Hey man was your bike making any weird sounds before it happened? Or did it just happen out of the blue? Cause my bike is ticking like crazy and I adjusted the valves correctly and it still ticks bad wondering if it is my cam bearings like yamahaulers

 

[JonS]

Nothing out of the ordinary really. Sounded normal and happened out of the blue. It was overdue for an oil change as well, so I attribute some of the issue to that.

Damn man that sucks sorry to hear about your loss!! Haha did you see the pics of that cam?

Noice work! Getting ready to get back on her I see.

 

[JonS]

Yeah I hope saturday it will come in the mail.

So uhm yeah, I am stuck once again on this thing. I finally got the case back yesterday and the engine back together and in the frame. I have had to stop in my tracks.

How do you get the cam bearing off the camshaft. In my case I have the inner race stuck on the cam. It will not budge and I just barely got the thing to spin in place. What now? I don't have a press or bearing puller.

HEAT! It or break the bearing race, or cut it off

yeah i tried heating up and it didn't work. what do you recommend for cutting it off?

 

[duneracerweston]

Dremel and a super steedy hand, wrap the lobes in 3-5 layers of masking tape to prevent any possible damage

 

[JonS]

do you think regular cutoff disks will work for that race?

 

[88WarriorBoy]

yeah the black fiber cut-off discs should cut right through it

Runs great! I immediately cracked a smile. No weird sounds anywhere, no leaks, etc..

Also, felt right away the difference in throttle response since i did that valve stem cap mod to the carb.

Thanks everyone for your help.
