Anyone have the problem with the bikes jumping in and out of gear, this is an 03 black bird with 69k on it. I haven't check the clutch or the rod for the clutch lifter yet.
-
I would start with the cam chain tensioner. There cheap and Easy to replace. It sounds like mine did when I changed motors out.
-
Great info Stan.

Sorry I haven't been able to post School is keeping me busy . I found a machine shop that can get the bolt out by electrical destruction. Not sure what that means but for now im going to swith the heads out till i can afford to have them do the work on it. I was going to work on the bike and get some pictures on Thursday but we had a good storm and i got water in the basement. I will post pictures as soon as i can.

Left hand drill bit.
A little more thought leads me believe you should be able to remove the VALVE HEAD COVER without much trouble (no tilt needed) then the broken bolt with a lot of work using vice grips. Keep several cold six packs handy and plug the kid’s ears.
How about a picture?
Good Luck!
Mike
I'll post a picture. I already tried the left hand drill bit. I needed to tilt the motor to get to the bolt.
-
New problem. My EzOut broke which never happens to me. Any Ideas on how to get the bolt out now ?
-
sweet thanks
-
Alright I have an oil leak comming from the cylinder head cover. It appears that I over torqued a bolt up there
. So i need to gain a better angle so i can drill and easy out the bolt. Is it possible to just drop the exhaust and unbolt the front of the motor from the frame and tilt it down?
-
Well the cycle is back up and running for now
-
Im looking to get $80 or best offer for this part + shipping. I do not have the wiring harness for it.

Check your valve timing. Section8 in the manual.
If this was a drag motor it could have been changed or You may not have stock cams.
+1
I have read on up on them. I don't know if i can do this one. It will cost 300 to have it taken care of by the pro's

Make sure the intake manifold clamps are tight on both the head and carb ends.
They require being tightened a little more than spec as they harden with age...
IT IS RUNING. But not like it should be. It will not idle. It reminds me of my harley I use to own in that way.
Valves need to be adjusted Which I am not going to do. I will be sending it in to the shop for that.

does it turn over?
does it have spark? if it turns over.
does it have compression?
It does turn over. It has good compression. I will have to check for spark. Im assuming it would have spark since I used my coils.
The head gasket Gaged the same thickness from the blown motor to the other one.
I just went out and bought new plugs. Im going to change them and hope for the best.
How would i check the timming?
Well that is going to be a little harder, but a timing light will work with a induction pickup.
When you pull the plugs stick one in the coil wire and touch it to some metal and turn over looking for a spark first, or just hold it and see if it shocks you....
Also, a little gas sqirted in the carbs will deal with gas flow problems,
Check that alll your plugs are connected well. On top of the motor. Nothing pinched. by the frame, and motor. Make sure that you have put the plug wires on the right plug. And that the correct coil wire is to the + side of the coil. Got the ground wire on the frame and starter tight.
I forget is it carbed or Fi.
check all your fuzes including the one under the red cover...
I'm working on changing the plugs right now. I did get it to run for a few sec's. First three plugs are WET. Which is not a problem I bought new plugs just neglected to put them in
Well changed the pluged and now it seems to want to start even more. I will work on it alittle later dinner time

nothing to it. I have pulled mine replaced the trans and replaced the motor in 8 hours, by my self. Good thing cause if anybody had come over I would never had got it done.
Proud of you guys...
Well It would have been sooner but we had some people come over.
There is a new problem the bike doesn't want to run.
I have checked the following
1 all electrical connections
2 vacum line is correct
3 pulled a fuel line to make sure fuel was flowing. IT IS
Anyone one else have ideas
-
And 8 hours later
[
The motor is in the bike and everything is hooked up.
We turned the motor over. Tomorrow will be the day I fire it I hope.
-
almost there!!
hopfully tonight i can put it in.
-
I think that is aftermarket and adjustable in the new one and that is ign...Cam sensor is up top on the head.
Well Im going to try to change it so it fits my wiring harness
Just bolt the old cover on and use the trigger plate from the old bike.
There's no point in switching the sensor to the other cover.
I did that already. the motor is sitting there waiting to be reinstalled.
-
That's a dual sensor pulse generator.
I'd say you bought a dragbike motor

Now i just have to get the motor back in the bike torque the clutch basket down and the drive sproket on the motor and I should be on the way to firing it up
Bike pops in and out of 4th gear
in The Garage

It pops out when throttle is applied. If I let off it will jump back in to gear.
Splitting the case is not what I wanted to hear. However, I just happen to have an extra motor and trans sitting in my house.
