might check if any other type of bikes use the same spline. seems like i accidentally found out a honda shifter fits on ktm

sweet. sounds like your the man for the job. jerry ever call your boss yet ?

ive heard of people using tractor fluid. never tried it myself but i see no reason it wouldnt work. now i think of it, i dont see a reason most any fluid wouldnt work

tygon is a trademark name and not the same material as typical fuel line. hard to say what that oregon stuff is. possibly rebranded tygon. then again it might be a knockoff as the ingredients for tygon are secret. but thats not to say a competitors lab couldnt do some tests and figure out how to make their own form of tygon type hose

japan seems far away. why not get it from mcmaster in california

hey bring us a photo of your shop tomorow. we gotta make sure your legit

i need some special crankcases. whats the labor gonna cost ? soon as i figure out how to use this damn CAD program

use a garden hose if you want but it wont do any good. tygon 1/8" ID works well

same way you remove and install swingarm bearings incase you didnt know

do you run the machines or just sweep floors ?

fuk its about time. didnt think it was that hard to get some nuts made. good job brotha. been needing one of them covers for a while. make sure you use some premium usa steel. not that chinese bullshit

i been keeping track but obtaining a specific primary ratio isnt high on my priority list. gonna use some special longer rods and a side affect will be some added volume but im not sure how much as of yet and really i dont care but ill probly check it again with oil once i get everything setup, mostly just out of curiousity

alot of times its just a bunch easier to go with the oem stuff. can go on one website and order everything you need in a single swoop and you know exactly what your getting. ya you can get good stuff piece by piece from a bearing house but its a pain in the ass and you have to be sure all the classifications on the bearings are the same and shit like that. theres some exceptions like if your doing a special crankshaft for a banshee or something and want roller bearings instead of the ball type but for the run of the mill 250r you better off just getting oem shit.

fuk trying to save the bearings. just use new ones. i would stay far away from cheap ass bearing kits. can probly get everything you need pretty cheap from service honda

thats from where i filled the case with oil to check volume

this is just me but i would put the airbox back on. use some pantyhose or whatever over the top of the box if you dont use the lid or atleast a filter skin over the filter. ill bet money youve gained almost nothing with them pod filters on that particular engine

i made some molds of unmodified tunells. it give me a better 3d image of whats going on and how i want to change them

yes sir. ive even taken a big poop before a race to lighten the load a bit also

i can see your concearn about the extra weight. maybe the jockey could lose a few lbs and then use some billet cases

dont get me wrong im not talking smack on the shops that arent self sufficient. just merely pointing out that often times there is several people touching your parts along the way, wether you know it or not

no vague sweeping statments here brah. just telling it like it is. one of the popular shops that some of you folks use doesnt even know how to weld and he told me that himself, so it should be no suprise that work gets farmed out, depending what shop your dealing with and what work is being performed. alot of parts changers dont have a clue and just assume that every shop conducts business out of a 50,000ft wharehouse with every tool known to man but that certainly isnt the case

first thing i did was get a clymers. would of been lost without it. alot of people wing it then all their shit is fuked up

you'd be surpised if you knew how little some of the builders actually do. grinding a smidge here and there seems to be the limit for some of em. although you are often led to believe they weld, assemble cranks, build pipes, cut transmissions, trench cases etc

ya know, if somebody started selling clues, they be a fukin millionare just from this site

sweet. do they start with hotrods crank wheels then add whatever rod and bearings the customer wanted ?
