Joe that bike is running extremely lean. Idk how you can't tell. You run it down the street, pull in the clutch, and the idle is sky high. Watch your 500cc banshee suzuki build video before you blew it up. It did the exact same thing.

@jameshimself1018 2 года назад

I'd recommend finding a new clutch basket, with a gap that big those clutch plates will be slamming harder than before and if will create some big ole grooves faster than before. Great videos!

@bananabrooks3836 2 года назад

Its a customer bike, the clutch basket expense was probably outside the agreed scope of work and an unexpected large cost.

@charlesgraham9954 2 года назад

u working on the clutch basket reminded me of my grandfather. back in the mid 70s he took a clutch off of a dirt-bike and modified it to work on a mini-bike with a Briggs. i believe this is why i watch ur channel. the channel and u remind me of being a kid smelling 2 stroke engines. my GF had a small engine repair shop. back then, people got things fixed, now everything is through away. keep up the good work, and thank u for ur time.

@terrenceolivido741 Год назад

yeah, i praised the hell out of the kid. also, love the smell of a little exhaust. this kid is so talented and dedicated and he is an inspiration to a lot of young people. it's a hard slog, but he shows them it can be done. A few will go on to become real mechanics, not just parts replacers. to have that kid just go back and solve these potential heart-breaking engine shut-downs and the flywheel nut etc., wow. he is really a hero - a good example for other young people who need role models like this.

@MM_in_Havasu 2 года назад

That clutch basket is junk, man. I'd have ordered/sourced a new one, that will cause major grief in the long run with a huge gap where the clutch plates live. Great video, glad you got shifting sorted out! Thanks Joe!

@terrenceolivido741 Год назад

Well, the client wanted to go ahead - for the moment - with the clutch modification. i think a pretty good choice as the young man indicated it would probably work for the moment. ... Remember the ridiculous shape the bike was in when it came to him - the engine was a pile of parts.

@RonaldDaub-xi5jz 4 месяца назад

He thinks it sounded good it sounded like a two-stroke getting ready to hang a ring in the port like it probably did it's definitely seized up so it's a typical abused two-stroke that engine is set up properly would last for years but not around these guys

@toddwilliams6949 2 года назад

That RM is ideling crazy high. Might be running lean also. Just a suggestion, riding down the road, or even on the trail, isn't the best thing for the clutch. Probably should talk the owner into a new clutch basket, at the very least, before giving it back. Otherwise you will be seeing that thing again awfully soon. Just my opinion ...

@bananabrooks3836 2 года назад

I thought it sounded a touch lean too.

@2stroketyson79 Год назад

Older RMs are infamous for blowing crank seals & letting in air "high lean idle"

@kurtyoung6769 2 года назад

On all two strokes please please please please please please please please do not use the throttle on a cold start. It's an enrichment valve that only functions at closed throttle. Whew! I feel better now. LOL

If you have the ok , replace basket as others have said , great diag on trans gear installation, I like the grease on gaskets, I have been doing this for almost 20 years , makes gaskets reusable for a couple times at least , I really don't watch any other repair videos on the tube other than yours Joe , you remind me well of me lol , keep up the good work , we you freeze crank try simply putting a light bulb on crank bearing for a couple hrs , it really works !! 👍

The coolant is seeping up because your not using captured nuts or if not using captured nuts then use thread sealant on the the upper threads. You should also consider replacing your crush washers under the nuts they will keep coolant from leaking.
