Re: how to replace crank seals

hmmm - are you familiar with anyone who sells smaller rated triple springs? Would this be comparable to a higher stall auto trans on a car? (would assume so)

Re: how to replace crank seals

If I can remember correctly - I have a Keli Medium Clutch and we swapped in Polini 1000 triple springs - not sure if they were 1000's , pretty sure though. I know for a fact we swapped in polini's into that clutch. The big center spring was 1000 or 1500 yellow spring.

Re: how to replace crank seals

not sure what the * the issue was. I buttoned everything back up, running a 60 pilot, 140 main and it runs flawless now. I think the top end worked itself slightly loose when I lost power. Either way - seems great now. My only only slight issue is that it seems like my idle is fine, but to start mov...

Re: how to replace crank seals

Interesting, I'll button everything back up this weekend and see what happens. I am going to run a 60 pilot and either 135 or 140 main on that 28mm keihin. Very least I have replacement seals if I need to....

Re: how to replace crank seals

I was riding it one night and everything was fine then lost power, had to limp it home I guess I never tried a compression reading when I got it from you... You think that hose really makes a difference? Only thing I have done since was rebuild the top end. The cut out issue was taken care of when I...

Re: how to replace crank seals

Honestly I don't know what else to do. I am going to at the very least inspect them for leaking. I rebuilt the whole top end basically - new base & head gasket, new piston and rings (from taz) - the cylinder walls seem fine ( no scouring) - although they haven't been mic'd I inspected the reed c...

Ok... I'm looking at every schematic and I'm just having a hard time understanding what you guys are referring to as seals? the crank itself rides on the bearings... not seeing seals on each side?

how to replace crank seals

Can someone explain how to inspect and replace crank seals? I have replaced top end gaskets, piston, rings and inspected reeds... Can only come to the conclusion my crank seals need replacing.

Any help is appreciated
