    Soak the clutch plates in engine oil for a minimum of 30 minutes (if you are in a hurry) but It's recommended to soak them over night or they will wear out faster.

      Done 30 seconds after a remark about reading the manual......

    • @BikesofRye
      @BikesofRye  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The manual suggests a soak in oil to prevent the clutch snatching on first start up.

      I never have and I've had clutch baskets wear out before the clutch plates on 125. One season I raced with two clubs, so it was 12 3-5 hour long enduros plus a couple of extras, and the clutch didn't wince even with the abuse they're given on a hard enduro course. My MX and enduro bikes regularly get their arseholes caved in on a track and I've never seen a single one of these supposed issues in 32 years of racing.

    Hammer's of Rye, no separator plate in the water pump housing so you've probably just torqued the outer casing directly onto the impellor. Also replace the locking pin on the end of the power valve actuator, the one you reused is as slack as Ghandi's flip flop!

    • @luddite6239

      Correct. I've shown the part number of the missing separator in an earlier comment.

      I was thinking exactly the same thing. He is learning, we all make mistakes, and to be fair he's done a good job on it. He also checked all the gears are engaging correctly before putting the rest of the engine together. I was taught this in college many years ago, and make it good practice.

      I really would look into soaking the friction plates in oil before trying it out.

    • @luddite6239
      @luddite6239 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Although it's "best practice" it's not essential - especially as this isn't going to be used seriously in competition. Just add the gearbox oil, spin the engine over with the clutch disengaged to coat the plates and then let it sit for a few hours. Take it easy at first start-up, don't aggressively slip the clutch for the first hour's use, and they'll be fine.

    3 things mate.....Did you check that the piston ring is the right way up? Take the reeds back out and trim the excess gasket material (crank case gasket) from the inlet tract. Finally remove the clutch and soak the friction plates in gearbox oil (the same type of oil you will use in the gearbox) for at least 24 hours. If you don't the clutch friction plates will tear themselves apart. Good luck

    • @BikesofRye

    Just a small note, when using the tourque wrench hold it at the end on the handle not half way down or the correct tourque wont be achieved and wont be consistant.
    Enjoying the build so far, reminds me of all the gearbox and top end rebuilds I did back in the 80's

  • @nogaragerequired
    @nogaragerequired 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I’ve not scanned the comments yet but I believe the clutch plates should be wet before assembly. Doesn’t need hours soaking but does need to be covered in oil before assembly.

    There may be a piece missing! When you replaced the water pump cover, you placed the two gaskets directly on top of each other. However, I believe there should be a thin metal plate that sits between the two so it should go: crankcase, gasket, metal plate, gasket, cover. Better check the manual I think 🤔.

    Remember that all the protective coating is also removed now from the flywheel. It will rust like h-ll if not put some clear or something on it. And isn't the power valve give you more of top end? At least it did in my old YZ 250 from -85. But I'm no moto cross expert...

    You may be about to anyway, but if not....... Invest in a Swann-Morton scalpel and some straight No 10 blades, and trim off all those bits of bright green gasket sticking out. It is quite normal for aftermarket gaskets to be wider than required (it makes them more resistant to damage/tearing when being fitted by the likes of us ham-fisted home mechanics). Gaskets sticking out is a bit of an indicator of a partly finished job. Keep it up mate, and you are obviously gaining experience - you haven't had to ask the delightful Nicole for advice on this one yet!! 😆👍

    Bits of detail goes a long way like colour in on the Honda name symbol on the plate you painted. Save the detail work for when you're in the mood, couldn't give a 💩 days not good for detail work 😂.
    Little tip might help, sometimes it's easier to look at the parts list exploded view and find what it is than a manual that's missing or wtf is this part moments.
    They're everywhere on the internet not hard to find.
    Wet clutch soak, the bike gurus have got u already on that so say no more 😂.
    Always good to look up common issues on what you're restoring, bit of reading when bored at home. See if it requires any fixes/mods that are much easier at nut n bolt restores.

    Call me pathetic, but I think the engine paint was a mistake. The original looks better and lets you know it's a real bike from a good time in history, I see an engine that looks like that, floods memories of Kurt Nicoll. Plus with a bike like that, the more original it is, the more pennies it's worth. With the thundercat, people prefer those done up and looking different.
    Either way, it's your pride and workmanship and you're doing a good job so thumbs up! Never too late to strip that paint off though ;) LOL
