Good afternoon all. It's probably been covered somewhere on here but I can't find it, so beta 300ss with grimeca brakes. Back brake started locking after 10 mins I've greased everything up and changed the pads but the retaining clip is missing ( I'm assuming it should have 1) could this be my problem and where would I get 1 if so I've looked everywhere online and had no joy. Thanks
The hiss was one brief noise as I put the thing in neutral it hasn't hissed since but that was definitely the start of the leak. I'm thinking a seal somewhere but haven't the faintest idea where
Another update, bike starts and rides lovely however after a short test ride, I came to a stop and when I put it in neutral there was an audible hiss and now it's p****** oil out of the crank breather. Any ideas anyone?
Just to update, proper wood ruff key came today. ( I'd bodged one that nearly fit) now fitted with timing retarded 5mm and it started 2nd kick and runs a treat. As for dodgy smells I'm still no wiser but the bellowing smoke has gone so who knows what that was
It was pushing the fuel into the exhaust then firing it. Burning the oil build up in the pipe, that's my theory anyway. However got it all back together and it won't start at all now so £@?@ knows
Wood ruff key definitely gone bud so stator could be anywhere on the shaft so its got to be that, I'm just relieved its not something drastic that I can do myself, thanks for the kick start info. It just means my son was right. I am a pussy
Cheers gents I'll keep you informed,
An after thought probably unrelated but kicking it up there is a point in rotation that will literally take my weight all 13.5 stone, I've had loads of 2 strokes and never had one this hard to kick is that normal?
Hi folks need help, sherco 290 firstly its been running fine however fired it up Sunday and after a million kicks it fired up but was mis firing big time then started bellowing smoke that smells of burning rubber. It won't tick over and the engine isn't knocking or anything.
Any ideas folks
