@ wish our lass would do that for me

@@bora4705 ill take a look mate, they can have some odd moments sometimes. Im just going through mine as ive left them for 3 months, luckily all 3 started instantly but theyre covered in mold!

@@bora4705 i saw your bike stumbling, they do stutter on idle due to emmissions being very lean..... but not that bad! You'll need to read the fault codes first then do some simple resets which are in the online workshop pdf file. If thats no good you'll need to measure resistances on the temperature control switch below the throttle body and the O2 sensor on the left side of the head. Try that lot first.

@ thanks for the advice i ll check them in a free time and keep you updated

@@theravedaddy so i got code 12 at ecm i cleared it and then checked it to see if it comesback but it didnt. Other thing that i didnt mention, before this problem started i took out all the plastic panels for paint and used bike only seat and fuel tank on it for a while and the problem started in that time i dont know if it related with problem

@bora4705 a 12 seems to pop up on all bikes including mine so ignore that. Its usually a lean condition that causes stumbling, the mixture is controlled via the switchon the cylinder head under the throttle body and the O2 sensor. Youll need to do ohms tests on them and check for any air leaks but an air leak will normally cause the idle speed to raise as the ivac motor tries to compensate.

@@philreal8656 thanks for that, i need all the help i can get cos you tube doesnt promote my channel. Ive started a playlist with all my CRF fixes called CRF fixes!

@@darseyno1520 thanks! Ive got plenty more cos ive been beating my crf for 10 years now. If you got any other questions just ask. FB: honda 250l 300l tip n tech

@@darseyno1520 if you do get a fault ive got a video on clearing the codes.

@@darseyno1520 yes mate, disconnect the grey plug on the temperature sensor below the throttle body and start the bike. The fan will constantly run. The engine light will come on but switch off and reconnect the plug and it will reset.

@@theravedaddy Thank you so much for getting back to me.

@@darseyno1520 no worries , ive got hundrrds of tech vids on the crf but you tube hides them.

Just done what you had said and the fan is working fine. I just thought she smelled as if she was running hot.

@@darseyno1520 cool! My run hot all the time as its always 30+C and i do 1st gear 50% gradiants!

@@bobz1736 i will admit ive noticed zero improvement in cooling between the 2 bikes i ride.

Good to see you still out there mate!

@@theravedaddy that I am my m8 watching from afar distance hope u got the master cylinder re pipeed yet ? No wonder the brakes was 💩 lol

@@leebryant1973 it needs a total rebuild on the brakes, i left them on the rebuild as it was big convid time n i wasnt wanting to waste money. Ill go through it in the winter.

Cool! Im too poor to buy a 300, i forgot they put them under there.

Yeah i can see them but i still cant add photos on fb. I wrote the tyre post this morning on my tablet then had to bluetooth the photos to my phone and add photos from that. That suggests ive got some issue with my tablet?

Oh ive been flagged! Im mocking scambos all day long!

@@sheltonmnkandla5051 im still driving it 30,000kms later and it needs zero oil top ups between services.

​@@theravedaddydid you put new pistons on , are they also TP brand ?

@@sheltonmnkandla5051 the pistons are new, cant remember the brand. Heres the ring measuring video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaivi61tasx3j9Ufeature=shared

​@@theravedaddythanks a lot

@@sheltonmnkandla5051 thanks for watching. It was so long ago now that im watching them again as i forgot i did this! The bus is outside and still drives good, never needs an oil or water top up after 35,000 kms so i must have got it right.

@@theravedaddy I'm trying to think of some creative answers....

@@drchancer1098 ive had 1 or 2 chuckles off some answers n muricans simply dont get uk humour!

@@theravedaddy Either way it's a great page... I've invited a few peeps.

@@drchancer1098 make sure they have a sense of humour or they wont get past the questions! I do block more than i let in.

Well brainiac, if you bothered to watch all the other parts you might have seen more action but im guessing you're too stupid to search for them.

Its now a scootski

The cheap washers are all in thailand as you know, but they can be very unreliable. :)

@@theravedaddy My mate got a small one just for his riding gear .... 1200bht !

I got a small one too but she costs a lot more

I built the other 301 on a bench while the frame was being painted. I source all my parts from chiang mai.

All new from honda in chiang mai.

Awesome l will try to find them online , l'm not much of a red guy . If you know of a link could you post it up .

@@chopperenduro6590 the business is sangchai panich on FB but i dont think they ship out of thailand. Theres plastics in different colours on webike or bikerzbits, i dont use them but they ship anywhere.

Yup, to get the gearbox seal out you have to knock out the water pump seal too. Luckily they're not expensive here so do them both at the same time. You reminded me ive got to take a seal set back to the uk as my crf back there is also misting oil on the frame tube.

This trail is on the east side of town.

Aha kool il be over there soon

​@@ne14a2 if you nip in to DRC opposite the big school on the road to the concrete bridge Noom can call me and ill show you the trails. Ive got 1400 videos covering a lot of them!

You must be 63 as well then! Im back off up there 7am tomorrow, theres a bloody big hill that ive not got the nads to drop off of cos i wont be able to get back up it. Tomorrow ive got to cut another path up it, it will be in the next couple of uploads.

I'd love to know where that trail is I've been riding in pai for years on and off I don't recognise that route

​@@ne14a2 its not far from town, ive spent the last 2 years seeking them out.

It should certainly take the weight of an average uk biffer... i should send it to my sister in law for xmas.

I did, im going back in there today to dig a way down that hill. :)

Love it when theres no straining to get rid of a large one. 😊

Its all good, i had it apart n did a 301 on it. Its probably just starter switch contacts cos nothing likes being idle for 3 months in the wet season.

Ok mate. The guy i buy them from is a household name in the racing world and he doesnt agree. Ive done 2000kms on the other bike and that was run in the same.

Yeah im trying to enjoy stuff while i can! The fan is controlled by the grey switch under the throttle body. Take the grey plug off and turn the ignition on, the fan should run constantly. If not theres a pair of oblong relays to the rear in the battery compartment, 1 is fuel pump, the other is fan. You can switch positions and turn the ignition on, then turn the red run switch on. If the relay is good the fuel pump will run the pressure up cycle. Obviously check the fuses! Ive had 2 ECT switches go bad but that usually makes the bike idle at 1500rpm so if its idling ok the switch should be fine.it needs an ohms check to be sure. You can download the manual in a pdf for free with a bit of searching on google, good luck, pop back with any more questions or visit FB honda crf250l 300l tips n tech, the manuals in the files section. 1 last thought, is the fan rotating by hand? Ive seen rads twist and stop the fan from turning. You can spin it from the bottom with your fingers.

@theravedaddy Hi Thanks for your reply I have taken the Grey plug off and the fan now runs The issue now is the engine management light stays on and temp gauge stays on red I'm guessing this is because I have unplugged the Grey switch Even when I rev the bike the lights stay on I mistakenly disconnected the switch near the header pipe which could be the lamba switch I have reved the bike but it's a bit flat I put the lamb switch back in exactly in the same place and the bike now revs out Are the management/ temp lights a problem or shall I just ride it back to the UK !!!!!! When I reconnect the Grey switch, the lights go out and bike revs but fan won't run Sorry for the long message but really appreciate your help Roy

​@@guyonacub4335 the lights are on because the switch is disconnected but its proved the fan works and wiring/relay is ok. The problem is no signal to tell the fan to start. You can check for stored fault codes by accessing the red diagnostic plug. Ive got videos on that in my playlist. I think the temp switch is a code 7. Its possible to rig a switched wire to the fan to ride it but you will need to watch for the red light and then turn it on. It should only get hot in slow traffic.

That new seal came with the kit, its tricky to get it to sit in the slot, the 2nd seal was the honda one in an engine gasket kit. That washer behind the impellor can be reused if its not heavily corroded. I had 1 that was like new and 1 that was rusty as!

@@theravedaddy I may have to reuse the rubber seal as well then, as they’ve only included the 1 seal for the actual water pump cover

@@motomc6962 yeah their idea was for you to supply a new honda seal. I think i remember that annoying me too but i had a full gasket set on me. A smear of gasket glue will help n just wipe off what squeezes out.

@@theravedaddy not worried about it stopping in place more worried about it being perished and putting it all together just for it to start leaking haha will have to see what it’s like when I get it apart today if need be I’ll have to order one and wait

Just cleaning the old gasket off the casing and noticed a little rubber seal about the size of a 5p lying in the bottom but haven’t a clue where it’s came from do you have any idea please mate ? Can’t see anything on the inside of the casing that it obviously fits on
