Ok, had a pretty good night. Got the new battery on. Got new plugs in, and she started. Carbs need adjusting, no biggy. However, as the previous owner told me, I have a right side oil seal leak. Having some trouble getting the right side cover off due to one fucking nut.... http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a.../rightside.jpg The manual is pretty vague on how to hold this thing and get it off. Gonna sleep on it. It will probably jump out at me in the morning. Any suggestions Derf? All in all, it was a good day. |
Brute force.
If I remember correctly you need to hold the crank from spinning on the other side (I think dont remember), and break it free. It should have been installed with locktight so it wont be easy to get off. Other than that nothing special to get it off |

Got the other side cover off. Went at it while sitting on the seat area and pulling like a mofo...nothing. Made a makeshift breaker bar out of two wrenches and voila, it broke. Got inside it, and yep, oil seal busted. Also the pin that holds the timing mechanism to the crankshaft was sheared off. Went to the stealership and got the parts ordered. While waiting on the parts, I started tinkering with the 1979 GS1000 that I picked up. But that will be another thread. |
be careful breaking parts, kawi doesnt make parts for that bike anymore. You can find most parts on bike bandit or used, but I had a front frum on mine and there was a cable that was snapped when I bought it that doesnt exist, couldnt find one new or used, wound up having to have one made for $50
