forced rebuild... my rebuild ....

[450R]

Cool.... How much was that starter?... and was your old starter really bad?

 

Did it used to turn the engine over too slowly?

the starter its here: http://www.immortalatv.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=149 half the price of the oem one...

 

 

and no, i have the http://www.dirtworksmotorsports.com 24V kit. so its starts super quick.

 

but the problem was that it was leaking oil into it... had that "fixed" and later it was getting stuck. had a quick "fix " while in San Felipe but then the engine seize so i migth as well replace it.

Oh... I never heard of oil getting into the starter... Interesting.

 

I had also thought of building a 24v kit but ended up just making a battery box under the seat and getting rid of the stock one hanging off the left side of the subframe. I went with a bigger 12v battery and my bike seems to turn over much better... But I would think the 24v system is way better at starting the bike.

For what an oil pump costs.. just change it anyway.. I did on my last build and I had no shavings.. just a little extra insurance..

[ridingred]

[El Mamito USMC]

dude that oil is black, how long was it in there

 

For 5 days, of turture... I thougth since it was syntechtic would last longer, similar to a car, boy I was wrong..

It protects better than regular oil but the change intervals are the same...

 

Hey leason learned,plus I was over filling the oil resevoiur and now I know the proper amount I need to add.

[chronicsmoke]

Any updates, Mamito?

 

Yes I just don't have the laptop to upload the pics.. engine fully open and just waiting on the oil pump and the crank case splitter.

what was your conclusion? just running bad oil? I don't think the oil would cause the crank to fail like that, usually running bad oil tends to have negative effects elsewhere prior to just blowing a crank. Also how many hours did you have on the oil? Besides most of us guys that are anal about changing ever 5-10 hours i see 450's out there running 20-30 hours on the same oil without even thinking about it.

Firts we run the quad on the same brand new oil for 5 days for about a no BS 5-6 hrs total but full throttle.. and I mean 5th gear fly by on the beach to running away from cops ...

 

And the problem started by putting extra oil in the engine, it created aeration and that created air spots which eventually created hot spot in the crank bering.. and it was a few months of aeration that caused the failure...

 

Now I know the actual ammount I need to use so it won't happen again

[ridingred]

so you over filled or did not have enough oil?
