Nick.H Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 So it ran fine... twice... then I found a crack by the shift shaft. Used some JB weld steelstik, my mechanic said based on how small the crack is it should be a good and quick fix for the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 JB weld barely letting oil thru, small drops. Probably going to buy a lower case if I can seal it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick.H Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Leak is stopped. But now it won't run and I'm only getting exhaust from the right side pipe. Plug looks okay, carb isn't that dirty. I don't know what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Was the petcock off while it was all a kilter? Maybe flooded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 The bike lost all compression somehow. This is a nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Now in the process of a top end rebuild. This bike is from hell. I've got a whopping 3 rides in on it, each under 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peezy Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Can anybody tell me what oil you would use Edited August 8, 2017 by Peezy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 did you leak down test it after putting all the seals in the motor? you might have an air leak. you lost compression on both cylinders or just one? rather than listen to your mechanic, you should take the advice from here. its not complicated, and if you spend a few bucks on testers, like the leak down tester, it will save you more money in the long run.

Nick.H Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yeah we did a leak down. Just the right cylinder lost compression. You should see the rings. They're about 1/3 of the width they were supposed to be haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.H Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Finished the top end rebuild. Bike still refuses to start. I don't know what to do at this point. I'm ready to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
