Yup ordered crazy, should be here today. What a difference in price tho. 45 quid for 2.. Easy come easy go.
least the new seals were correct..lol.
Whislt i am waiting, thought i have a go up tidying up the frame. painted up the frame, where the was rusty patches, Also cleaned the head up. The PV valve was chocko with crud and goo. Was a bit tight in turning. all free now.
Hopefully! the bike should be back on the road morra..fingers crossed . all this nice weather and no bike to ride ..lol typical..
yeh its sods law, at least she will be nice and clean with no funny noises lol, still im sure you'll never forget the sizes ever again, could order them off top of head now i bet lol, hope all goes well,let us know how you get on
No probs chap.. be back on the road morra..got some bolts on the frame to sort out first. two have sheered off, where the plasic tail sits. also an indicator on the rear has fallen off the rubber.
Ive renamed the DTR engine.. Yamaha cookoo clock. How they packed so much in it and it all fits is beond me..lol
hahaha yeah is quite alot stuffed into there lol its like them flat pack furniture or tool kits, come in perfection, and NEVER go back in not matter what you try :/ id love to know all this about engines lol .. so i could give mine a good clean, to do what youve done id have to pay a garage £300000000000000000 pounds, thats even if they do what you actually asked them lol
well, the bike is back on the road, and ran real sweet for 50 miles over the week end, then it developed a rattle.. cant tell where its comming from tho.. Lookes like either the big end or littlle end.. or a broken ring, sounds from the head area.
SO it back to being off the road, and stripped again..GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
any how.. this is a vid this last friday..it was running smooth too!.. and fast..
ahhhh .. piss take init.... i like your tail tidy lol good vid what tail tidy is it?
my bikes making a strange noise lol sounds like summat is loose :S you can only hear it when its ticking over (to loud otherwise) its like a whining, like somethings not oiled up or something loose, coming out the engine casing?? ever expierenced it? or heard it? thanks
i dont know who makes it craig..its all LED..very thin and sits under the rear fender. U can hardly see it. Ive not seen another like it on ebay or in the usual shops. It was on the bike when i bought it..
The one i really like and looks the part is this one..all LED too..
cheers m8, yours does look the best ive seen gotta say lol. that one looks pretty good, are they easy to install? i know youve not done your DTs one but done anymore? cheers
funny u say that, i have two other DTR engines sitting in my flat. Both are stripped due to bearings. lol
The tail tidy is dead easy to install. Its held my 3 small nuts/bolts on the rear tail/fender. The wires are easy too. U need to take the seat off ad undo the 4 bolts that hold the fender on. I think the tail tidy uses the existing holes of the original light unit.
a weird wirring noise craig, and movement on the magneto/flywheel. Up and down movement.
How i notice mine, just now and again i heard a light knock at high revs. Further investigation revealed the play in the bearing. Also vibration at 5.5K revs.. snce ive done mine, it very smooth thu out the rev range.
looks like morra mornin, the engine is comming out again..
any video recordings of this? when at tick over (its too loud otherwise) theres like a whinning noise coming out of the engine, its a pain in the arse with a helmet on because it blocks out louder noises, all i can heard is that echoing thru the helmet. its just a little whinning noise coming out the engine, is there a place where its loudest?? thanks .. i hope its not this tho!
should of taken some footage when it was doing it.. soz.. it fixed now..
All DTS have a some type of gearbox whine. it down to the straight cut gears. As to where it was comming from, that was the problem, i could`nt work that out. I just had a suspision of what it was at the time. Left hand side crank play.
anyhow.. see if u can get some footage up if u can.. wonder if i can hear the problem.
Mind u, hope ur having a better day than me, engine out.. pistion fooooorked, bore scored...
The also is a crack going down the center. It did seize on the duel carrage way, Wished i replaced the piston when i did the bottom end now..
nother 80 quid and she will be all right again..back on two legs!
Today a good day!.. the barrel is now bored out to 56.5mm and a matching piston/rings/little end bearing/gudgeon pin.
Fits all well snug, and feels nice n smooth. The compression is unreal. What a difference. The kick starter is a lot harder to move, due to the resistance of pressure. Plug out it spins nice.
I cant wait till ther rings seal real well. 500miles of pussying it around grrrrr..not over 6K either. Run in and the YPVS will be open most of the time..lol
Not happy with the crank bearing.. i think it might need another strip in the future. wont be sure till she fires up.
any one got a brill crank they wana sell?.. just in case
good job mate, hope thats not a warpy pattern head gasket your using lol, if it is bud hope not teaching granny how to suck eggs lol,beacause they warp people buy genine head gaskets but pattern for the rest is cool just saves that question-why is my coolant expansion bottle running out so quickly lol, it may be a leak in head lol, anyways thought id let you know incase m8y
Yup, pattern crazy, but a very good quality one.. Believe it or not, ived used this gasket twice now, seals perfect. Not used a drop of water. Temps are perfect. My secret is clean clean clean..lol and always check with a steel ruler..
The bike is runing after a few hours install., and jus got back froma 50 mile ride. The low to mid range power is so much more. I can pull to 50mph quite quickly now, with out going in the powerband. Unreal how much difference there is from a 20K piston to new rebore.
The crank is ok, not making any nasty noises, but hoping to find another in the future. glad to back on the road..
glad your back on the road lol .. i am aswell now lol 21 miles to work and 21 back, so boring cuz its mainly A road national speed limit, and my bike cant even do that i get everything overtaking me :(
what do you think you will get outta your bike now? haha gaz, any chance to get ya beast out haha jokes
