I agree with everything you said. If you are more comfortable riding with 2 mirrors then go for it. I personally rely on frequent head checks rather than the...
One of the studs snapped when I was removing the heads to replace the head gaskets. I have a replacement stud and bolt/nut, but am having trouble removing the...
Mine had a lot of corrosion around the studs. You can tap the cyl from the side with a rubber mallet but someone in the past may have used a hardening gasket...
Unfortunately, without splitting the cases, you can't get them all out. You just have to prevent as many as possible from getting in there. A shop vac with...
I've cleaned out the crank case by removing the engine ,taking off the jugs,filling the crank case with kerosene and dumping it in a bucket.Don't turn the...
Thanks, Ed! I was hoping that there was a solution other than splitting the cases. I had heard some time ago that someone had tried this, but was hoping to...
... Pay close attention as to what kind of debris comes out on that first dump and follow the instructions I gave you. Remember, don't move the rods at all...
Thanks, I will. What fell in was crap from the corroded cylinder studs. Most had some kind of junk covering the surface, some of which flaked off and fell into...
Friends, Sorry for the "broadcast" but I wanted you to know that my email address has changed -- starting today, please contact me only at my permanent email:...

Hi guys, picked up a 72 R5 that is newly rebuilt and needs the jetting sorted out. It fires up on one kick, idles fine, but doesn't rev past a certain rpm. It...
hello all! working on a R5 engine and trying to remember (and so ASKING here!) if the washer under the R5 clutch nut is a flat washer or a tab washer... where...
What would that certain rpm be, roughly, and is that on the road or in nuetral? More importantly, how much throttle are you applying when you reach that rpm? ...
OUTAGE UPDATE: The outage scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, did not take place. Instead, on Thursday, July 16th (today), there will be a site-wide outage ...
-- I think I'd start off using 160's or even 180's at first and see if it runs fat if it does THEN bring it down if it still runs good then go to larger mains...
Dan, I just checked the manual and it shows a lock washer, not a tab washer. I can't seem to find the torque spec right now, but I'll keep looking. Honestly,...
Here's what I found looking at my parts book and service manual. The washer is called "SPRING, belleville", the part number is 214-16119-00. From Fig. 5, it is...
Thanks guys! I did check my manual but also wanted to check here. I finally pulled the cover on a parts engine and see its a thick spring washer. I still need...
