Post by: Rupp250 on July 17, 2013, 11:36:21 AM: Thought about it sitting in the the toy hauler in the storage yard. Looked on Powder By The Pound for something that matches what I want to do.

Does that count?

Post by: Tbone07 on July 17, 2013, 11:40:28 AM: Re-seated the beads on my HiPers, both front were leaking but now i've got em nice and even and torqued properly.

Next is to figure out why my shift shaft seal is leaking tranny oil like a sieve. Brand new seal and no wear grooves in the shaft?????

May be just a bad seal from the git go?? Mine leaks also...but it was a used motor.

Is the shift shaft bent? If you put a new seal in try putting sealer in the boss before you install the seal into it.

Post by: nico on July 17, 2013, 02:56:06 PM: All I did was order some new Steamline brake lines and a TM Designworks Super Protector for the 86's new +4 swingarm. I have been thinking about machining my own swingarm guard out of Delrin though... Maybe this weekend, I can have the 330R and 450R up and going.

I had one do that. My problem was the hole was egged out where the shift actually comes thru the case. New seal would not fix this even with some sealer on it. The shift shaft would move around too much in it's bore. I took a good punch when the seal was removed and peened around the shift shaft on the aluminum to tighten it up. If that makes sense. It worked for me.
Title: what did you do to your R today?
Post by: Pumashine on July 18, 2013, 01:55:13 AM: Yes, that makes sense. You cold formed the egg shape back to round to support the shift shaft. If the surface the seal goes into is broken or has been repaired the seal just spreads the crack open allowing the thin tranny oil to come through. Sometimes can be fixed, but sometimes the motor has to come out.

Post by: Sky on July 18, 2013, 12:19:30 PM: I just received my new chain slide, lower slide and new case saver and chain. All of which were destroyed last weekend when the chain slide jammed between the front sprocket, chain and case saver. Bent the lower case saver bolt but cracks the case!! Sooooo close to cracking case holes for the case saver bolts. Hopefully the new one piece will do better than the jaws style that wraps around the swing arm.
So now time to assemble and get ready for Silver Lake on the 27-28.

Title: what did you do to your R today?
Post by: Rman on July 19, 2013, 12:13:29 AM: Still fighting ignition issues. It runs fine, I put the oem back in. It pulls the same times with the oem that it pulls with the CR, but I only use 2nd 3rd and 4th with the oem, I have to hit 5th right before the finishline with the CR. I think the CR spins it out with so much mid/top hit, and the traction (from lack of power) with the oem makes up the difference so the times stay the same. Paddles on the way tho!!

Post by: jamieg45 on December 18, 2013, 10:00:21 AM: Let's see, I have been testing get stators. Messed up the flywheel nut and the threads on the crank, will be fixed today. Got a esr cr adapter plate so I hope to be getting the whole ignition installed when the plate comes in. Took the stator covers off both R's to re polish them. And I will update when I have other things I have done getting closer to the July silver lake trip.

sent my crank off with my brother to have the new proX rod pressed into the stock cr500 crank. last tuesday I shipped off my cases to Adam Millar at MRE to have the TWIRP port job started on. Hope to have this R back up and running around 1st of the year if things go smooth

i have not done business with MRE, but i almost had him do a decomp head for me. from what ive seen those guys can probably do good work..

no probably about it. MRE did the decomp head i have and it is freaking perfect. The pics of work i have seen posted online for the TWIRP port jobs i am having done is immaculate. Cant say enough good things about MRE, Adam has been awesome to do business with so far and spends anytime you need texting and talking over the phone

yes, apparently there are no TRXs around Houston or TX in general - they are either 1) beat to hell, 2) 86 models, or 3) crazy expensive. My last 4 race quads have been from Minnesota, New Jersey, NY, and this one is in Las Vegas. its kinda sketchy throwing down $$ for a quad unseen in person, but so far its worked out

Actually I used a 4" grinder with a cutoff wheel, worked great. Getting a swing arm bolt from pumashine & a bearing kit from turftamer, after that a serious cleaning, inspection & reassembly & it'll be ready to live. We got it in june last year & haven't ridden it yet. The previous owner hadn't ridden it since 2008 so my ocd kicked in & I had to tear it down to the frame to check it out prior to it's first ride & it's a good thing I did, on 5 of the a-arm bolts I removed the nuts by hand:neglected:.... & it's not because I'm super strong.

Post by: jamieg45 on March 10, 2014, 11:27:43 PM: Ok i finally got some motivation with the nice 55° weather we had today. I tried a few more things on spiritaces spiritshine build with the cr ignition. But still no spark, so I took that off and I will try my good stock ignition to fire her up. I also popped out my junk ball joints on the walsh preparing for my new ones done by white chassis. I also got my polished front and rear calipers back together and ready to install on the lsr. Gonna get a throttle polished by race reflections and have him finish my lsr rear hubs too and then the lsr will be done for now. Until I get the money up for a 370 4 mil spynx motor for the dunes for her.
And I'm trying to figure out if I want any colors on my seat cover from fourwerx or just do a jet trim seat cover. And then my +2+1 chrome stem for the walsh and my shocks. Lots to do and the new job is helping a ton.

Pretty much got it ready to race March 22nd at Podium One Motoplex for the start of the Crosley outdoor mx series. Probably wash the truck today and check all the bolts front to back on the R so all I have to do is load up and roll out.

Post by: 86Rrider on April 02, 2014, 06:57:28 PM: OK, not today, but over the past week end I did my top-end rebuild. Or I should say I did it, then took it back apart again because I got the wrong piston from Wiseco. Darnedest thing, the box has the same exact label as the box of the piston I took out of the engine. Even has the same part number stamped in the dome of the piston. But you set the 2 next to each other and they look nothing alike. I'm guessing this piston got mis-marked at Wiseco. The intake side of the piston looks nothing like the one I took out and the wrist pin hole is almost a 1/4" closer to the ring lands than the one I took out. That is the part I did not catch until I put the jug on and rolled the engine over and it stuck! Piston skirt made contact with the crank throws.

Called them yesterday, return label e-mailed to me and replacement one shipped yesterday as well. So guess what I'll be doing this week-end?

Post by: Victork on April 21, 2014, 09:05:41 PM: Maybe you got the wrong one but i know sometimes they change designs and you get a different piston. Ive gotten some with holes for oil and fuel to pass through on the exaust bridge and some not. I remember when the R pistons werent enforced on the intake side with those ridges and then receiving the newer style piston. Man those old style pistons would crack on the skirt all the time

I'm getting it ready to swap the top end off my bike over to the spare engine so I can at least have something to ride this summer. I just hope the bottom end holds up.
Title: what did you do to your R today?
Post by: broken1 on May 04, 2014, 03:02:45 PM: I got this engine last winter to have a spare set of cases but decided to clean it up & use it in my bike instead. The cases are in good shape but the engine looked pretty rough. It had a thick sludge coating of exhaust residue, oil, dirt, sand & red, silver & blue paint overspray. I cleaned it all up & pulled the cylinder & side covers. I found that the piston had been seized & moisture had gotten into the stator side. I got all the corrosion cleaned out of the stator side & pulled the clutch cover & everything under there looked really good, the clutch basket shows surprisingly very little wear so now I just need to swap top end's & side covers & put the mill back in my bike & I'm ready to hit the sand for the first time in 2 years.

This is the engine from my bike. I did some extensive port work to it in 2012 & only got 2 rides out of it before it started popping out of third everytime I got it up on the pipe. The bottom end hasn't been touched for a long time & it's finally time to pull it apart. The last time it was apart was in 1990 when I had to replace the crank from a lower rod bearing failure. The bottom end held up for 22 years of hard dune thrashing & hill racing! That is a testament to the quality that Honda put's into these bikes.

Post by: Tbone07 on May 08, 2014, 10:52:02 AM: Took the bike to HMF, which is about 2 miles from my work. Got the stinger on my LED 350G pipe bent so it wouldn't hit my no-link rear shock (should have told Arlan what frame I had). It's so nice to have them close, and especially to have a good riding friend who works there.

Also had my buddy make me a rotor guard, this thing looks beefy and should take some serious abuse.

Took the motor out to fix the crack and found the bolts were loose and that caused two more cracks and wobbled out holes. I also took the topend off to do a new piston.

Got the pro-x 310 on today.
the good, Its on and passed leak down.
The bads, I'm thinking 1 head stud is stripped. It torqued down to 19 and seemed to only spin after that, time restraints mean its probably staying how it is for the moment depending on whats going on after the break in, keeping an eye on it and parking it if something goes wrong during the trip.
The paint didnt take very well and has chipped in a few spots. Its also staying as is, ill probably powder coat it when i have it all down next time.

After some investigation, I thought I could see bearing on the sprocket side. So I pulled the axle out quick and sure enough, carrier bearing everywhere lol. Luckily had a few spares :) back on, ready to Ricky ride hard!

Post by: Pricecheck on July 17, 2014, 08:25:24 AM: It wasn't today I did work but a couple of days ago I decided to tinker with the hybrid. Yfz motor sits 3/8" lower than frame so I have to box out the frame for protection. Mocked up an engine cradle so I can fab some motor mounts. Also cleaned up all of the unused mounts. Then I trimmed up the stock cdi mount and fabbed it to accept the yfz cdi and rectifier thing. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/17/yve7eba7.jpg)
Not complete but I extended the mount to fit the rectifier and thinned the top plate to allow the cdi to attach. FYI.... I'm calling the black box thing the cdi. Maybe it's a distribution box.

Post by: Pricecheck on November 03, 2014, 02:18:49 AM: After blowing my motor and finding a crack at the lower motor mount I decided to order one of Tony's complete gusset kits.

Today I started cutting off all of the unneeded mounts and tabs and came up with a plan to mount my rear shock reservoir behind the radiator, mount the cdi and coil under the tank behind the radiator, minimize the petcock mount since I'm not using a head stay and reroute my radiator overflow hose to just above my pipe so when it overflows it'll steam.

Pics aren't too descriptive but you'll see the raw metal spots as I made progress. I'll have to repowder after it's all complete.

After the vin picture was taken i reduced the size of the plate so it can fit in the spot shown. The whole stock reservoir mount will be removed as will the stock tool box mount.

It isn't easy sometimes. I have a on-going list on what needs to be fixed on each one. One good thing is though when one breaks you can still ride!

Post by: Pricecheck on November 04, 2014, 12:29:53 AM: As much as I debated on welding tonight, I still did some. Not happy with my welding due to me not getting the frame completely clean in the first areas. It'll def hold though.
Here's my vin tab welded up (doesn't need to be strong) and a pic of my coil/cdi/ground/rad overflow hose. The cdi will be zip tied in place using the two brackets it rests on. The tab next to it is for the ground. This will keep all of my wiring tidy.

The 15's just happened to be stacked outside the garage when I made the stove so figured that was a better use than yard art hahah

There's another husky just ran outta room on that post. Most of the stihls are from my old man when he logged in the 80s. Gonna Swap the post behind the 70 for a bigger one to put more saws in here soon.

70s are getting harder to find locally worth picking up. I think i paid $150 for mine but recently bought a tank seatcover and tires then powder coated most of mine.
The flat track trike classes locally are huge so them guys are snatching them up quick.

My cousin keeps buying all the old saws he comes across to put in the post.
Stihls and huskys were bought by me or the old man. But the others were basically given to me to throw in there. I told him the only thing is they all gotta run hahah a ton of saws that are never used but a conversation piece
