Nice vid, but i gave up after three minutes as its a tad long. Looks like some great terrain and riding
-
Looks tidy,
I've got a mate wanting to do this to a pro.
Did you do it? or buy it done like it?
-
-
Fair do's
I think i'll get some practice in as well, but may send a few emails to find out prices
-
did you manage to buy the rev4 mudguard in the end? did you actually save some money?
-
Thanks fella,
I also hope the bike is trouble free !! Its not that bad a job to be honest. If you need any advise just give me a shout.
I found that a dab of grease on the o rings helped to hold them in place
-
Its only as dangerous as you let it be. And some clubs have benginner champs and club champ series.
But im sure you'll make the best decision for you
-
I've also used feetuptrials sport recently for my beta parts, very good service
Im going to send you a message on here fella.

Hi there,
did you buy the bike from a Bloke in doncaster?
I cant get link to the add atm, but if your bike: has a carbon effect tank, a 4rt front mudguard and the owner did a new: airfilter, brake pads etc
Then its the one i looked at, and i may have some extra information for you

Bike now works perfectly,
Changed the side casing and all assorted parts, including the head gasket.
I washed the rad and engine jacket out with Gunk Ultimate degreaser, its water soluble and seemed to work alright after a few rinses,
So im happy enough now
-
But surely film will deteriorate through use ?
for about
-
is the increase in new bikes due to the price of the euro?? i assume alot of the bikes come from spain?
-
I bet its stolen 'not recovered' then !
-
This made me chuckle,
Surely some geezer has bodged this to work before the cops took it??

I had a look at the headgasket and the evidence wasnt very conclusive.
so i've decided to change the casing and water pump shaft etc, as well as the headgasket.
Im goign to flush the engine and rad, does anyone have some tips on what i can flush it with? Im not quite sure what will break up this mayo?
Warm water? Petrol?
-
Its a big point of discussion fella,
Some use ATF dextron 3 because its a light oil and seems to help with the clutch, people tend to change this regularily.
Others run Putoline, Motul etc etc
Up to you really, Id do a search if you want to go into the ins and outs of each
-
Well the plot thickens !
I rang Feet up Trials sport today, Partly because i've used them before when i've bought bits off ebay, and I could see the price of their casing on ebay and i was happy with it.
Chatting to the guy, He (as i) thought it was weird the oil was going into the rad and not the water going into the gearbox oil as it usually happens.
He advised me not to buy my bits just yet and check to see if the headgasket is in tact, because if its compromised, it could be allowing premix oil from the chamber into the water jacket, just creating the mayo.
So im going to strip the head off tonight and remove the water pump shaft to see if its worn.
-
Can anyone also make a suggestion for a good, but also cheap enough supplier of the parts?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the comment on the photos, my other half is a photography teacher so i pinched her new compact camera. If your going to put pictures up, you may has well do decent ones. I'll also leave these up so others can see and compare.
I've looked at the bike again this morning, the water pump shaft doesn't have any in/out play, but it does have some side to side play, its not sloppy, just a small amount of moment.
I've taken the clutch cover off and this is what i've found:
I cant see any pitting on the inside tho
Looking from the front of the water pump, shows that the internals are pitted, i'm guessing this is the corrosion which eventually goes through??
A look at the engine oil, does look like milk, but when i drained the rad, 600ml of water definitely didn't come out.
From my research on here, it seems that its worth changing the pump bearings and seal, suppose the shaft can be done as well. Just need to decide whether its worth changing the casing ??? part of me is concerned that the pitting on the impeller is going to ome through sooner rather than later
-
BetaBonkers,
where was that from, and what bits did you change?
Not really wanted i wanted when buying, I just bought a tyre and fluids today coming in at £100, didn't really envisage another £100
-
Thanks Paul
But what do you mean perforation? corrosion on the back/inside of the pump?
-
Rev3,
do you mean that removing the old seal can knacker the seat within the casing? ..hence why you need a knew housing??
Is this the only reason for replacing the side casing? at
-
Is a new side casing really necessary?
-
Dont know why the pictures are rather large, sorry
