    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi guy's. After a lengthy rebuild & checking/rechecking everything I could think of I have a buddy comeing out sunday to help me get the eng. into the frame. My concern now is making sure nothing burns up after the initial start up. During rebuild, crank. tranny & rings it was all coated w/ 50w oil + a thin sheen of black moly on the cam lobes/rockers. I think the oil pump is self primeing & should start pumping very quickly does that sound right? Of course since I was there I checked out the pump & did clean it up w/2k sand paper, mic. and all within specs. Does anyone have any other tip's that may help?
 
Put oil in the crankcase.:p

Don't run the bike too long without a fan blowing on the engine.

Have some sort of bubbly beverage on hand to celebrate after it fires up!:D

Nessim not only do I have the " buddy beverages " covered there will be BBQ. Should be a good time. Brats & burgers all the way!
 
Make sure you remove the paper towels you stuffed in the intakes or carbs before you fire it. Ask me how I learned that one. Good luck!
 
If you have a new high lift cam you should plan on breaking it in at first start. I'm not fully versed on the process, but think you raise the rpm some for a few mins. on the first start. Do some research if this cam business applies otherwise, never mind.:o
 
FLH. lol, yes I do have towels stuck in the intake. Funny!! made me chuckle.
 
Mr. Ness. No I do not have high lift cams, everything other than the new/used crank& tranny- rings are oem. Believe me I would have loved to bore & fiddled w/ the cam but it is not in the budget. Side note. I rebuilt my 86 Honda xr600r, dual carbs... a fast dirt bike w/mega tourqe. Bored to 628, high lift cam, hard welded rockers. High comp. piston valves etc.. I had this bike snort'in like a champ. I did not think far enough down the line & spun the countershaft + scored the cylinder beyond hone. The next bore is 650... p.s. I had an oversized cylinder put in to accept larger bores. That thing kicks back like a mule.. so it sits. Thought you mite be interested.
