Hey guys hope you like this one! Just a heads up it is going to be hard for me to keep the Saturday morning upload schedule, I will still post videos regularly, don't forget to hit your notification bell so you don't miss any uploads! As always thanks for watching!
I am doing this right now I’m my garage.when I saw how you split the crank with 7/16-20 allthread, & a 18mm wrench,…you inspired me to just do it. Hooked and following
@@kentuckyyankee the crank pressed back together exactly perfect 🥰. Before it was three thousandths off, but was able to tune it to a measurable zero. Under a thousandths to me. Once again thank you, you're a great inspiration to me. I was able to do this for about $300
Nice job guys for the first try . I used to rebuild T500 cranks eight hours a day back in the 70"s. To measure crank runout correctly use V block's under the outer bearings and measure runout at the crank ends. You can only true cranks by moving the outer cheeks, they pivot on the rod end journal. You are correct at .0025" for the runout limit.
Thanks for these videos, there isn't much information on these bikes. It's nice to have visuals of the internals and procedures. I have a 72 as well and the guy who gave it to me unfortunately passed away. He knew everything there was to know about them.
thanks for the video, im trying to start a gt380 barnfind too here in brazil the bike has sat for 30 years but the engine still has good compression and turns freely. im getting the carbs clean because they were all covered in ethanol gas. keep posting the videos man, i love it, its an inspiration for my project
Good video! The seals between both rods are labyrinth-seals (= no wear)? Do you know if the Suzuki-triples are also equipped with labyrinth-seals between the rods? Thanks!
No sir, I was told that by an old Automotive teacher years ago and took it as fact, don't mean to mislead anyone just never really thought about it. Always good to do your own research, I actually appreciate you calling me out I just never thought about it.
Well the old timer wasn't wrong but might have been using terminology that predated the internet. Regular grease isn't as fine as assembly grease just like assembly grease isn't as fine as bearing grease or pressing grease. Just like machine oil differs from fully syn engine oil differs from regular engine oil. Personally I have no idea what would happen if you used some sort of ultra high temp tractor axle grease in place of bearing grease on a crank journal for a modern turbo car. But it makes sense that the additives writhing the grease or formula of grease itself if more coarse/fibrous. More of a thesaurus answer but should point you in the right direction for what to Google. Not so much (is assembly lube/grease less fibrous?) As much as (how assembly lube is made)

@@fillistercarson7571 Thanks! Good luck with your project!
It came apart just like you did, and the bearing was easy to get off too. Replaced inner seals and o-rings, and going back together...your awesome!
@@fillistercarson7571 Good deal glad to hear it!

Thanks! Cool old bikes!
Thanks for the video and taking the time to share, we are at that stage splitting the crank,
Take your time, good luck!
Another interesting & enjoyable video. I like your confidence. Looking forward to your next installment.
Glad your enjoying the videos, thanks for watching!
Dang man. Never seen balance done that way. Good show.
Thanks Daniel!
Crazy good balance. I would be so happy
I almost kept going 😂😂 thought i better not push my luck
How's she goin'? Nice job on the rebuild and alignment!!! Take care!!!

Thanks for watching! That's an awesome bike good luck with it!
that was a video thanks for the information been looking for days on ideas doing a similar thing
Thanks! Good luck
Well done guys, I guess if you think you can do something, you can ! 👍
Job well done!
Thanks Motorped Wizard!
Thank you so much, I'm planning to rebuild my yamaha rd 125 twin crankshaft, this surely give me some insight.
You're welcome, wish you the best of luck!
Great video. Very instructing :)
Thanks for watching!
This guy could do voice over for Dusty from Paradise PD 😂
Great video 👌👌
Thank you!!
Good video! The seals between both rods are labyrinth-seals (= no wear)? Do you know if the Suzuki-triples are also equipped with labyrinth-seals between the rods? Thanks!
Thanks, I haven't worked on any triples so I don't know, just guessing I think they would be the same
thanks ....good work
You're Welcome, thanks for watching!
Where did you get the seals? Link
Got a question about your statement that grease can be fibrous, assembly lube is not. I cant find that info anywhere online. Can you validate?
