helmet study

[Daniel Niide]

Hi, last month I changed the front drive shafts on my son' s Mazda MX6 cause cv joint boots were falling apart. Could not bust off the bolts/nuts connecting outter end to the wheel hub. Tried everything from Liquid Wrench, breaker bar w/ 3 ft. pipe extension, torching, and no luck. Was about ready to pay big bucks to the machine shop for them to do the job, but luckily read somewhere about PB Buster. PB Buster is a liquid in a spray can sold at most auto parts stores. Sprayed the frozen parts and let it sit over night. Next morning it came of like magic. Now, whenever I do work on parts that I think will give me a problem, I spray first, let sit overnight, seems to work all the time.From: Thomas Komjathy To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 7:25 AM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Need help Yes folks, the rotor on the new engine I just purchased has officially kicked my ass. Sequence of events are; 1. Rotor puller bolt stripped (took two hours to get it out). 2. Cur stripped portion of puller bolt off, cleaned threads on rotor, then stripped puller bolt again. Yes I gave it a couple of good whacks with a hammer. 3. Cut last portion of puller bolt, turned, wack, turn, wack, turn, wack......stripped puller bolt again, and now the rotor threads are shot. Oh, while wacking the rotor puller bolt, one of the magnets cracked and came off.... Yes, I heated the rotor prior the third attempt. 4. cut a relief in the rotor to help loosen it. I need help here, can anyone give me any suggestion as to how to get this mother F&*(ker off. Thankfully I have another rotor.

At this point you seem to be beyond the realm of pullers as I would be concerned about applying more force to the end of the crankshaft. Without seeing, which always worries one, my suggestion is that you are going to have to split the flywheel. If I were where I think you are, I would mask things off to prevent entry of grindings and other swarf into the engine, and use my air cut off tool. Good luck, it would be a time and attention to detail project but not difficult. Norm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

you would better off describing its problems...we can more likely help you that way than get you an antique manual

Riding along on some very nice dirt roads in NJ at the Pine Barrens 500 and the bike stalled at an intersection. Would not turn over until cool then it will not start although the engine turns over. We pulled it with another bike and it started but when dropped to idle stalls. found oil was about 1.5 quarts low.  never burned that much before but maybe I forgot to check it after riding some hoghway last week.  Got it running and headed for home. Noticed temp stayed the same by the low end but it is cool out and I was running 45-50 on back country roads so temp should stay low. then the engine stopped. I think it actually siezed at speed. I grabbed the clutch and pulled over. would not turn over until it cooled again. then turns over fine but no pop, no bang. I can feel it huffing out of exasust pipe. I trailered back and put in my 1.5qts oil but still no pop. I dont know if the "no start" is secondary to the sieze or visa versa. I plan to pull panels in the morning to see if I find anything but some options would help. If I killed a valve or something like that then I need to go home and order a 685 top end and rebuild it. What do I need Chris from Canton, AKA Skypilot

IME, still having a quart in the sump should avoid cam damage but no guarantee. I bought my present bike sight unseen because it was making some bad top end noises which were noticed after the owner returned from a long ride and hadn't checked the oil. He put in 2 litres (bit more than 2 US quarts) to bring the level into the sight glass. The noises turned out to be something else and the cams are in nice condition. If you post your city, there might be someone close by who can give a hands on/ear to the question. I can give you Jeff's address....
