I'm looking for a newer motor for a '95.  It doens't matter what year it is.  Just newer.  It can be 01-06 or 89-00.  Just a motor.  pm me if you have one. jerk outbid me on ebay in the last 30 secs on the last one.  It was 04 engine with 3,7xx miles on it. I want to choke that guy.

sucks man but good luck finding another one, did you get the CCT?? 

whats wrong with yours?

well, the cam chain guide on the back side where the tensioner pushes gave out.  It broke in two where the tensioner pushes so the chain was REALLY loose.  I thought about just getting a used engine instead of rebuilding this one.  But, I think I might just go ahead and rebuild it.  I think it will need a new cam chain and the back guide.  After that it shold work just fine.  It also has 20,xxx miles on it.  I pulled the head off and looked at the pistons and the cylinders and everything looks just fine.  I think I'm just going to replace the needed parts and it will be good enough for my GF to learn to ride on for now.  Besides, as soons as she gets comfortable she plans on buying a zzr-600.  She likes my zzr 1200 its just too big. 

Yeah, I got the tensioner.  Thanks again!

20000 miles thats only just worn in
ring around the breakers, some one should have a spare one lying about, lots of people have crashed them, one shouldn't be too hard to find:D
good luck

Yea man, just split the cases and replace the broken guide.  There is a spec for maximum cam chain stretch in the manual; as long as you are under that measurement you're golden.  You already have a new tensioner right? 

yeah, I already have the tensioner.  I pulled the head today and all the bolts to split the cases.  I just can't seem to get the cases apart.  I plan on ordering the haynes or clymer manual tomorrow so I can have a basic guide to do this by.  I'm a decent wrench I just haven't gone this far into a motorcycle engine before.  It is new to me to have a tranny hooked up to the crank and all in the same case.  I'm more used to 350 chevy's and what not.  I'm just going to rebuild it.  Thanks for picking on me enough to get me to do it. 

ha ha ha it was me!!!!! i won the engine  good luck













































no not realy, but i do have a 2004 with 20,980 on it right now and 1,k of race miles.  on this next valve check i want to do a entire rundown on the engine.

cam wear, cam chain wear, valve seat and compression test anda slew of other things

also the exhaust, which in on the side of the road. (fell off on the way to work LOL )

Well I suppose you could just type in the freakin URL and find out...?

There, now you can click on it.

get off the piss wagon bud, i guess you cant take a joke.

did you forget the bolts under the oilpan, and the 2 allen type hidden in the oil filter cavity? dont forget the one under the starter. and for GODS SAKE, get an inchpound torque wrench. some of those small ones around the tranny snap supper easy.

Man that motor went for some real money.  Maybe I should F my project bike and just part it out before I've spent money on it.  Then use the money to upgrade my current ride.  I don't know why I want 2 GS's anyway...

You need to split the cases to replace the cam chain guide? I thought you could do it with just taking the top end and the oil pan off. I've never done it but it seems like it'd be easier that way. at 20k there should be no reason to do any more rebuilding than just replacing the broken stuff.
