Madbanshee01 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 Hey guys, wondering if you can please help me.. I was doing a cleaning inspection on my 2001 shee and i noticed that when i grap the rear brake rotor and jerk it forward and backwards it tends to move or have some slack. Is this normal ? I also noticed that when i grap the front tires and jerk them in and out towards the frame they twitch just a little. Other than that i am takeing her in for repairs because i know somthing is wrong with my engine. I was riding one day and i noticed a bog in my low end the top end was fine when the powerband kicked in. So i stopped to see wat it was and i noticed my coolant bottle was empty and as the bike was off i could here the radiator like boiling inside. I went out and bought some more coolant, i drained the old and put in the new and again it just sucked it all and boiling sound. What can this be. Just to add the bike was not hot at all, actually it was running cool. Alright last thing guys, i appreciate your help. I went the my local motorports and asked for transmission oil, so i can change the run the shee had and they recommended me Gear Saver 80w. What do you guys use and your opinions. Thanks alot for your help and time. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 i grap the rear brake rotor and jerk it forward and backwards it tends to move or have some slack. Is this normal ? Your axle nuts are loose. This is not normal and they should be tightned. It takes a couple of 2" wrenchs or large adjustable wrenchs to do it correctly also noticed that when i grap the front tires and jerk them in and out towards the frame they twitch just a little The movement could be in your ball joints, bushings, or your front wheel bearings. Check again and see which is moving. my coolant bottle was empty and as the bike was off i could here the radiator like boiling inside. I went out and bought some more coolant, i drained the old and put in the new and again it just sucked it all and boiling sound. What can this be. Just to add the bike was not hot at all, actually it was running cool. If the bike was not hot, I would guess that you have a head gasket leak. Do a cooling system pressure test on the bike and see what it holds. However, if you do not have a temperature guage installed, I would bet that the bike was getting hot. I went the my local motorports and asked for transmission oil, so i can change the run the shee had and they recommended me Gear Saver 80w. What do you guys use and your opinions GS 80 is really good oil. I have used it before and would again if I needed to. However, of all the oils that I have used, AmsOil 4Stroke works the best for me. I get great clutch performance and love the way the bike shifts. Again, this is just opinion. Good luck on your repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
