All 17- Engine cooling Like you said, if you get all the bottom DCT plastics or modify yours , why not? The rest look the same. If you get it for the same price go for DCT rad
- Engine cooling I admit it look rough but people install mesh guards that give the same effect, no? Also if the thermostat is stuck open wouldnt that cause slow warm up time and running cooler causing the bike not to reach working temp…
- Engine cooling Peter, I had exactly the same questions when I've got mine 10 months ago. Answer was 'she is a hot bitch' As long as you got 2or3 bars its all good. I found riding anything below 80km/h despite the ambient temperature…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Mohawk, 8/10/2021 at 10:21 AM I had a DRZ 400 SM new they are ace, great fun, but the vibes, plank seat & small tank not much good for distance work. With a KLR650 carb & DRZ-E model silencer (ha that's a joke) make it…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Naah thats alright. That guy from ebay is cool dude. He is running the show all by himself, busy man. He bought that engine (crashed bike) without noticing that the bottom half of the engine is hit by something with…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- I'm not sure if the short video of that used crank is visible, so here it is again Than crank is unusable. Thankfully I got full refund. Welding up the crank then cut back to size is no option anymore or at least for…
- VFR1200F DCT 2013 won't go in gear I used to have the same problem with my ctx700 dct. Purchase the bike without working gears. It wouldnt go to D with check engine light+abs light on. After doing self diagnostic with the service manual it leads to fault…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Thank you for all the replies. But I’m back to square one. Bad news : the new/used crank is no good. Under the black gunk on one of the main there is surface damage and I’ll return it back to the seller. Dunno what will…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- So I've got that used crank from the ebay link above. Its from crosstourer '15 but as per serial numbers they appear the same as '11 FD Plus I've got a deal on the complete set of conrods and their bearings, so placing…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- 13 hours ago, Mohawk So you say the crank lube oil way for #4 rod may have been the issue. Its a straight through drilling, was it blocked when removed the rod ? Where were the shells relative to each other when you…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- 2 hours ago, raYzerman For the cause of failure, there's an elephant in the room here... Your opening statements suggest you're hard on your machine. I think you should question the wisdom of going 250+ for 150km...…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- The oil I've put is Honda 10-30 . After all of this If I manage to put the bike together I will have a good thinking what oil to choose next. Maybe go again with 30 , or try 40 or even go some 'racing' 50s or 60s.…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- 5 hours ago, VFR78 How/why would that happen? Seeing the condition of the rest of the bearing (3 main and the rest of th 3 cyl 10/10condition) I can only explain to myself that it has oil starvation on the cyl.4 Maybe…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Magneto, 7/12/2021 at 5:06 AM I just checked calendar, yup still 2021. Thought is an old thread or something. With all the respect due to my English friends here, but buying 10 years old bike from England? Blokes, ride…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Cogswell, 7/10/2021 at 6:37 AM The clogging of the oil pump pickup is probably why it finally seized - just totally starved for oil. Wow . . . I'd be very unhappy, as well. At this point there's probably no more reason…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- 14 hours ago, Cogswell Sorry for your troubles. :sad: Someone had that happen to a 7th gen IIRC in Africa? some years ago, maybe 7 to 8 - anyway, he got another motor and swapped it. IIRC the bearings in that motor were…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- I know I've already post in one of the groups on fb but wanted to share my story here as well. Bought "fatty" 6 months ago, UK imported , true, unknown history, but the bike sounded and runned excelent 40 something km…
