking the solenoid before the starter motor. Check the voltage of your battery under load. Voltmeter set to 20 volts DC hold the...
You need a bigger garage :p
Super great it is running. Great work.
I thought they were aftermarket crash bars, didn't know Yamaha sold them cheers.
Can you swap crankshafts if the cases are line bored?
Thought so cheers.
Do the covers with the YICS stickers have the same 4mm seal?
@Timbox is this it? https://www.kbs-coatings.co.uk/products/gold-standard-tank-sealer
You would have to stop the driveshaft flange on the engine rotating. If you had a long flat bar bolted to it it should work. You are better with...
When I was an apprentice in the construction industry we didn't wear PPI to the same extent we do now. Off subject I know but the changes I think...
Welcome to the forum. I think your return port on the master cylinder is blocked. The master cylinder is pumping fluid but when you lock the bleed...
I tried to find out about the Yamaha ones. This was a car site it said inlet manifold flaps create swirl. The swirling effect aids combustion and...
The issue on the Mondeo. https://www.robert-jenkins.co.uk/mondeo/index.php
I had a Ford car with inlet manifold flaps which l removed because in the early cars the pin supporting the flaps broke up eventually and wrecked...
BMW panniers fitted. [ATTACH] Need to get it back on the road.
