Re: Engine Rebuild (first time doing it, need some advice)

Hi, thanks for the reply, but I have solved this already. My theory is that there was no loctite put on the sprocket and the bolts rattled loose

I ended up doing an engine swap so now I have the old engine for spares. It even runs a bit better. Was cheaper to swap the engine because it's hard to ...

Re: Vacuum hose routing 1994 tenere

Hello Stefan,
It seems you are having the same issue I used to have. My theory being that it's just too lean at high revs.

I resolved it by pulling the carb out giving it a good clean. And then adjusting the throttle based on the manual. I would recommend finding a screwdriver 6mm wide and using ...

Clutch cover removal

Hey,
I'm worried I might have broken one of my clutch plates, when I crashed .

I recently had the whole clutch apart and it was allright, so I put it back together. I was thinking I could avoid having to let out the coolant, by pulling the water pump out as a whole with the two short screws still ...

Re: Carb replacement

Hi,

Re: XTZ 660, hard to start, when it does it can't hold idle

Aight, I ended up just cleaning the carb, tuned it up and now it runs fine, so happy :)
How do I tell whether the mixture is too rich? or if it runs is that good enough?

Re: XTZ 660, hard to start, when it does it can't hold idle

Ok, will get into the carb today, I was thinking, once I will be there to check the valve clearance as well. I'm not sure if I need a new seal after i open up the valves, do i?
