KX60 HELP! In need of rebuild!

[kwakman]

the 'ONLY' things you need to set the torque on are cyl head bolts, cyl to cases bolts, clutch basket, clutch pressure plate, crank primary drive gear,engine mounting bolts, head stay, and swingarm bolt.(and there'll be some i forgot too)dont ignore the proper torque settings just to get out on it half an hour earlier, no point spending all that dough to break sumthin else cos you didnt set the torque on the relevant parts......

[madness]

Thank you very much! just an update everyone that the cases are split and the old crankshaft is out. I do not know if I should replace the bearing and seal that is in the case to the right side. It looks good but I don't know. Also do I have to seal the cases with silicon again when I reseal the cases? Thanks.

Silicone=Bad.

Yamabond 4=good   (honda Bond, Three bond 1194, etc etc)

Replace it! no point in taking the risk...tiny metal shards prob ended up lodged in there!

for the price and how much extra work it is from this point far outweighs the price of having to do it 2 hours after you put the bike back together!

This can be done with no specialist tools.... BUT ALOT of attention.. Heat the case to 200c (use spit test) and freeze the bearings for an hour, cold bearings should drop straight into a hot case with no need for a press, make sure they drop in straight tho.. For instructions look to you tube.

Do not put it back together without replacing the bottom end bearings, its just not worth it and i'd hate to see you have to do all this again!

[Motorrad]

Always replace the seals if you have it appart...

They are cheap... and its NOT CHEAP if they fail...  (motor go boom)

Ok thanks for the advice. I just sold a bike I found in the garbage to some guy in Pennsylvania for $80! haha I will look for some type of bond for it and try to get the bearing and seal out. My friend has mr.gasket I think he said would that work? and Im borrowing his torque wrench too. The motor is at my friend's house right now cause we had to use the air compressor. The engine is split and the old shaft is off. There was a lottt of gunk stuff on the bottom where the shaft is and it looked like dirt but it wasnt. Im gonna clean the whole thing up. Thanks.

[chris-mets]

and also how much yamabond do I buy?

1 tube is enough for many motors...


Mr Gasket is a gasket dressing... ment to put on automotive gaskets before assembly.... not the same thing as what yamabond ETC. does..  as they are a Case sealant..

[chris-mets]

Ok thanks but how much yamabond? 3 oz? theres different sizes.

YAMABOND 4 is sorta like fat bottom girls......

[delphipro5]

What about HYLOMAR? Not the same as yamabond?

[Motorrad]

I use halomar for intake gaskets.. 

But it will NOT WORK as case sealer..

[delphipro5]

Thanks, good to know.
