SAVAGE420 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Every time i crack my cases i have always wondered what this hole was for in the upper case above the kicker shaft hole. I mean nothing goes there, maybe could be a oil passage hole? Or was it needed when they were machined? Just seems useless to me is all.

RZBansheeMan Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm quite certain it was a hole for a mechanical tach drive on the early RZ 350 bikes Chris. I think it ran from above the kicker shaft to center of the case and then came up through the top of the case towards the back. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 On the Japanese models that's where the snout for the electric starter goes. Because they don't have enough beef in their ass to kick it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike X2, that is exactly why it is there, it is left over from when the cases were used on the RZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robs400 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thats awesome and good to know what its for, i always wondered. Thanx What is that in your vise? Is that just a piece of thin metal that is bolted to the case or something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 It's my free home made 2 min job engine stand. Small old electrical panel door, drilled 2 holes, bent the top, used some old nuts to space it a bit, bolted it on, lifted into the vise and it was done. 100x easier working on the motor like that VS it moving around fussing on the bench. Works really well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Smoke Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I sell stands like that. I know they are pretty simple, and some of you guys can make your own, but if you are interested I listed them in the For Sale section here: http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=134286&st=0&gopid=1169245& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
