Well if your gonna mail em/ Trinity makes great motors along with LRD.

That's a funny smiley face

It's all stock back there? I know aftermarket swingarms have a problem with the caliper hitting the silencer due to the placement of said caliper..they moved up on top of the rotor instead of behind like stock. Anyways..Are you running aftermarket suspension? I really can't think of anything back there besides the brake caliper that would make a dent like that.

Don't worry about your crank. Unless your making high horsepower, it will hold up. My old 87 crank lasted upteen years before I had to replace it due to the inner bearings being worn out. Nothing wrong with the crank besides that. It was cheaper to drop in a wiseco hot rod crank then to get the stock spit and repaired.

A local bikeshop should do. They should charge anywhere from 45-60 bucks per cylinder. Make shure you have the new piston in hand and then after the bore check for burs on the ports and a good cross-hatch pattern running the entire bore of the cylinder. cross-hatch is the intersecting lines left from the honing machine used after the boring is done. They should be consistant all around and evenly spaced.

Man, one of my exhaust couplings shit themselves last week, new ones I ordered have yet to come in and NOBODY in this poduck town carries hi-temp hose. Looks like another getto repair with ducttape to carry me through the weekend is in order. I'll be damned if I don't ride due to a cheepo exhaust coupling.

I wiped out mean on thelast whoop in the rythm section at a local race a few years back. Bike flipped up and over me then somebody made traction out of my head. It seemed like forever to get going again. I wasn't able to see straight for the rest of the race but I manged to pass a few people before the end.

I get free stuff frome Lonestar from time to time. Got 4 free balljoints, free axle replacement. But that was years ago.

Yeah, it's normal, the wheels will spin with the clutch pulled in. The plates won't seperate all the way without a load on them. You can adjust the clutch from two places, on the bar at the lever and inside at the pressure plate. If it works fine, I wouldn't worry too much until it becomes real grabby or starts to slip.

get the larger piston and bore it to fit.

Yep, get new bearings.

Depends what the swing arm is made from and how good it's made. Chromoly is some pretty strong shit. Aluminum on the otherhand won't hold up for long.

Damn I'm being attacked on all sides here ..you design suspension parts then you should know what i'm talkin about. Why did dirtbikes go from upside down to rightside up forks?? Why do all high performance shocks run rightside up as well? To find the ballance point of the shock, set it on a stock or somthing and get it to ballance. But the ballance point doesn't really matter, it's where the weight of the shock is located. You want as much weight as possible above the spring. When I first leaned of this too, it took me a while to understand what the f*ck the dude was talking about. Maybe I'm not explaining myself well enough here. Maybe I'm just hard headed. I could be wrong. I'm no paid professional or nothing on engeneering and shock designs.

Unsprung weight is the wight that isn't carried by the machine's suspension. Too much unsprung wight will cause you to become bouncy. unsprung weight can be considered everything below the springs of the shock. With upsidedown shocks, the oil is below the centerline of the shock and add a bit of unsprung weight. Not much, but it's there. So when you turn the shocks rightside up you put that weight above the centerline of the springs and decrease unsprung weight. Take a shock and find the ballance point of it. then find the center of the spring. everything below the center adds to unsprung weight.

You know what, I'm not going to argue..get a book from the library about simple machines and do some reading.

The reeds look fine. The needle jet is what the main jet screws into. it has a lot of tiny little holes that help to atomize the fuel. If that's gunked, it won't work right. It's funny how it only affects one cylinder. Check the intake boot for cracks, they usualy crack right where the ballance tube goes in. If it's been doing this for that long..I'd switch back to the stock pipes and see if it runs better. There are two tangs on the flywheel make shue they are clean and not worn down. There is also a little black pickup on the stator, clean that up a bit. Those tangs and that pickup control the timing. if they are messed up, your timing would be off....the cdi could be bad...it doen't pick up the signal to fire the plugs at the right time...so in essence it's only firing one cylinder. But I wouldn't worry too much about that until you've made shure that everything else is good. Compressed air and carb cleaner..spray out every passage in the carbs wit it, undo everything..make SHURE you count the turns it takes for the idle and air screw..both carbs should be set exactly alike..if one air screw is 2 turns out while the other is 1 1/2..that's your problem. After you clean those carbs up REAL good and let them dry, reintall your floats and make shure they're at the right angle. I forgot exactly what it should be at, but I would check to make shure that the floats close the fuel valve when they are about 1/6 of the way to being all the way up. Make shure both floats are set exactly alike.

Um, redo your math, I stick by what I said. By putting a larger handle on the jack you change the point of pivot.

Yep I wouldn't stop. Until they catch you red handed, deny everything.

turning the shock's upside down reduces unsprung weight.

Leager's are top of the line. On par with roll design and lone star. You won't go wrong with them

You know the camelbak company is a bunch of eco freaks trying to BAN off road usage. Everytime you purchase a camelbak product, that money goes to lobby against our sport. So when you hear about riding areas shutting down or emissions laws being passed to outlaw 2 strokes...take a GOOD long look at the camel bak you use and thank yourself for helping them achive their goals. Then look at that nice banshee in your shed that is now illegal to ride.

The case is going to be hard to spit. Make a box with 2x4's just big enough to fit the engine in then set the corner on the case on the 2x4 and push down on the crank in spurts until the case splits.

I just toss mine in a box and liberaly add styrofoam penuts until I'm bored. then I mail it 2nd rate freight and sit on the couch till it comes back.

I already copyrighted that name. Copycat!

No. Oil is a personal preferance thing. One oil won't make huge hp gains over another. But Motul will make your motor last longer(Product placement allert)
