clutch basket bush measurement
If someone has an 89 or newer clutch basket lying around could you possibly grab a vernier and measure the inside diameter of where the main bearing runs and let me know please. Thanks a lot

Is it possible to replace the bearing in a welded crank?
I have a welded crank that I want replace the big end bearing on. I spent good money having it balanced so I dont want to throw it out. Is it possible for a shop to mill the welds and press the pin out or is it a throw away?? Cheers

Thanks for the replys everyone, the 2 stroke tuning / timing thing is all new to me so I appreciate the info. Unfortunately I dont have many answers for you as I dont know anything about 2 stroke port timing etc. I bought the engine second hand and the porting was already done. I picked up a new pis...

Destroyed piston and barrel - with pics
This happened to me a few weeks ago while I was racing at finke. It must have been running damn lean to cause this I guess but the wierd thing is it ran a a peach on the 230klm run down and started fine the next day for the run back but only lasted 6klm. It all seemed to happen in about 5 seconds, I...

Hey scooter, sounds like george made a meal of yours if you had to rework it. I must have got a bit lucky as my motor bolted up ok. The welds are shit but huge so it shouldn't break in half. Small stuff like not using radius'd tubing is pretty poor too. I have powdercoated mine so it looks alot bett...

how did you come up with the 56% ??? when you get it finished let me know how it works I trawled forum's for ages and found someone that had used this figure in an AF and it was smoother through the midrange to top end. Apparently the stock cranks run between 59-62%. My engine is going into an 08 C...

Where to get a crank balanced?
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a place to have a 89 CR500 crank balanced? Unfortunately the place I sent mine to in Australia has vanashed from the face of the earth and taken my crank with them. Ideally I need a long rod crank supplied, rebuilt and balanced. Looking for a balance factor of...

Crank Balance Factor
Hi, can someone let me know what a good balance factor would be for my AF crank? Im going to get the crank balanced but have heard all sorts of numbers from 52% to 74%. If someone knows a figure that has worked well for them that would be good. The engine is an 89 model
