Imp's rebuild

[impression]

Hey all.

so i've got my hands on another bike and working on it as we speak, went for a test run or two in the last 2 days ( clocked 150k's ) and with a top speed of 55.2km/h it's pretty quick ( 44tooth sprocket)

Now, i had an engine mount bolt shear off during a ride ( replace all bolts with good ones people) and i'm doing a complete engine and bike rebuild should be done by tomorrow afternoon

I'll have a few pics by then too

well, my bike was built with a few troubles, and 1 major problem still pending

prob 1. Clutch needed adjusting
prob 2. bike wouldn't start
prob 3. throttle stuck open
prob 4. bolt sheared off inside engine mount


Prob4 is a big issue and is still being looked at. prob 1-3 are fixed though and the bike is looking sweet.

With prob 4. I tried to use easy-outs, but in pre-drilling the hole for the easy-out to use, the drill bit in which i used for the 'pre-drill' hole, snapped and embedded itself inside the sheared bolt.

ok, prob 4 is fixed, and i picked up a larger engine anyway, it's all together and now just going to dismantle for the paintjob

The drill bit sheared off when making the entry for the easy-out?

Man, I'm sorry. Don't it always seem to go something like that?

But it sounds like you've got that sorted out. glad to hear it.

have fun.

well, another bolt sheared and replaced, and taking it to class for it's first real test run and it blew 2 exhaust gaskets :/

experimenting now with rubber mounting

OK rubber mounting is sweet.

got a new set of problems to deal with

Set up engine on new lightweight bike

1. Exhaust was fixed up with the help of stv1jzgte off these forums, thanks a heap mate

2. Thread stripped on the barrel for the exhaust mount :S


the stripped thread is the last problem before she's all sweet i believe
