I had the same problem with the pods, I cut a window on the internal lip large enough to leave the diaphgram port free to breath and then resealed everything with some glue. I have two huge, open exhausts and I'm using #165 main jets. The color of the plug is perfect. Going from cold...

myoldyamaha has them! Than you very much!

IP used to make a 5W40 called "SBK"...I used to use it on the zx-6r and I liked it (just like the Motul V300 but at a 50% price) but now I'm not able to find it anymore. Q8 has a 0W50 for motorbikes apparently but I've never seen it anywhere

I doubt it...when I looked for piston rings I found out they had the same code of the sohc except the first three letters (12R instead of ... I don't remember). Seems like Yamaha uses a pattern like: Model - Part type - XXX so the same part would have an almost identical code but be totally...

Yes I remember the website I think they had the part listed for the sohc but none for the dohc...:banghead: regarding the size, you mean the color-code? Yes that's boring, I can't know which one I need until I don't open the cases.

yes I did, but on every website I visited it's marked as available for the sohc and not available for the dohc...Yamaha itself says there are no more bearings for the dohc while instead they have for the sohc. If it was the same why not listing it? Other parts for the dohc are in common with...

I read the whole discussion and I feel like it should be pointed out that a vital factor for the engine is not the price/quality of the oil but the frequency of the change. Given for sure that it has to be a motorbike oil and it has to be of decent quality (read: semi-synt no thanks) I would...

Nope thanks, just checked. They have only one size left and just two of them, same problem for con rods big ends. Funny, it's full of bearings for the counter shaft :banghead:

12R-11416-20-00 I googled and sent a couple of emails, the answer was not positive :(

Hello, I'm about to start the rebuild of another engine (DOHC) and I'm worried about the crankshaft bearings. Yamaha doesn't produce them anymore. Does anyone knows where to find an aftermarket alternative? I haven't open the engine yet so I don't know sizes and specs....I'm just doing a...

+1 and put the old seal between the new one and the pipe when pushing.

Failing means the spring stops pushing and it won't advance the shaft anymore. There is no way it can go back once it's installed, even removing the spring. The only way to send the shaft back in is to remove the spring, lift the small "tooth" facing the chain and pushing the shaft back in. If...

I lived behind the library...if you ever saw a CRF 450 chased by police, that was me...I've been there from mhm...2010 to 2012. The idea for that bike is cool but the result is a bit raw in my opinion...too many cables and wires around. I do share the same monoshock though. With my XS I...

G'day mate, the tank is painted in a very noble rust finish...meaning it's not painted at all. I'm currently working on the new tank, identical to that one but in better conditions. I tried to restore the one in the pic but it's too ruined and I found another one on ebay for cheap. I'll do...

There are a few things to sort out (the angle of the mufflers absolutely first) but that's pretty much it

Problem solved, mystery unveiled. I checked the fuel filter and it was dirty again, looked inside the tank and rust has come back in the month I had to leave the bike in a humid wooden shed, low on fuel. I cleaned the carbs again and again but this time I also replaced the fuel line and the...

are you serious? Is that where all this discussion is coming from? You read the post and what you got was "He's asking what a whit plug means". In first place: I didn't ask "why I have white plugs" because the answer would be pretty obvious. Second: I tried to explain to your big ego person why...

Well the thing about "nobody ever did" is true until somebody does it, and that's pretty general. As I wrote before the idea was given me but a guy who should know better otherwise I'd be very surprised how he could made a career in this business. http://www.galassetti.it/ Regarding your last...

So, I come here asking why my plugs are white despite of the big jets, but really the dark truth is I want to misguide people and give wrong information. That makes sense. This is the only valid explanation otherwise why asking for a sound clip. No seriously, you want to judge how a cut spring...

There seems to be some big ego issues here.... I posted about a white spark plug. Somebody asked about the springs and you labeled my answer as "non factual". I told you to try for yourself if you want to talk about facts. You replied that you're not going to "ruin your carbs" and I answered...
