Bike won't start!

<< < (5/7) > >>

Danger4u2:
With the top off, I would split the cases and change the crank seals.  It would be the sh**s to put it together, do the pressure test and find you needed seals.

bob larry:
I hear ya.  Stared at it last night thinking the same thing.
I have the flywheel puller coming from ebay.
Can you split the cases without the puller or is the puller a must have...?

I wish there was a write up on the bottom end to make things smooth.

bob larry:
Been looking through all the bikebandit pics....

What would you guys get for the bottom end? 

Crank bearings and Seals... ?

Goat:
If you look around there are complete seal kits. They come with every seal you need. If you get a complete gasket kit they come with every gasket and o-ring you would need. I would get crank bearings, output shaft bearing, input shaft bearing, and clutch basket needle bearing. Those take the most abuse. Check the other bearings if they show signs of wear I would replace them.

Danger4u2:
If you do it the correct way now, it will be a long time before it's needed again.
