Bottom End Rebuild

(1/2) > >>

chunterjam:
Folks,

I've stripped my engine down this far to check the PO hadn't butchered the bottom end like he had most of the rest of the bike. Luckily it looks pretty good.

However, seeing as I'm this far...is there anything I should change before rebuild?

Looks like a 500 so change the primary chain as there is no tensioner and the chain eats into the main oil gallery also the 8 damper rubbers in the primary drive to help the chain, then just a seal kit and maybe a cam chain

chunterjam:
Sorry...should have said its a 550 :-) Thanks Bryan

550 primary chain does not hit the cases quite as bad but still worth changing with the other stuff

Ashdowner:
Where are these rubbers on the primary drive Bryan? Is that anything to do with the clacking that many of us get on tickover?
