I only get water in mine when my bike and I go for a swim in a Canadian stream. :wall:

Was quite refreshing. :D

You see, Zipper does not really even have to go that far from home to get the same results! Just goes to show you the type of things these motors must try to encounter!

Another reason why the factory may elect to go with a C4 bearing, or with a special coating to do something!

If wou wash water through the filter it is guaranteed to take the DIRT with it! As compared to a paper filter, they have NO resistance!

And even the best filters are only efficient down to a certain size particle that may pass, there is ALWAYS normal wear and tear!

Fine dust here in the dry summer can be maybe worse than any mud or dirt you may normally encounter! Well oiled filter is your only hope! :thumbup:

Good job then!

Cannot help but remembering my early years, the motor was usually found on mom's kitchen table when it got too cold outside!

Remember a later year with a motorless Maico setting on the balcony of a 2'nd level apartment, kitchen table again! That beat doing it all in the back of the van. Cost too much to keep the motor running for heat!

Zipper, are you listening? :(

My wonderful wife makes sure that the furnace in the garage is turned up to a very comfortable temperature when I wish to work on my bikes. This keeps me and the bike parts in the garage and not on the kitchen table or living room carpet. She either really loves me or really loves the table and carpet.

A neighbor I once had rebuilt a V-8 in his living room. with complete use of an engine stand. Funniest thing I ever saw.

Have known some people that have stored motorcycles in the den and living room also. I am kinda jealous actually.

Fellas..If anyone else is out there thinking of having a go...the only specialist tool I used was a flywheel puller which I already had to alter the timing on all my previous Shercos.

I'm sure all you TC people are able to make a flywheel holder..and the best bit..I found you can hold the front sprocket shaft with a metric socket,letting you do the clutch.

Hey..up here for thinkin' down there for dancin'. :(

If you have an air compressor, which you need to do tires, the next thing is a good RATTLE GUN(impact wrench)! A good 3/8 drive will take off most all them big nuts like nothing. No holding fixtures required!

A 1/2 in gun can be used, but be careful on assembly!

Scribe them all prior to disassembly so you can go back to the same or just slightly more tension on assembly! Done :( !

I did use a rattle gun to get them off but I wouldn't trust myself with one when I need to tighten things up....power corrupts, you know!
