Won't be able to look at it till weekend lads and am in Sussex Norfe dam it, but thankyou so much for wanting to help......was just saying bradders mate about my bike rattling like hell at the moment and your the man to ask on parts etc hehe, I wil get the manual out and do it step by step, but can I ask when splitting the engine in 2 after taking the top end off and side casings, do I have to take all the clutch plates/basket off aswell and all the stuff inside the left hand side casing? Or can all this stay on while I pull the engine in 2?

 ha ha cheeky ****er, like ur style tho

no you have to take all the clutch off mate, ur best off resting it on the stator side when stripping it and pulling the clutch side crank case off coz theres a circlip on the selector fork shaft and it gets stuck trying to pull the cluster of gears out

seen as iv got some spare time on my hands (with no bike boo hoo) i might do a step by step engine strip guide, ill build what ever i can out of my engine spares for the bottom end guide as i dont have a complete one plus it will give me a good reason to be in the garage in the piece n quiet ha ha

i did one for the top end strip and rebuild on mine, when i did it as i thought it would be good for people on here

but its only photos tho but im sure it will give a clear description with pointers I just never got round to doing it with the kids taking up house time

when are you starting the rebuild as i think the haynes manual is crap tbh, iv always had clymer manuals ther 3 times as thick with all pictures step by step and dont think the haynes is verry helpfull to novices

 thats a bloody good idea, i'd definately print it off!!!!

 

if your that bored, feel free to pop down to devon and give me a hand!!!

when you need to lock the crank to get a nut off just put a penny in between two gears, much easier than using blocks of wood and ****

that metal is hard not much will hurt it bar a cutting oxy tortch ha ha

haha xD. What bolt are you talking about that you need to lock the gears up to get off ? the only one i can think of is the one that holds the front sprocket ?.

Ohh yeah that one xD

Alright mate this might be way off but have you checked the screws that hold the stator on behind the flywheel, later model RG125's have been known for them to come loose and catch on the flywheel and cause a weird rattling sound that's taken people ages to locate.

give the case a good warm up with the blow tortch,dont be afraid to give it a good belt with the hammer on a driver, have you not got an impact driver or no some one to lend u 1 matey

dont forget the engine mount under the swingarm spindle, y they put that one in aswell is daft ha ha

im just in the process of sorting the enginer strip guide, been stripping the old bottom end taking some pics, ill try get it on 2mora, c if its any help for any one

Hello rudi mate The gudgeon pin was new with the piston but I will check that thanks mate

Hello Mate hope your all good poor bike too but I hope you get it back soon ...............Just to let everyone know have put the bike on ebay at the moment as it is, for a quick sale as at the moment I really havent got the time and effort to rip the engine open etc etc, but thankyou so much for all your help, someone could sort it in a few hours me on the other hand probably a bloody year hehehe !!!!!

looks tidy on ebay mate, get stuck in it will be sumets daft or sumet loose some where, not worth loosing money over for the bit of effort it would take to sort it

just think how happy ull be when its sorted ha ha ull love it again till it breaks again ha

This is the problem lads, I have put so much money into it, time and time again, I know what your all saying, but I just havent got it in me this time to strip/check, whatever I got to do with it, if I knew the problem first hand with that rattle I would sort it, so many people are saying so many different things, and even though I thank everyone for taking the time to reply, we seem to be all scratching are heads on this one, even me, I'm not 100% sure on this but it cant be the crank, or top end, the crank looked fine with I looked at it from the top, so did the rod bit which sticks out, I even started the bike up with no exhaust and looked up the port, and it all seems fine up there!!!!! this baffles me big time, within the first hour I put it on ebay this morning someone offered me 650 quid lol, got 14 watches at the moment...................so come on which one of you lot are watching to eh eh eh !!!!!

ha ha how long have you put it on for ?
