sangheraent Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 well I finished my build today and I have some problems with my bike. First only 1 cylinder runs they both ran before the build the one cylinder has 150psi compression and its getting gas. this is connected to the fact that when I rev the motor that same cylinder shoots out what looks like antifreeze. the other problem is that when I put it in gear it seems to shift just fine but the bike doesnt move. I think the clutch is just spinning or something but I can pull the lever and it seems to be working fine but when I shift gear it jerks a litltle when I shift but then the bike doesnt move. Quote

Ya know that it is easy to blow an engine with antifreeze in your cylinders? -Now what is the compression of the other cylinder? -Do you see white smoke from the exhaust? -Did you put the ball in along with the push rod for your clutch? -Did you forget to put the adjustment screw in the pressure plate? -You will probably have to take the clutch cover off and tell us more about what you see. -Another good way to check to see if you have a head gasket leak (most likely if you have coolant in your cylinders) is to look at your coolant overflow reservoir as the engine is running and see if there are any bubbles coming in. -If you do have a leaking head gasket, then you will have to take the head off and see where the problem is. You may have a damaged spot on your head/cylinder or if you have a cool head then your o-rings may not have properly seated in. -There are a number of things I could list here but you have to tell us more in order to get better advice to fix your problem. -Another suggestion is to get a clymer manual. Those help out alot. Quote

sangheraent Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Posted May 13, 2009 so I got all those problems fixed and i had it running it started first kick. i broke it in with heat cycles and after that I went for a little ride. it rode great for about 20 25mins i didnt even take it full out yet and i heard a lot grinding coming from the bottom end i turned it off as soon as I heard it. it feels like the crank moved out of place or something but it still kicks i only half kicked it because i didnt want to break it. but what could have happend?

Darthwall Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Did you check the kicker gear? ya check that I had the same problem Quote
sangheraent Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Posted May 13, 2009 is that a repairable problem? I will check that later on tonight. Quote
