Looking for a main axle in good condition. 306-17411-03. Must be the late version to match my gear sets. The late version looks like the top one pictured.... You can see the difference at the clutch end. I live in New Zealand but have a proxy address in Portland so it can be shipped there...

Hi All Got a complete eBay transmission here I bought cheap that I was going to keep as a spare but now I'm thinking of using. To me, everything looks pretty good. Good gears, good bearings, all threads good. However I noticed a small chip on a tooth of the main axle when I took it all...

Hey guys. Anyone out there ever replaced the inner bushing on a fork lower (the teflon coated one)? Got a nicely polished lower that has a bushing where the teflon looks a bit worn. There has to be a better way than shopping around for an entire replacement lower and discarding an otherwise...

Hey Team Any one out there have experience with aftermarket fork tubes? EMGO, Ja-Hon, Mikes? They may all be the same.... Did the chrome hold up ok? Fit right without leaks etc? My originals are straight but finish is getting a bit worn. cheers ;)

Got a freshly blasted motor. Did it 6 months back but stored it boxed while i organised some parts. Im getting ready to rebuild it now. Here's the thing. You read a lot that vapour blasting has a subtle peening effect that seals that surface and helps it last 'raw'. That's cool. But i...

SOLVED Sorry if this is a stupid question. Running some parts through my home made washer. I discovered an unaccounted for dowel pin in the dark dark sludge. I had been cleaning my oil pump parts and the respective case. Its one of part 5 & 13 on the crap boats.net microfiche attached. One...

Hi Guys Working away on an old basket case motor rebuild. Removed the shift fork assembly and i found some interesting / concerning wear. :wtf: There is this obvious crack in the case. It's not gone right through, but it has distorted the case where it protrudes near the front sprocket and...

Hi Guys Got a spare 447 motor i have decided to rebuild. I wasn't planning on doing the bottom end but when i pulled the starter i found some broken gear teeth. Got a really nice replacement gear box so I've decided to totally tear it down. I noticed the small ends of the rods look...

Hi Guys Anyone know the weight of a 447 crank assembly (no rotor) give or take? Thanks:thumbsup:

Ez guys After doing some work under the left side cover, one of the threads partially collapsed. I use a torque wrench with a little anti-seize to 6ft/lbs so I'm not over tightening. The PO did however run a shorter 15mm bolt than the normal 22mm bolt for god knows how long in that one thread...

Hi Guys Ive fitted a new front sprocket, rear sprocket (all standard) and chain. Noticed a light tack tack tack or whirring noise when the wheel spins. Checked the wheel alignment using the old school string method and adjusted it accordingly. Checked chain wasn't too tight (20mm or so free...

Is there a particular alignment needed for the brake operating arm onto the cam? There don't seem to be any obvious marks on the cam shaft, and when i got my bike the rear wheel assembly was half in boxes. Rebuilt it all a while ago with new bearings, powder, shoes etc and gave it a good...

Hi Guys Apologies for the basic question but i just want confirmation. Ive never done a full electrical layout before sooooo....What stuff typically goes on electrics board? Space is limited and i made custom plate that mounts under the seat. I just want to make sure i havn't overlooked any...

yoooooooo Just looking at getting some new bar controls for a build. I'd like to get something nice, not some cheap pitt-bike rubbish. Dime City Cycles seem to have some ok ones. Ive been trawling through Webike but that site is hard work. Im thinking about using some re-pro 74 KZ900...

So in my custom build i initially had the coil hidden just below the tank by welding in some little standoffs. A bit of a redesign of the way the tank sits means i can't hide it there any longer. Im considering making and welding some tabs so it sits in front of the motor. Thing is, its not...

Hi guys I need to know the torque value for the front sprocket. My SH supplementary manual specs 47 lbf ft. In the back of my mind i thought it was up near 80, so i got out my Haynes manual & sure enough it specs: XS650 UK - 79 XS650D US - 72-87 (so about 80) XS650E US - 36...

Im sure this has been asked before, but i can't find the thread. Can anyone id this tank. it looks a bit like one of the 'Alien' tank but the tunnel seems deeper. Im trying to find a tank with similar dimensions and tunnel depth to a classic peanut but a little longer. Thanks in advance.

So i finally came to re-assemble my rear hub. All new brake components, powder coat, chain and sprockets etc. However when i was chasing the threads on the hub before fitting the new sprocket, i discovered one of the bolts has sheared off about half way down. I guess there is about 10mm of...

So as the title says, my pushrod seal is weeping a bit. No idea how old it is (its red not black though). I have another seal here so i could replace it. My question is: Since im going in there should i replace the bushing and install a one piece rod? Or is that something that i should IF...

Went to replace my needles and needle jets. The old ones were pretty snug, a light tap and push and out they came. The new ones however, one of them fits soft snug the other is so loose it falls out unless held in by the main jet and washer. Is this gonna be a problem?
