hodnettjj 0 Posted July 22, 2012 I coordinated to drop off my stuff to Suspenders tomorrow... I choose to re-grease the steering head and rear swing arm while everything was torn apart... Top tip: of you drop your rear cushion lever it will rain needle bearings everywhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted July 22, 2012 After you put grease in those bearings they won't rain out on you again. Pretty sad that the Manufacturers put so little grease in the bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goofy Footer 539 Posted August 16, 2012 Any updates? What was the cause of the motor failure? Did you get your suspension done? Have you been out riding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodnettjj 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Any updates? What was the cause of the motor failure? Did you get your suspension done? Have you been out riding? Motor has been with Sisneros Motosports since Jul 19th. It took them about a week to get to tear it down. When they called to discuss the rebuild I was busy processing a Kid into the Brig... So I didn't think to ask them about the cause. When I called back a week later I was told they were awaiting a few parts and he would ask Eddie about the failure means and note it in the record. I haven't had a chance to call them this week. I still think it was some complications of oil starvation and high rpm. As far as the suspension... I had Suspenders do it up. The Front Forks and Rear shock are installed. I re-packed the steering head and rear swing arm bearings. Cleaned the oil screen... That's about it... I haven't been street riding on the weekend in an effort to offset this $1900 (engine and suspension)cost... So far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodnettjj 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Motor is in and running smooth. Topped off the oil and anitfreeze. I had a few oil drips after a quick 2-3 mile ride. I figure it may take a few cycles for the seals to get seated. If all looks good, I will be looking to head out Sunday.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodnettjj 0 Posted August 24, 2012 where is the oil dripping from? It was hard to tell last night.. But looked to be in the area of the lower oil line attach point, countershaft seal, gear shift lever, & the sensor just in front of the shift lever. It was late when I got done. I'll clean it up and get a good op check. There was a very small puddle of fresh oil under that area this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
