Dirty Engine :/

[AussieATC]

I think you have it all wrong lol.

I pulled the engine case off to check the clutch shoes as one of you guys had suggested and that was when I found all the shavings. I spent an hour or so cleaning it all out and then replaced the shoes. After doing so I took it for a drive to test if the engine braking was fixed but it only improved slightly. The cliff post was just a joke as I was getting annoyed with the bike that day.

"I have two spare engines. I am not sure weather they are steel or aluminium though."

I don't know where you got that quote from I was referring to the shaving being aluminium or steel. And one of my spare engines is nearly brand new so yeh...

Post 16 - I think you have it all wrong lol.

If I have anything wrong it is simply because your explanation of the series of events is seriously lacking in detail and accuracy.

Yes, that is clear from your comments in post 1 pasted below.

Is this what occurred in your previous post from a month ago? Yes/No

Post 1 - Recently when I pulled my engine case off to replace the clutch shoes I noticed there was a lot of steel shavings (5mm thick layer) lying at the bottom of the engine. I am

Ok, so you had a “lot” and a “5mm thick layer” of metal shavings a month ago then “attempted” to clean them out.

Well I could be wrong but the centrifugal clutch is disengaged during decelleration, that is why it is called CENTRIFUGAL. The engine braking is caused by the one way bearing and the primary clutch, this is why I and others told you your bearing was likely bad last month.

Did someone tell you your bike had no engine braking because your centrifugal clutches were worn?

Why get mad at the bike just because you are not experienced enough to fix it?

“I have two spare engines. I am not sure weather they are steel or aluminium though."

I don't know where you got that quote from


That is an EXACT quote from you that you made on post #7 and you’re saying you don’t remember it?

I was referring to the shaving being aluminium or steel.


You did not ask that, you CLEARLY stated "I have two spare engines. I am not sure weather they are steel or aluminium though."

Now I know they talk a little differently "down under" as you Aussie's call it but there is CLEARLY no mention of metal shavings anywhere in your quote is there?

And one of my spare engines is nearly brand new so yeh...


Yeh what, what point are you trying to make? l don’t know what this has to do with your metal shaving problem.

Xxxxx

You are now more vague than ever and have not answered most of my questions.

How much metal is currently in your bike?

Why did you remove the clutch cover this time?

Did you ever replace the one way bearing?

Are you going to give a clear concise detailed, accurate answer to any questions?

Just wondering.... if you have a like new engine, why not just put that on your rider and ride it and keep the one that has odd wear signs (metal shavings) as a parts / backup engine?
