Spike101uk Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So finally got engine to run and now the back wheel is completly seized, and it looks like it's dripping a oil type liquid from the drain hole in my exhaust, Starting to lose hope and the thrill of riding , it's getting too much trying to fight my bike to work on a weekly basis, time to sell her I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I wouldn't worry too much about the black liquid coming out your exhaust. Does your bike sit outside, if so, does the cover pull all the way over the end of the silencers. With the amount of rain and wind lately, it's probably just water mixed with carbon soot (unless of course you have actually checked it and it is oil) Re: The back wheel. Assuming it is a drum brake, .You need to check the brake is not locked on. Firstly check the pedal moves up and down freely and then look at the brake pivot at the rear wheel/brake plate. You may need to take the wheel off, remove the shoes and pivot. Clean up the pivot with degreaser and fine steel wool, then something like copaslip on it before reassembly If it is a disk brake, then you'll need to check the piston is retracting in the caliper. Over the winter this will attract a load of crud and could cause some corrosion thus preventing the piston from releasing. You can buy an overhaul kit which will include new seals. It may also be the master cylinder again you can buy an overhaul kit for that. Either way, you are only talking a few hours work with minimum outlay (none if it is a drum brake) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
