i've changed the oil a few times and it still happens. the coolant is a little low and there doesn't appear to be any oil in it. Do i have to pull the entire clutch cover or can i just take off the little cover on it that's held on by three screws?

just had my bike rebuilt. checked the oil and it looks like milk/cream. I highly doubt the head is leaking. where would this leak be? the water impeller? do i need to take off the entire clutch cover to get at it? i could use a little help here. thanks.

I checked my trans fluid today and there was white foam on the dipstick. That means there's water getting into the transmission, right? I just had the motor rebuilt and the bike hasn't even seen rain so i'm a little confused. What do you guys think?

buy some gear saver 75w

It runs i just need to give it a little gas to get it to idle. I have new plugs and plenty of compression. i played with the throttle cable and idle screws but still can't get this thing to idle.

Where my header pipe meets the silencer leaks pretty bad, long story short there used to be a homemade rubber fitting with hose clamps over it but they're gone now. Anyone know the best way to fix it that will keep it looking clean? Second I just rebuilt my bike and it won't idle. It didn't idle when i got it but it blew up the day after so i figured the whole about to seize factor was the issue. Anyway I'm at about 300ft above sea level with stock carbs, full fmfs, wiesco pistons bored .06 over. Anyone know what my jets should be? What's a good kit to buy and how much is all this going to cost me?

Where my header pipe meets the silencer is leaking. The guy before my had a make shift rubber thing with hose clamps over it which worked ok but but looked terrible. I rebuilt the top end and in the process somehow lost the little rubber things. Is there a legit part im supposed to buy or is there something i can make myself? preferably something that will look good.

look into some low voltage l.e.ds. I think I'd like to give it a shot too

the carbs are stock. Can I get the crank welded at a regular machine shop?

anyone?

can i do this with my j arms?

my buddy has a sand blaster so i'm going to give that a shot. My pipes were rusted so I tried using a DA on it which worked but I think the sand will give it a better look. I can send you some pictures when I finish it if your curious.

I have an 89 that's in the process of getting rebuilt right now. It has full fmfs, v forces, and just got a cool head with 20cc domes. I'm about 300 feet above sea level temp ranges from freezing to 90s Don't know my compression yet I'd like to use 93 octane fuel, would I need something stronger for the new domes? What should i jet my carb to? I'd like to get a timing plate while everything is apart would that affect my jets? Would I set it to +4 and what fuel would I use? possibly drilling the box for a little more power? I don't have the money to my jugs get ported right now but is there anything else you guys recommend while the motor is apart? Maybe getting the crank welded? can an average shop do that? Is it expensive? I also have boysen reeds I can use, which is better? I'd like to have a fast motor but something reliable, am I going in the right direction? I'm looking to shut down a yfz450 and the rest of those 4 stroke punks Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

How much would a shop charge me to get the helis put in? I'm sure I could do it but for the piece of mind and someone to blame when the f**k it up is nice

I bought a motor to replace the blown one in my bike and I was replacing the head studs since a few were bent and in the process a few of the threads came out of my cylinders. coils were around the studs when they came out. Does anyone know what to do? I don't know what these spring looking coils are but if anyone can shoot some knowledge my way I'd appreciate it. I can take some pics if no one can picture what I'm taking about. Thanks.

What size dome would be right for my motor?

I thought about having them sent out but i'm not sure I have the funds to pay for it. How much does a porting job usually cost? (just a ballpark figure)

I'm lovin that idea, hopefully I can get my buddy to hook me up with some sand.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my bike and the motor now has .50 wiesco pistons, k&n filter, fmf pipes and I'm thinking a cool head is next. Does anyone recommend any particular brand and what do you guys suggest size domes i get? My second question is about my pipes. The headers on my bike look like sh*t and I'm wondering what's the best way to restore them? I'm looking for something cheap I can pull off in the garage and not have to take out a loan to get something powder coated. My buddy has a sandblaster if you guys think that'd be a good idea. Let me know what you guys thank, thanks.

my frame is powder coated dark blue and i have white plastics with blue on the side of the tank and radiator. the guy before me had a flamboyant flame set up which is all i have pictures of... depending on how fast I rebuild my bike and get it back together i will try and get some pics up for you. Sorry for the shitty camera and bad angle (the frame looks black in the pic but it really shines with good light on it)

can anyone help me out with why the rest of the coolant won't drain out of the cylinders?

so your thinking the real problem is in the bottom end if there's that much stuff bouncing around up there?

the bike was running perfect till it seized up on me the day after i got it. I took the cylinder heads off and the left piston has what looks like shrapnel on top of the piston. I cleaned up the shrapnel and the piston itself looks like hell while the right piston looks fine. Anyone know how/why this could happen? Would I be okay with just putting a new top end in the motor or do I need to take a look at the crank and everything too? (i have a general idea of what to do but this is the first time i'd be attempting a rebuild.) Check out the pictures and tell me what you think. I did drain the coolant but for some reason what was in the block didn't come out. help me out here guys.
