Re: Motorcycles

Suzuki 900rf got it given to me by a mate who had too many bikes at home. 1st bike but doesn't do anything for me. More fun on the lammy and T5.

Steering Lock Stop

Hi all. Rebuilding a S3 LI150 and need to weld on a stop for the steering lock, original missing. I know they don't really take much to break but would just like to replace it. Already welded on a ring to the frame for my big lock and chain. Anyways, anyone got any photos of the stop or even better ...

Re: Cylinder / barrel stud pitch size

Cheers for the replies lads, after reconsidering I think I'll go down the oversize stud route.

Thanks again

Re: Help Crankshaft problem

Just thought I'd update this post, followed Seans advice & put it all back together & rolled with it! Few hundred miles done now & no probs with the seal (or anything else, touch wood) although I've probably put a kiss of death on it now!!

Thanks all once again!!

Re: Help Crankshaft problem

Hi all, Had it all apart again today, checked & double checked, no rubbing marks or any signs of the crank catching the seal lip. Did a dry build of Rolf seal, MBD drive seal plate & mec crank & found that it went together ok but still felt slightly stiff, seal on crank, decided to roll ...

Re: Help Crankshaft problem

Hi Sean,

Greased it up really well! Take it out & the bearing spins fine, put it bk and all spins fine untill it seems to get to the seal, then gets stiff to turn! No rubbing marks anywhere when I take it out. Starting to wind me up now! Oh the joys of scootering!

Re: Help Crankshaft problem

Hi battlam, Thanks for your reply, looks to be a chamfer there but wether it's enough I don't know. Does seem to be when the shoulder gets to the Rolf seal is when I'm having problems! Any ideas of a work round or is it worth trying another seal? Cheaper than trying another new crank!! But if it's t...

Help Crankshaft problem

Hi all, Rebuilding an LI150 engine with all new bearings & parts! Fitted new GP FAG bearings, New MBD drive seal place & a new mec GP crank but when pulling the crank into position it starts to stiffen up. I'm using a crank Puller & stopping every so often to spin the crank but when I do...
