Noise

I lead a very boring life and nothing interesting about it so far, other than sitting in my cave playing with my bits. Soon tho.................................................................................all will change

Yer thats what i thought, she aint bad looking and not bad on the old Gee-tar

Hi Luke, Firstly welcome to the club, im hoping your stay about and make your way to the new guys section to properly introduce your self as its kinda annoying having someone jump in at the deep end asking questions even though they havent even introduced them selves. Now what it sounds like to me is that your exhaust has come loose and is blowing (most likely at the cylinder) so just remove exhaust, fit new exhaust gasket (make sure you remove old one) re fit the exhaust and torque up the bolts properly. which should solve your problem.

Thanks Tommy, so far im rather happy with my self as this is the first time i have ever stripped an engine and im not even a mechanic nor have i ever done a course on mechanics ha ha. Must say tho with the help of a Haynes manuel it is quite simples and not forgetting the help on here too. Here are a few more pics of the progress Clutch and oil pump bits n bobs out Front Con rod Rear Con Rod Starter motor before After (but needs more coats) Thought id give this stuff a bash for a change

Hi Pedro, Looks like Roy hasn't been on the forum since Nov 2012. sadly not sure how else you could contact him. Nice to still see the bike is in the hands of a YOC owner

That is a cracking song! i do like that. What you think of these guys? seen them on Kerrang couple of days ago

Well guys this is the result of being a twat and not checking / changing your oil. Oil and filter change = £30 New crank and con rods = £430 Your choice. I broke mine so you don't have to! Cause I'm that nice.

Speaks for itself really

See i had no problems at all getting the heads and cylinder off the threaded shafts, just un done the four bolts, took off the cam chain cog, took out the little ninja bolt hidden next to the spark plug, slid off the head, then took out the one small bolt on the cylinder hit it with a rubber mallet and off it came. Ok once i start the re build i wil start a thread on how to do it. but as im no mechanic and am of the simple mind you will have to bare with me as i may come out with things like "bolt the doo dar to the thingy with a par of whatsist" The worst thing so far to get off was the bastard nut holding the clutch cage in palce and the nut on the oil pump gear, Haynes manwell tell you to make a DIY tool to lock them in place.............me i just folded some blue roll up and jammed it in the gers and after the 3rd try bobs your fanny off it came, guess you smart arses already new that try? thought i was being clever

Well i guess like all Noises it needs to be heared at full volume and is only liked by those who like the finer things in life! ha ha

Signed it, I do agree with this 100% but i don't think any thing will happen with it as the last part of the quote is what they are doing it is due to the money and if they did tax us on the emissions they look at how much dosh they will lose. (even tho i cant see where they use our road tax money as the roads are still in a shit state)

No tank bra on my bike, nor is there any chrome, to be fair every non essentual item on my bike has been removed, and i shall continue to remove the crap off my bike till it only just passes an MOT. Once my bank ballance recovers from me buying a new crank etc even the frame will have a new look and a nice 40 DCOE weber carb installed along with other trick bits. Only time there will be tassles on my bike is if the wife sticks a set on her tits for a blast round the block

Don't get me wrong i do like System of a down and i think the best song for giving your goose bumps when it kicks in is Ariels, absolutley love that song. If you want to listen to a bit of Cradle have a butchers at this one

My 650 draggy dose 0-60 in 0.3secs.

Well I've gone and bought the crank and con rods from a chap in the US and A so should be back on the road in time to welcome the winter ha ha. Question tho. Am I the only One on this forum to strip and rebuild a draggy motor? If so shall I do a start to finish guide thingy to help / give guidance to others wishing to do the same?

New crank and con rods on there way.

Yer been pricing things up and it is the best option to get a new motor but they are like rocking horse poop. there are a few in the US but looking at £1000 for them. But i have just rang a chap in Southampton and left him a message as he has one for sale for £300 so fingers crossed he still has it. Id love to stick a bigger lump in her just that im not sure if the 1100 has the same mounting points and if the frame can withstand the extra torques etc?

Sorry yer ment crankshaft There is a chap ive just e-mailed on Gumtree thats selling a 650 motor for 300 notes but not had any thing back yet. And sadly the 1100 motor wont fit the 650 frame, (think there has been many a topic on that subject)

Morning folks, Well Betty is truly not very well, the big ends on her front cylinder are fooked and was the cause of the tapping sound i had. and yes i know it was all due to me being a cock and not changing the oil and now im left with the bill for sorting it out. But still its a good excuse to get my hands full of dirt and grease! So with the Con rod bouncing about every where like it shouldn't i can only asume at this point that its done some damage to the cam shaft, ive not got as far as splitting the box yet as there is the small task of taking out the clutch / gear box etc to get the motor in two, once ive done this i can see what damage has gone on with the Cams shaft. My question is tho, dose anyone on here (UK based) know any where i can get the cam shaft re-ground and both con rods fitted with new shells? I have found a second hand cam shaft with both rods on E-bay for 430 nuggets but if i can get mine re vamped for less then id be more happy. Many thanks N

So it was just a case of "have you turned it off and on again?"

Thing that makes me laugh every time with that vid, haveyou seen how much the copper rider has to lift the gear lever to get first from neutral!!! Ha ha. I know they are shit bikes but I really wantt to own a hardly,

Well finally got a new Dremel and its actually better that my old one so im quite happy that it broke. bit more investigating and cleaning has been done and im please to say ive found where that tapping was coming from! Big Ends have gone in the front Cylinder so now gotta strip the whole lot down so will not be on the road this year. Will up load video onto You tube tonight and post Rear Cylinder nearly finished Work mate i got from the dump for free! Front and rears cylinders off Primary cover off Other side off

What like this one? think its been posted here before

I do like this new bike, but it is very very similar to the Harley Sporty 48 which id buy over this new yammy.

Back on track, The xv535 is bollocks, looks like the aftermath of a prostitutes fanny fart and handles like a sloppy shit in colender. Only thing that comes a close 2nd in the worst things to have between your legs is Dale Winton. To top it off they are mostly always sold with with studded saddle bags, fly screens AND TASSLES!!!!!! whats the deal? Sorry couldn't hold it in
