Kickstarter locked up
While riding in the snow yesterday night, I had to take a break since I was quite exhausted from batteling the 15cm of wet snow.
I stopped the engine, had a chat with my riding mates, and kicked it over a couple of times. Didn't start.. On the third kick the kickstarter stopped against something hard. The lever moves from the resting position and to the position where it engages. There it is full stop. As I have a Rekluse clutch, I'm unable to push start it, and had to haul it out with the help of a rope and a strong friend. Haven't opened it yet, will wash and dismantle during the weekend. I hope ist is just a displaced spring or some other "simple" cause. Anyone with experience to share? The bike has now done 310 hours, and I'm afraid it's beginning to show its age. That don't fit my plan, as I had planned to ride it for at least a couple of more years before buying something else. Hmmm...

It certainly sounds like the crank spacer bolts have come out of the crank and jammed against the rod. Pull the stator cover and turn the motor over by hard to confirm.
Which bike?

I think you nailed it. The crank movies freely, up to a point. There, it is full stop. Tearing down the motor, then... I guess I have to split the cases, and also split the crank? I have planned some winter service. Its time for a new piston, but I didn't plan pulling the engine out of the frame this winter. I already have my supermono motor on the bench, so it gets a bit crowded in my small workshop. At least I will not be idle during Christmas holidays...

I wish I wasn?t right... but yeah split the crank to fix. Hopefully the plastic stuffers are ok. They can be a pain to get. Plenty of green loctite on the bolts.

The crank stuffer bolts can be replaced without splitting the cases.
Pull the cylinder off and use a short allen wrench. Just make sure you get any loose pieces out. |

Not all of them. There is one or two under the rod that you can not get to. I do not know about you but I do not half ass jobs on critical engine parts. Best off to split the crank and do it properly.

Now I have split the cases and the crank is ready for rebuild with a new rod. And of course, a new countersunk M6 bolt
I couldn't get the OEM crank bearings and seals, so I ordered them from a local industrial supply shop (before diamantling the engine). However, when I opened the engine, I found the crank seals to be brown in color. I expect the seals I receive to be black , as are all the other seals in the engine/gearbox. Does this matter? Are the brown seals of another / better suited material (viton?) Any insight would be appreciated. Sent fra min YAL-L21 via Tapatalk
