Well sorry for no pics gang, just VERY busy these past few weeks.
The end result of my topend rebuild is:
-My buddy and I put the newer clutch basket in (ty again ed!) and removed the judder springs. Clutch is like butter now and doesnt slam into gear. Also had a heck of a time getting the circlips on and the rings over the cyl. Stuff is STIFF and hard to work with..good ol cp. Also my piston had no arrow, first one I ever saw.. FYI large valve reliefs go to intake side I found out.
-Discovered why my welded case was leaking at the shifter shaft: Turns out there was a small pinhole from welding it there and of course I knew the seal was done. better than splinting the cases tho..100 bucks well spent at my welder. A new seal and some hi temp rtv in there to seal it, all good.
-Put some tokyo mods LTR springs in there, clutch pull is a bit harder but not extreme and it grabs better imho.
-I had trouble putting my exhaust back on, the pipe originally didnt want to come apart on disassemble so I had to use a hammer to "persuade it" Musta ever so slightly deformed the pipe as it wont go on nicely, no leaks tho. Got an exhaust pipe expander Im gonna give a shot in a day or two
-Motor has WICKED compression, as in kicking it over before was so easy a kid could do it and when you reached the bottom of the kick it either caught or you kicked again. Now its like 1 kick and when you reach the bottom it fires up with a WUMPH! Just riding around in my yard tells me that I need to gear the rear down for less torque, it wants to lift the front up with barely any throttle.Yea Im sure it has to do with the valves being in spec now and adjusting the decomp better...still wowza.
I havent rode it besides in my yard and on the road for a min or two.
1. Busy with work (worked 6 days this week and only had off on the 4th and thats when I put the quad together. Every other day Im working an early shift at work and I will not ride alone.
2. The jerk neighbor who hates us made a HUGE stink about me riding (he was drunk...again) in my yard. Ill elaborate anyone wants to hear.
Im hoping to ride either sat or sun this week, but my truck needs a timing belt and that takes priority..
