Offer too good to refuse!

Yeah just pull off the jug and take off wrist oin clip's and done. But I think it might need some bottom end work. I'm probably picking up the bike this weekend without the engine. We will get the engine which is already totaly stripped apart later on.

If its all torn down then you have no reason not to replace all the bearings and seals.

 

[jr dragster T]

Maybe finding all these seals and parts will be a issue. So far I have found the complete gasket kit which would make it pretty easy to replace every gasket but I have not yet found the bearing set.

 

[crazycart]

Lots of parts for these bikes.

And do all the tranny bearings need to be replaced?

 

[crazycart]

They do if there is play, or cant be turned easily, grinding, etc. If they are in good shape i wouldn't worry.

 

[jr dragster T]

Ok thank's. Hope to get the bike this weekend.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Bearings and seals are standardized stuff.

 

[jr dragster T]

Ok thx. I'm so exited to get this thing!

 

[crazycart]

Just wait till you ride it, I guarantee that you'll be a little frightened the first time you open it up. Expect the front wheel lifting off, lol.

 

[jr dragster T]

Lol wheelie bar. Is it hard to get the front end down?

 

[crazycart]

No, just ease the throttle and short shift it. You'll find out. They have a$$-kicking power.

 

[jr dragster T]

Short shift it to get the front end down?

 

[crazycart]

Yeah, before it hits the power band shift into the next gear. That's what i do with my 490, if i don't ill go over backwards. But then again the 490 has a lot more power than a 250.

 

[jr dragster T]

And the first time if I accidently find out where the power band is my main course will be a face full of dirt? Like how hard will it pull me off?

 

[crazycart]

Lol, just take it easy, you'll be fine. Its isn't like a light switch on and off power, its real smooth. I mean if you really hit it in first gear the bikes goin' straight up. That is if its got traction. Ive done it a few times on my IT200

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Just gradually beat it harder and harder till you find your limit(when things start feeling funny and you think OH ****!). ORVs in general are geared so low you can roll them around in top gear at 15mph, its the nature of the beast to pull a wheelie. 1st on my Kawi 250 is so low if I ease it to WOT it just revs and revs, wont go over maybe 15-20 mph.

I always found a heavy hoody and a helmet good enough for crash gear, falling off at 20mph doesnt hurt.

 

[jr dragster T]

Yeah I think I know what you mean. Like in first gear you can hear when it's going to flip like YINGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Just gradually beat it harder and harder

Whoaaa

 

[crazycart]

It wont just instantly flip, it will come up sorta slow. You'll find out when you get it goin.

 

[jr dragster T]

Ok I will learn. Sounds kinda like a Ontario licence plate where I live. "Yours to discover" I'm not sure if you have heard of this before but one time my freind's honda FL350 oddysey had a flooded crankcase full of fuel and it started diesel'ing and we event pulled the plug boot off and it kept going. Ever hear of this?
