LowRyter Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 *#$%!.....you guys, if I am not confused and stressed enough.... saw that so I redid all my calculations... 8 kg-m = 78 NM = 58 Lb-ft.. then I reread that you did the same. and with my Harbor Freight torque wrench if it's within 5 lb I'll be surprised. Probably just keep it on 60. And for the side stand too. You should see me use a vacuum cleaner tube as a cheater bar. Until I can get use of bike stand, I am saved from myself. I need to call Mr Nevada now.
czakky Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Do it! We’re here for you brother! Seriously not that bad
Chuck Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I need to call Mr Nevada now. Mr. Nevada and Skate would have you fixed up in no time..
LowRyter Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks CZakky. I need to score a work stand, I have two buddies and two shops that have them. I am just glad I didn't attempt it in the garage and found out the kick stand needed to come off..... and then the whole bike would be balanced on some kind of brick under the engine. The seal is on order, so I'll have to figure it out. It's just a matter of planning and wrenching. I just need to find a stable workplace where I can level the bike and lock the rear wheel (2 ratchet straps on a wheel spoke, zip tie on the rear brake, locked in gear and maybe a 2x4 in the swingarm). It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Chuck Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 All you need is a lawn tractor and a rope thrown across a rafter..
LowRyter Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 All you need is a lawn tractor and a rope thrown across a rafter.. that's more equipment than I have now. And think about it Skate and The Great One are out & about and having a ball. Maybe they know what they're doing? They might have more fun doing shit than we have talking about it.
docc Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 no one, I mean "No One" can possibly have more fun than we do talking about things as mundane as oil leaks. 1
footgoose Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 There is a some movement (stress) between engine and front support. When you install front support back it maybe need to lift engine a bit (1-2mm) -KG-Momentteja_2.jpg Ha! when I pulled the motor last year to change the clutch, one of those bolts was missing! Loosened and fell out some months before . Scud sent me another and I loctited it and honked down on the wrench BTW, it did not seem to affect motor alignment.
LowRyter Posted April 11, 2018 Author Posted April 11, 2018 looks like my bike has a bad seal as well as the timing cover gasket. Pretty much what's been reported here.
LowRyter Posted May 11, 2018 Author Posted May 11, 2018 no leaks so far. Timing cover gasket and seal replaced. On the other hand, the bike left me stranded. Have a new regulator now, and a flickering neutral light and the thing wanted to die when leaned over on the sidestand for no apparent reason But so far, a clean motor.
