• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Okay i got the bike running! UNFORTUNATELY something is ALSO wrong with cylinder one... compression is good, but oil is coming from the exhaust from that cylinder, and smoke. I assume its oil. I dont even know where to start, i was soo happy when it started then that took a u-turn. 3 codes...

    I’m not 100% sure that there’s no gas. I did think about double checking timing however I installed it with all the lines matching up correctly so I don’t see how I could’ve messed up the timing and when it does turn over I don’t hear anything wrong with the cylinder no odd noises. Is the only...

    @peter aawen, i think freddys quote seems to be the most likely. because when i looked at the Cam cap again today when cleaning the garage up and organizing, i noticed cracks in 2 more spots that were sure to brake very soon. @Bayoubill, I will inspect. I hope they are fine!!! Really wish it...

    Cam shafts seem okey, however the used head i ordered on ebay is complete so it will have everything. @freddy i was able to retrieve the Tensioner! @Haikanko The oil was pretty low when i got it, none what so ever in the tank. @navydad piston looks good after cleaning it, i only see one spot...

    @Freddy i forgot that step unfortunately :( A piece that was also broken: Camshaft Bearing Cap, is not replaceable as they dont have a part number or a price on any site i have searched. But i found a rear head off of a running bike on ebay fully intact so i purchased that, which will infact...

    DONT CALL ME AN IDIOT! But i just realized i removed the cylinder too haha, let me go separate the two and see if i can see damages. On the bright side the rings didnt look good and now the will get replaced.

    Managed to get the head off without removing the engine like it says to do in the Manual. Here are some pictures. Is the piston savable? i see damage but can it be saved? it needs new rings thats for sure, gonna have to figure out how to install the rings, and seat the piston the the head...

    @freddy, its stuck in the down position, however it comes up very slightly, point im making is there some movement but not enough to do anything. From the manual i believe its the intake. Why wont it be pretty :( P.S. i realized i can see all 4 valves from certain angles, and all the others...

    No compression

    No compression (0 psi) from the rear cylinder, front has 185 psi. Never had a case of 0 psi, any idea what im dealing with? Could it be as "simple" as a head gasket? or am i looking at a potential hole in my piston lol.
