I've send a quotation for shipping (I used the 1st option but since they are the same it doesn't matter now). I just need a confirmation from the service shop that its the bearing 100% and I'm going to buy it. I wait in case I need some other "hard to find" parts so I can order from the same store. Saved it to my bookmarks since it has great prices. I hope the shipping is reasonable You made me day ! Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted February 22, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2017 Fowlers are a great supplier I use them myself, you're welcome bernek What year is your bike? the fowler site mainly lists uk bikes but that part seems to be in many of them if not all, you can search the same year as yours but in uk version and then maybe cross reference to a parts list for yours?

bernek Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Bought the bearing *new* from ebay... Taiwan Bearing - I hope it will last for a while (at least 6mo maybe 1yr)... The carbs are leaking and I think I can fix them without a carb repair kit but we'll have to see about that ! It's been close to 2 months and I haven't seen the bike running ... I'm not loosing hope yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiler:) Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 A better manual I find than a Haynes is a clymers manual there are more illustrations and it's better laid out with better instruction instead of like the Haynes were you go back an forth all time trying find the paragraph to go with the picture etc ... clymers for more are always a better manual especially for the home mechanic ....

bernek Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 I know this has been asked a lot of times but here I am asking you guys: I'm going to change the piston and rings (wiseco/prox) and get a rebore and hone done to the cylinder. What should be the best break in procedure for my case ? I only drive muddy roads and a bit of asphalt but can't venture too far away from home so I will be mainly on dirt roads. Please give me some tips regarding this and since I won't be able to drive a lot of km can I count the running time of the engine ? (for example 10 hours of driving around in 1-2-3 gear not lugging the engine and avoiding constant rpms). Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 28, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2017 Running in procedure..... 1. Start engine. 2. Ride steady for a bit, couple of miles and stop. Using all gears. 3. Anything leaking or fell off? No.? Then use it. Ride as normal. All i have ever done in 31years of riding. Wonder how many engines die when somebody drones through 4 or500 miles then hit the magic number and nails the bastard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernek Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 I heard you guys like pictures please take a look at my work: Exhaust manifold: (did try to make it look better was treated with anti-rust) Silencer: (same as the exhaust manifold) Handlebar: (bough some second hands ones and painted them - I've sanded them down to the bare metal) Engine: (no bolt was torqued down ... and the piston slap is crazy will get a wiseco and a rebore + all the gaskets/bearings/o-rings) I've bought the one-way bearing and I hope it will last ! Seat: (this wasn't made by me but it was a nice restore for 10 euros). I hope you enjoy looking at old vs new (restored) pictures ! I plan on a full repaint of plastics and this summer will get the chassis painted also. I've already bought new tires (http://heidenautires.com/moto-cross-tires/k74/) and lots of other small stuff. The bike main purpose will be to serve my off-road rides and if it proves worthy on asphalt I will have it registered. I won't be driving on motorways only on old rarely used roads in the mountains either way. I've seen these bikes are capable of 140-150 km/h on good days. A question regarding the wiseco piston: - the compression is rated 10.7:1 and the OEM one is 8.5:1 ... I'm not looking for a power increase (which comes with more heat) so I hope I won't have any problems with the wiseco piston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernek Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 I hope to have it running in the next two weeks and to bring it home so I can start tinkering and working more time on it The forks on XT600 3TB have seals that protect them from dust/dirt ? I ask this because I want to get rid of the existing rubber covers. Should I buy new ones or I should be ok if I wipe clean and oil the seals from time to time ?! I was looking at a sealmate scoop thingy and I will make one myself to clean the seals from the forks. I will be riding offroad mostly but I won't be going trough mud and crap just forest roads and some green grass mostly. Please advice regarding my idea to leave the front forks "naked". Thanks guys ! Will continue to upload photos when I have some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
