Jon, recently had my cases cleaned by them, Dave did a good job, was thinking of getting him to re-bore my barrels for me.
Mr kipling, M Dent???
I did email Taymar Racing about crank rebuilds, never got back to me.

Has anyone had a crank rebuilt by Martin at Mad Bike Designs??
I know a lot of people on this forum have used Grampians i'm just a little worried about sending it by courier this time of year, what with so many parcels going missing and the way they are handled.

Managed to find a picture of it. www.flickr.com/gp/159274186@N05/Xixa07The Honda next to it was mine also, CB900 with a CB1100R engine fitted bored out to 1123, gas flowed and re-profiled cams, went like stink for an old girl. Tony

Dusty,
Thanks.
Did you plug the kick start hole prior to powder coating?? also what about the inside of the cover and the facing edges that go against the crank case, did you mask it up??

Had a Blue and White J owned it for 20 years, the riding position killed my wrists in the end, sold her to get the power valve

Thanks for all of your reply's.
Steely. yup I have founds Norbos shop, need plenty of self control whilst viewing all the goodies he has on there.
Barney. Had a look at your cases, looking good.
Carl. Just had a google and they seem to know what there doing, £50 for the Crank cases seems about right and it's not to far from me either.
hudtm60. Good luck with your build, will try to get some picture on here, you could have a look at the build dusty350 did on a ypvs engine, very interesting.
dusty350. was reading your YPVS engine rebuild thread during the week, found it very interesting and helpful too, did you remove the plastic breather nozzle at the back of the Crank Case before getting them blasted??

Started my first engine rebuild today, crank cases split and Crank removed, bearings are worn so it looks like a rebuild.
Will apologise in advance, going to be asking questions that have probably been covered many times before.
Has anybody had a Crank rebuilt by Chris Applebee or Taymar racing/motorcycles??
Can anyone recommend anybody that does vapour cleaning in the South East (i live in Sidcup) also powder coating.
Can i get away with using pattern parts on the power valves, bushes and seals??
Many Thanks
Tony...

I'm just about to start my first engine rebuild on my LC2 and it would be most appreciated if someone would replace the pictures on one of the ypvs engine rebuild posts, was gutted when Photof--kit decided to remove the previous images found them most helpful..
Tony.

Mr Kipling,
Had a friend do the same thing on his F2 ypvs, he decided to bump start it sitting side saddle, the thing shot off like a rocket with my mate running along side of it, looked like he was running at warp speed before him and the bike ended up in a big heap on the floor, he ended up with a nice cut to his arm and missing the May day run...

When i cleaned my tank out prior to lining it i put 20 self tapping screws in it as well as the metal agent and shook it for ages, screws helped remove any crap in the tank.

Always found the green house to be a good place for spraying bits, slightest bit of sunshine and its lovely and warm..
Any chance you can speed things up a bit, itching to see the finished project..

Ground the allen key down, now nice and tight, no play in the connecting joint, top end will have to come off after the summer though.
Thanks for your advice gents.

Having now filed the joint down i'm having trouble accessing the rear connecting joint bolt, should the valves turn through 360 degrees?? or is it a case of shortening my allen key?? the manual says to turn the valves and attach the connecting joint, doesn't say how far they are meant to turn.
Thanks
Tony

Have now removed the connecting joint (see photo)and it looks a little knackered.
jackjabba do yo think its worth trying to file it down a bit or replace it, the ends of the power valves don't look to bad.
Any ides where i can get a replacement one from??

Just checking the set up of my power valves and I've noticed i have considerable play in the connection joint so the right valve isn't operating as it should, will this have a major affect on the general running of the bike, i don't ride it like i stole it, so i'm not to worried about balls out performance, don't really want to be taking it apart this time of the year, want to be out riding it. Tony PS is it possible to overhaul the power vale units without removing the barrels ?

When the swing arm is placed into the frame prior to the pivot bolt being tightened there is side to side play which disappears once the bolt is tightened, is this correct??
Also once the bolt is tightened to the required torque the swing arm is quite stiff to move up and down is the ok??

Morning everyone,
Having a senior citizen moment this morning, i removed the fronts disc's a few weeks ago, thought i would remember which one went on what side as they are marked left and right, did i remember, NO! i bloody didn't, is that sitting on the bike or looking at it front on?
