At some point the bike either overheated or did not have enough lubrication.... Please run GOOD oil and do not run that ridiculous mixtures some will tell you... 32:1 is what you want to run.... i would not run anything less (less oil).....

Chapter 3: Returning from Holiday >

I have taken some time off the project and got distracted with a kickass air-cannon and the HP2 Jamboree. So back to work...

Ok, so I have taken apart what I can on the motor. To split the case, I need 2 special tools, one of which I can make, the other will have to be bought. I am looking for a reason not to open it now. My big question:

Can I weld the broken casing and install new seals on the gear shaft&final drive shaft without splitting the case? Is it necessary to get eyes on the gears and other stuff inside?





I am thinking of just making a cap and welding it over the exposed hole. The clutch cam and pushrod meet one another here, so I cant interfere with the shaft holes.



Clutch still looks good and it is not a big job to replace if it turns out to be fooked.



Last night I started to put a couple of things back together...



... but I cant do much more until I have the answers to my burning questions (and I am still waiting for the new piston and rings).

I would def open it, just one good reason, to replace the main bearings.... They are cheap and worth replacing.... You only need to make one tool, I quickly made one up to open a cr years ago and still use it.... When you start to pull on the crank side, she will start to come apart.... No need for 2 tools... CR500 I have rebuild a lot, they dont come apart that difficult, some comes apart without tools, just n rubber hammer.....
