4. during the WOT 4-5 shift the motor locked up.

He said the bike sounded normal and the ran clean with no odd noises or vibrations.

It is leaking coolant from the newly ventilated crank cases. The hole is about 7 to 10mm wide and 35mm long (5/16 to 7/16 wide and 1 7/16 ling) directly below the crankshaft.

I will pull it apart this week. It is locked solid. The trans oil looks fine and it rolls in neutral fine. I hope the cases can be saved.
A locked solid engine and a hole in the crankcase doesn't sound promising Good luck with it.

He did have Klotz R50 in it and the sparkplug looks terrific. I checked it before I bought it.

My guess is either the rod let go or a crank stuffer bolt came out. I will see if I can make time to pull the engine tonight.

I really hope the cases can be saved because I do not have any spares for that engine.

I guess some welding and milling should do the trick?

If all goes well that should take care of it. This is a 2002 so the cases are different from the 2011 and newer bikes. Otherwise I would buy the bottom end on the parts link. The cases and crank were different in 2011.

Fit up a 5.8kg/mm spring, changed the oil and stiffened the rebound valving. Wrote it all down so I will get it on a thread here with the forks valving as well soon.

That's great Nate. Look forward to seeing the Gasser's valve stacks. I'm about to dive in their myself

Started the annual winter service. Tried out the HydraForce to pump out some dents on the exhaust expansion chamber.




It worked well, actually so well that a weld split open. Off to the local welder, then...


Also started rebuilding the forks and removed the shock to send it off to Reiger for service.
