Dont forget to replace your clutch actuator arm bearings in the left side crankcase. I dont think the wrench rabbit kit includes them. At least they didnt when i bought mine for my 98 250. Cant wait to see the build complete.

This is such a great video, so helpful in so many ways, thank you Cameron! Safety tip - those cases have razor sharp edges. I clipped an artery on my finger once while cleaning one, and now use mechanics gloves whenever working around them, especially with a high speed machine.

I ordered my first polishing wheel and let me say this is the BEST thing I have ever used to polish my aluminum parts . It takes years of tarnish and corrosion off in seconds leaving a like new luster . I also purchased the buffing wheel for a drill to reach hard parts and it works fantastic ! I highly recommend the products and very quick order processing I received on my purchase .

Great video, Thanks! Not sure if this has been mentioned already but when you run into what appears to be Phillips screws on a Japanese product don't use a Phillips screwdriver because they are not Phillips. They are in fact JIS screws (Japanese Industrial Standard) They have a different form to them than Phillips. While Phillips are designed to cam out JIS is not, but use a Phillips driver on a JIS screw and they they will bugger up the screw. Best way to ID a JIS screw is to look for a dot on the screw head. Although JIS screwdrivers are hard to find the impact drivers usually save the day. Hope this helps those who wonder why Japanese screws always get trashed when removing them with a known good Phillips driver.

@governator45 6 жыл бұрын

A cheapo trick to get by is to buy a harbor freight #2 phillips and grind the tip back a bit. It allows for more contact on the screw. Then buy some JIS drivers.

I'm completely restoring my '03 KTM450EXC soon, and will be using your engine cleaning techniques, but I'll be going one step further. So that I don't have to do all that polishing a 2nd, or even 3rd time, I'll be cleaning all my polished areas with acetone, then coating it all with a High Temp "Clear" ceramic coat, baked twice to cure, so my bike comes back to looking brand new after every wash!

The method i usually use to get a “perfectly” flat surface on gasket surfaces is to buy a sheet of fine grit usually 400-600. Wet it with wd-40 as opposed to soapy water and secure the sandpaper to the flattest surface you can find(the real reason i bought the wife a granite countertop)

Even though I work on smaller engines, such as Zenoah's I've got a spare toaster oven that I can heat aluminum parts up in evenly to about 130-150F and then just freeze the bearing and the leiden frost effect will let them drop right in and will burn off quickly.

@michaelwooding5407 6 жыл бұрын

For difficult to reach areas buy a length of bowden cable, cut into 3 inch pieces and tape together. 7 is a good number to retain flexibility while allowing pressure to be applied. I also always finish off with 400 grit wet and dry whenever using steel wire on ali otherwise the finish is just a series of scratches.

@jothain 6 жыл бұрын

Neat trick for those blind hole bearings. Put heavy grease inside them, stuff paper in axle hole and hammer that paper, remove it, put more grease and repeat . You will create quite surprising amount of hydraulic pressure and you can remove bearing without blind hole puller tool. I've used this multiple times and I know it sounds incredible to many, but this really works when done properly.

@lesfox2010 6 жыл бұрын

It was the way (don't know if they still do) mechanics used to remove pilot bearings from flywheels/cranks. Get a solid bar that fits snugly in the hole, fill the hole with grease and tap the shaft in. Bearing is forced out.

@evangriffith8836 6 жыл бұрын

For all those who don’t have a blind bearing puller, find a flat end punch close to the inner diameter of the bearing. Take single ply toilet paper and wet it keep packing and hammering in. Bearing pops right out
