Very nice to watvh you video👍 Just a silly question and i dont know if it is the same with the gs. But on my carb f650 from 99 there is a tiny horizontal hole in the head right next to the right spark plug. As i saw on some Fotos in the Internet it is normal and Stock, so the previous owner didnt do anything weird😂 But im very interested in the reason for the hole. Can you explain it to me or is it different with the head from the GS?

The reason for it is to make sure any water that gets into the spark plug hole can drain away Thanks for watching

i have some chinese 125cc pit bike... its started to make like a metal slapping sound when riding, in every gear , but it stops making the noise when the bike is in neutral or with the clutch pulled in. im assuming something in the gearbox is ratting around like a tooth broken off maybe? hopefully its something obvious like that.... it runs well and still shifts and rides fine just that noise of impending doom is forcing me to do something before its too late. ever had some mystery noises like that before only while in gear? as far as i can tell its not the primary chain but possibly could be the cam tension chain

@bmxscapeАй бұрын
@@motorcyclefixer i have pulled the motor out planning to take it fully apart and look for anything wrong, but since the first step is to remove the timing chain and head i guess i should check the tension and see if its sloppy. i know i had this head off before buti can't remember how the tensioner works. theres bolts on the bottom but theyre all screwed in fully so there is no 'locknut' kind of adjustment from what i see. but i have no idea what im looking at since im new to this stuff. sorry for being vague but im wondering if you have any generic advice for me? i guess to start i should figure out what kind of motor im working on(aka which motor china cloned it from, if any) and find some documentation

Hi! First of all, AMAZING VIDEO. Anyway, I bought a F650gs and the starter started spinning 'freely'. Ordered a new bendix gear and the assembly. Opened the side cover and my idle gear seems to be missing the axle, the sleeve and the washer! Is the axle something that just hammers on or do i have to open the other side of the engine up too? Couldnt figure that part out by watching this. Also, i havent been able to locate the part number for the axle. Any idea where i could source one?

the stator plate on my 110cc pitbike only has one coil pack instead of two coils on his pitbike statorplate.is it unusual to have one coil pack?.there is a space for another coil pack with screws on it so if you want to add another coilpack. dosnt look like it broke off .the 2 screws are still on the plate .should u have to give the flywheel a wack with a club hammer or should it push on easy because on my 125cc pitbike i wacked the flywheel few time with a club hammer not too hard so not to damage anything. the flywheel didnt push on much and the notch thing on the flywheel is still 3 quarters off in line of the pickup point on the stator plate even after i put 2 washers behind the 2 screws on the pickup point so that the magnet on the pickup point is pushed outwards a bit more.
