bottem end rebuild pre-lube?

(1/3) > >>

seff23:
well i finally put new seal and mains in my bike since i had apart anyways for a rod bearing. so my question is when i put in the new bearings i know there going to need some oil on them but how much? should i pour a cap full in each bearing oil drain or just a few drops? what about on the new rod bearing itself, a few drops or a cap full??

kwakman:
some people (me included) use engine build grease on the mains, ask your local bike shop what they use, if you use oil put a good dribble on all mentioned areas, too much over too little where lube is concerned everytime...hth

 Like Kwak said, I use moly and twostroke oil mix.  Too much might produce a little too much smoke at fie up, so?
  Too little... well you know what too little will do...
 
The Idea is to provide enough lube until the oil starts to separate from your induction (Fuel) to fog and precipitate on your new bearings.

Is your mix thick enough to "pack" the bearings?

kaw rider:
Use a good grease for the seals and i pour in my break in oil into the crankcase intills it fills the hole crankshaft area to the top and i let it sit for one hour then i suck most of it out leaving about 3 oz in bottum of case.
