Ah , we're from the same time zone ! I don't think they would have used a round retainer .. a lot of Japanese bikes used to use a round retaining ring w/a 90 on the end so you could get them off . the best method is a snap ring w/eyes on each end . Anyone that has worked on one of these can chime in and clarify . BTW There is no way that ring can out of the cylinder .

Did you paint it in place or pull it ?

I will never forget the first time I heard a gear drive set-up in a engine …. Yeow . I thought George Thorogood was inside of that V-8 !

Yes , I bought some things from them in the past . They were great . A motorcycle shop is a hobby you support and can't make a living from .

Wellll ,,,,, traditionally / historically , a gudgeon pin is the pin that holds the piston to the connecting rod . AKA , wrist pin . These were press fit , circlip and button retainer that held the pin in the piston . I'm not sure about this ?

did the carb cleaner get everything off ?

This screen is meant to keep large particles from entering the pump/hydraulic system . These particles , once they get into the system will damage the pump and attack the relief valve and any rotating parts that rely on pressurized oil for lubrication and clearance . If this pick-up is covered and smothers the supply , then you get no oil to the system and everything is destroyed . There are schools of thought that want no screens or similar coverings over the pick-up tube , Me , I like something over it .

biesel , that is one slick video !

It does , it's that thing you buy to go under the bike . $

I didn"t find it either ?

There needs to be more pics of the bikes or LESS

What year is the rear fender for ?

Are you wanting the cap only ? I may be able to hook you up if you want .

I thought someone had a source for one of these ?

Well , when something fails , is it the vendor or did RAM build them what they asked for ?

THIS racer needs to lose 50 lbs. off my a$$ .

It really hurts to see something this perfect destroyed .

If the stator is open it is bad . Whatever else is bad , needs to be diagnosed too

When you get this together and bled , pump the brakes a few ( 10) times and see if the brakes release and the wheel rotates freely and effortlessly . If not , see why .

Hmmmmm . No paperwork with the charger or no info on the company website ?

Fudge , it"s midnight or later where you are . disassemble and make absolutely sure you are putting this together correctly . I've never had one of these apart . Are you sure the spring goes in with the "shiny thing" outward ?

MMMMM. you have a point

Be happy you can still get them on !

Hmmm . 7mm exists . Try it. 9/32" in fraction.
