    Hey just putting mine together I’m at the shift forks and the shaft. I have two thin washers that fit only that shaft perfectly and they were on top but I feel they go on the bottom of the lowest shift fork out of the two on that shaft. I don’t see any on yours or in the manual??? Thanks

    • @amapowersports1479
      @amapowersports1479  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If it's the shaft I'm thinking of then watch video at 9:32. After the spring and clip you put one washer on, the smaller one, then slide shaft thru crankcase. The other larger one then goes on, covering the seal and finally a clip. Good luck I hope this was helpful and you subscribed lol..

      Ugh! Sorry this was my first video and I been trying to resolve an issue with the mem card corruption that happens to a few videos each session. If you look at that again you will see me tighten the clutch hub nut and then if you look at the base during the first carbon you will notice a steel plate is now there. I didn't catch I'm missing a clip. Under that is the wave washer, washer plate (spacers) and the one special carbon drive plate. I apologize for the issue, any feedback on preventing files from being corrupted on memory cards will help me have more accurate videos in the future...

    Hey, Great video, currently using to help rebuild my Z400!
    Question - at 4:00 is that an O-ring you install? I cant see that in the manual. If it is what is it for? Thanks!

    • @amapowersports1479
      @amapowersports1479  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You know what I'm glad you pointed that out because I've never seen that in other engines either. Lol I also could not find it in the manual. These videos were intended so the customer can see their motor being assembled. Im still new to posting them on utube.. In this case there was already an old o-ring there so I put a new one back. This particular motor had been rebuilt before so I was afraid if I didn't install a new one it may lead to a specific issue with this specific engine that somebody added to resolve. If that makes sense... I forgot to edit it out for the utube version. Sorry I caught most of the unique stuff and removed it but Thanks for the feedback a diff set of eyes can catch these sort of things... someone also mentioned a tab lock washer that I installed after recording then posted the wrong clip lol.. you can see in the comments below, don't forget it.. again sorry this is only like my 5th video but I hope it is helpful. im working on allot more coming soon with better details & editing... thanks!

    Grate video ..question iv got a big problem..i recently bought an 03 z while removing throttle cable im pretty shour the small brass piece that holds the end of the cable in the carb fell in to the oil vent hose below it.the one that gos in to the base of the cylinder head!!!!..sounds dumb but i must have blinked while geting out of the carb,it sliped ot of my fingers and diapered..i lookt everywhere found nothing.. so i hoped i just lost it but when go to ride it my clutch feals funny and it poped out of gear twice.!.! so how far am i going to half to tare this engin down to find it ? or what do i do? please/thankyou

    • @amapowersports1479
      @amapowersports1479  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aw man that sucks! I been there, ugh. Well you can try changing the oil first and see if it comes out. Next, try pulling the side covers and looking in the little valleys along the bottom of the engine block. If that fails then the brass, being soft metal, probably smashed somewhere in the trans fork/ shifter drum valley... that's worse case and to get to trans you would have to do everything I did in the video. You do have to split the cases to get to the trans.. sorry. Good luck, I hope you find it sooner! Let me know if you have any more questions.

      Sorry this was like my first video and I learned allot. If your asking how to get the two cases together you have to use some spacers and a nut to press the crankcase onto the crankshaft. See 5:20 mark then right after read the blue print across the scene which explains the part installing the case bolts was corrupted from the memory card.... hope this helps, subscribe my next ones are much more detailed!

    I cannot get the nut at 6:45 to come off, I needto change my timing chain. Any tips? I put a socket on the crank shaft from the cover plate on the other side of the motor but it still spins.. Also I know its reverse threaded. I'm debating on splitting the case the motor sat with the jug off of it for probably 10 years. theres stil some oil in there so i doubt its rusty but im more worried about debris. Think I should go ahead and split it or just flush it out with oil?

    • @amapowersports1479
      @amapowersports1479  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, first on the question for breaking the nut lose. You can leave it sit overnight after spraying some brand of nut buster on it. Apply several times heavily. but my main suggestion would be using an air impact with a min strength of 400 or 500 psi . I usually just hold the connecting rod in one hand to prevent spin and hit it with the impact in the other. Just be careful how you lock down on the connecting rod you can break it that's why I usual just hold it. The nut buster would still help. There are also many forms of tools you can buy to lock the gears from turning. On the question of whether or not you should split the cases id say it depends on these factors. First, do you have a press and the tools to preform the job throughly? These customers are spending allot of money on these projects so they don't want to risk getting finished and the motor wears out in a year or two, they plan to keep these bikes. By splitting the cases you can replace the crankshaft and all the bearings/seals to "reset the clock" on an used engine. The main other reason to split cases is to replace damaged parts or transmission like an R6 video I'm working on now that broke off the sprocket to the chain. Finally there's high performance reasons. Some of these videos are replacing the stock crankshaft for a stroker and OS piston. If none of these apply to you i wouldn't go that far. So if you don't plan on keeping it long or don't have damaged parts or don't want high Performance parts then just flush it out really well while you have the engine open. Hope this helps!... let me know if you need better details. Also you can call us directly www.amapowersports.com the numbers listed on the site. Good luck!

I just couldnt get it to quit spinning. Also I do not believe I possess the necessary tools to properly split the case. So I think it would be better for me to not go that far. Especially since I dont plan on replacing anything in there. thanks bud!

      @@amapowersports1479 woo i got it off. really easily this time.. I just stuck a screw driver in between 2 of the gears. impact knocked it off like it wasnt even on tight. another question. I noticed after getting a good light and looking into the case from the top hole where the crank comes out of, there doesnt seem to be any large debris but looks like a lot of dust and lint. what would be the best way to flush all of that out? and will it hurt anything with it in there?

    • @amapowersports1479
      @amapowersports1479  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awesome! Glad it helped. Sitting years with the jug off should Def be flushed out. If you sit the motor upright... piston top pointed to the ceiling, then you'll see along the bottom of each side there's open slots that allow oil to sit along the bottom of the motor. You can leave the side covers off and flush in thru the cylinder as it flushes out those bottom openings OR put side covers on temp then fill up motor thru cylinder. Next day, drain and flush the first way. We use desiel and kerosene to flush them out.. good luck I hope you subscribed!

      We stock all the parts needed and then discount it as a "kit". Usually it's all "cylinder works", "hot rod" and "hot cam" brand parts so they are made to go together. If you like you can call the business at 757-794-3272. We will help you decide on your own kit, you can pay directly over the phone, we offer free shipping in the US and if you mention this utube video we will give you another 100 dollars off!

      Thank you for the feedback! This Is an "edited video" and there are some labor designated things that are not visible. This was due to either being not visible in the shot/angle, the data was corrupt or it was cut for reasons like video size or speed. Im doing all my own editing, audio and filming so I'm still learning as I go and I'm still really green to utube. I'm also trying to run a very busy Powersports business by myself. if only I had a way to post the work being done each day. My main objective in this video was to show each part as it was installed so the viewer could do the same. Hence the slower speed when the part comes close to the camera and then it's applied. I felt this info would be the most useful for someone without all the unnecessary chatter. I been applying this method to my videos since. This is my no means a video for someone that has no mechanical experience to fill in the blanks like lock tabs, torque specs and patterns. As I get better at filming I will get better at the details 😉...thanks again for your feedback i hope the video was still helpful..

      Hello sir, id have to ask which shaft specifically, is it a trans output shaft or you talking about the crankshaft. We charge based on how deep we go. Heads, piston, crank and trans. I can supply a hot rods complete engine rebuild kit if you give me a year, make and model. If it's the crank your asking about. Finally there's allot done to that motor that's not in the video, I'm still learning to edit lol. But that brings me to the head, so you want the valves lapped and grind, head planned and blasted or just leave them in. Help me with those answers and I can get you a estimate. Thanks!

      Its in the middle of the night here so I'll do my best lol. I believe internally they are the same. You couldn't swap one for the other due to some drive differences but the video would still be helpful with assembly. I always recommend following the service manual of your vehicle for things like torque specs and how to tell what needs replacement from wear. That being said maybe the video can help you simplify assembly but if you do run into a difference refer to manual. You can find a free pdf of your service manual on manualslib.com. the two tools together should Def help you with the task at hand. Good luck!
