r1crusher Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well after Mid-O something doesn't sound right on the top end of the motor. So I changed the oil yesterday and it didn't look good. Pretty metallicy actually. New oil went in but the top end is still very loud. I'm starting to think it might be cam bearings. On top of all that, the trans is now acting weird. With the bike on the stand and in neutral you can barely rotate the wheel. Start the bike, drop it into first with the clutch pulled in and it's like it's fully engaged. I adjusted the cable both at the motor and at the lever but you can't even stop the rear wheel. So I think I'm just going to call my season done until I can find/afford another motor.

blue03636 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Check the clutch, probably done for.As for the cam, make sure it even has bearings, not all of them do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Funny I JUST told my friend on FB that is getting ready to replace his clutch that they are known for that and mine is okay for now, but I can start to tell it will need a rebuild soon. Usually going from WOT to like 2nd gear it is starting to catch a false neutral every so often, or just sit in N vs. hitting 2nd. Think Nelson 12/13, had to stand it up lsat event I was at and hit 1st gear.If it makes you feel better, I think Nelson will be my last event for a bit too. Wedding will be 60 days out and I need to really focus my finances on that and the honeymoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 what year is the bike? I've got a 01 600 motor sitting around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 maybe the trans/clutch is starting to grenade which threw garbage into the engine, and now you just have some debris noise up in the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 sorry kevvy poo. just ride it til it explodes. you have to rebuild it anyway, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I may know someone with a GSX-R engine for sale. AMA spec' date=' but probably needs freshening. Want me to check? Text me if you do.[/quote']That's the last thing I was to put in honestly. I'd have to get it rebuilt every year typically and that's an expense I don't want to incur.But thanks for the offer! If you come across a low mileage stock one let me know.There is one on another forum for $600, it's just that I don't have that at the moment or it would already be on its way to me.

r1crusher Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 If I could guarantee that I could ride it until it "kersplodes" AND it not do something painful to me in the process I would do it.I'm going to pull the clutch cover as well as the cam cover and see if there's anything blatantly wrong.

jbot Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 there's probably a mechanical squid wearing a flat bill cap, wife beater, and flip flops in there, mucking about with the internals, making all that noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Sounds like you need a new clutch. The noise could be anything from cam chain, valves, main bearings, rod bearings, to random pieces of metal in the air box that wind up in your pistons and make noise like craig had. No way to tell without tearing it apart so either ride it till it blows up or start pulling the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's probably valves as little noise as it was making. While you have the cover off you should just check them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 We'll see this fixed before the season is out mang. I'll start cleaning out proper garage space if you wanna break her down at my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well, I need to do something. Either start wrenching on it or rob several stores. I'd just as soon drop it out and replace it but that takes coin. Tearing it down will only tell me that I need to put money into it but just how much is the real question. Anything more than $3-400 and I might as well just buy a used motor and slowly fix the bad one and keep it as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinu said he would give you $1500 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
