Just used this method on my fireblade, which has been garaged for nearly 20 years. It took an hour soak in WD40. Got it moving on the back wheel in top gear. Bit more WD40. 30 minutes later, it turns over on the starter motor. What a legend, thanks a million 😊😊😊

I just started getting into motorcycle repair and restoration about a week ago and I have to say your videos and website are the most informative, resourceful, and most hands-on instruction that I've come across on the internet. I'm currently working on 4 bikes that have been sitting for 4 years and 1 that's been sitting for 25+ years. Thanks to you, I feel like I can get these beauties running again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

The next time you do this use Marvel Mystery Oil. This was designed to do everything you are trying to do. It not only provides top notch penetration but it is is also a first class lubricant that will mix well as a fuel additive. So when you finally get the engine broken free it will not be hard to clean out the liquid that you used to free your engine. I have had very good results with it on many different things. It's the best.

Hi Mr max I bought a quad bike 350cc,(Chinese replica of the yamaha raptor 350, it's called hisun. Parts are identical ) project, the owner said it just needs a wiring loom/harness. I bought a harness and installed it, and the bike was turning over, by jumping the solenoid with a spanner but it never started(battery is new) . With some advice I was told to try another harness and another stator and cdi. I purchased all the required parts from someone stripping the same model. I tried it one last time before installing the new harness and is still just turned over but no spark (even though I used a lot of starting fluid) I then put the new harness in and connected it up and it stopped turning over. I tried checking everything on the harness, everything seemed fine. After a while, I put the old harness back in and then too it no longer turned over. I tested the starter motor it's turning great. I took off the left motor cover and trying to turn over the motor with a wrench, I found it to be stuck, stuck. I left it for few months now, any idea what's going on with this bike , is it ciezed and unciezable or is it that the timings are out or any other advice will be highly appreciated Thanks in advance.

To clean out the oil pan after I drained the cruddy oil out, I took about 1/2 gallon of kerosene and one of those 12.99 battery operated transfer pumps from harbor freight and let is circulate through the sump for about 5 mins. I rigged up a funnel to catch the fluid with a rag to filter it as it drained out the oil drain hole and into a catch pan where I had the pump sucking it back up and pumping back into the oil fill hole. I did a second flush with fresh kerosene and it was a lot cleaner... so I figured it was good enough.

I have found the Marvel Mystery oil work great, better than diesel fuel, or wd40, or just about any other stuff. Also adding some ATF into the crankcase helps clean and was the crud out, then after running a little while, change filter & oil as you said. I would run a little MMO in the fuel to lubricate the valve train while riding, go by what the bottle says to use. Hope that helps, it has for others, like me, plus it smells good. lol

I have a 2006 Kawasaki ex250 with a seized motor. i took off the stator cover to expose the bolt connected to the crank. It is not the small bolt with the large bolt behind it, like on your Yamaha, only a 12mm bolt that unscrews counter clockwise, and barely budges going clockwise, until it gets so tight i dare not push it any further. I think, looking at parts blowup, this is connected to the crank, but it is small and looks fragile. Doesn't the Ninja have a crank bolt to try and unseize the thing? There are no video out there on Ninja 250 motors being free'd up. The local dealer said an engine rebuild is more expensive than the bike is worth and he could try and figure it out but 95.00 an hour to do it. Any thoughts on how to handle these 250 cranks?

Well yknow you can try to put it in gear and rock the bike back and forth to free it up, but honestly it makes a lot more sense to me to just replace the motor. You can buy a used motor on ebay for 200-300 and put it in yourself in 3 hours or so, these bikes its really easy. I have a few videos up of motor swaps and removal/installations, they are mostly on 4 cyl motors but the concepts are the same

The stator and starter gears looked very clean despite the residue in the oil. Whats your take on a bike that was in salt water for 3-4 hours? (Hurricane sandy) its a 74 cb 550 that had some work done on it . Top end rebuild and a bunch of other stuff. I took the plugs out, kicked it over , a little water spit out , put plugs back in , it started up. I drained the oil, didnt see any white salt residue. changed the oil and filters 2 times. I think im ok, rode it many times since, but i'm still waiting for the UNSEEN bug to rear its head... any thoughts?

If it was only submerged a short time, and you changed the oil several times since and it is still running good, then Id say you escaped any real damage. Flooded bikes and especially saltwater flooded bikes usually seize much harder and have lots of corrosion, but I think you are gonna be ok

forgive me if im being really stupid but hopefully you can help. ive a honda cb400n superdream had it running about 4 months ago and now it wont. cant turn it over by hand or anything. if you fill it up with WD40 what happens to the WD40 does it just evaporate?
@mrmaxstorey
@mrmaxstorey 10 жыл бұрын
Basically the WD40 gets eaten up by the motor, burned off in about a minute and you are good to go. However, its unusual for a motor to seize from rust in only 4 months. If your motor is truly seized, it is most likely to be mechanically seized, either from eating a valve or spinning a bearing or something like that. Any motor can be rebuilt, sometimes its less labor intensive to replace it. Depending on how close you are to DC, I actually have a good CB400 motor i can let you have for $50. Regardless of how it goes good luck to ya

cheers for your reply its very helpful. unfortunatly ive not had much of a chance with work commitments to fiddle with the bike im also in the UK so cost even tho i would snap your hand off for the motor the postage/shipping will be horrendous. ive got a friend coming over possible at the weekend to help me remove the engine its going to be a long restoration but its a learning curve and theres no rush to it as ive got my gorgeous CBR 600 RR. thanks again

what if you get like a pop or back fire coming from the intake? So I removed the carbs and tried spraying starter fluid and then used pressed the starter button and got like a flame coming from the intake....

Yeah youll get that if you just spray starter fluid into the intake with no carbs. It could be a sign of timing off, fouled spark plugs, or no problem at all just drowned in starter fluid. Clean the carbs, replace the spark plugs, put it all back together and next time just spray a little starter fluid into the airbox if you are trying to start up the bike

Hi, I have a neco one b 50cc scooter, was riding out maybe 3miles or so oil line came lose with the clip, I noticed quite quick as the power went downstraight away so I stopped reconnected the oil line. I went straight back home, but scooter kept overheating every 5mins. and cutting out.... By the 3rd time my battery was dead so I couldn't try restart. I got home , I topped up the oil, let the scooter sit for maybe 12 hours and charged the battery for 12 hours. Now its not starting. it turns over and its spitting small amount of white smoke and it sounds like its close to starting but it just wont. Do I need to check anything engine wise? to see if this disconnected oil did any damage? or possibly clean anything? Just wanna avoid taking to dealership.... for a pricey fix. Thanks in advance
