Thats not a 5th gen 2 pc seat in the link. I have a 2pc 5th gen seat. I like the 2pc because I can put the rear cover on and it turns into storage. The bad is the cover doesnt fit over the rear piece because the seat is flat. I looked through every link on sargents site and couldnt find which bike that 2pc is for.

Went on a short ride and all seems good. Left fork was dry after the ride. I've read a bunch of guys using PB blaster to bring back life to O-rings and rubber parts. I'll give the right dust cover a coat of it to see if itll keep it soft. With winter around the corner, I dont feel like pulling forks, especually without a garage.

Engine needs to be fully warmed up too.

Dry test is what you want to do first. Wet test is only to see what kind of ring leakge you have. If you do a wet test first then you wont know whats going on. If the psi barely goes up when doing a wet test than the rings are doing their job. If it goes up a bunch then you have blow-by. Of course youre not going to have 100% sealage. You can have lower compression and not burn oil. Just depends on how the rings settled in and if your valves are closing all the way.

Compression average?

I believe someone used GSXR mirrirs with signals.

Now that Im thinking, Ive believe Ive seen some on mine when I did the 6th gen T-body swap.

Salvage yards write with those oil pens.

Anyone Ever Rebored/overbored A 5/6Th Gen

Please post pics or a vid of you priming the oil system. -
Popped the dust covers off. The left cover is fine because of the oil keeping it soft. The right is cracked. Right fork is dry and seal looks fine. Left fork is the leaker and seal looks fine. Got a business card and cleaned the seals. The left shaft is smooth but has vertical lines. I'll take a short ride and see what happens. I may just order new tubes.

Maybe american vehicles, but most japs I've dealt with are 199psi new. 150 or lower in a japanese engine and it's an oil burner. Dealt with enough of those.

HIGH MOUNT. Not oem muffler.
-
Late to the party and maybe a dumb question but has anyone tried to put a 5th gen high mount on?
-
Hey Rovari, do you plan on doing anything with the engine? I ask because with it been sitting for so long, I'm sure the rings have a high chance of being stuck. My last vehicle sat for less time and it burned a good amount of oil for a good while before the rings finally moved, but it never had great compression. Same thing with the engine I pulled from a wreck to do a swap. Every singe ring was stuck. Even the real thins ones around the oil ring. If you're not wanting to crack the engine open (wouldn't blame you), you could pour some ATF fluid or mystery oil/sea foam down the spark holes and let it soak for the time you're doing all this.

I love armchair critics! $600.00 for the bike, $700.00 in parts, $100.00 in taxes. Please let me know where I can get a running 5th with 10kms on the odometer for $600.00. That swing-arm is a thing of beauty! Post wasnt for you smart ass.

Well the Honda dealer here seems to be more interested in UTV's and offroad stuff so I doubt theyll ever get an 8th gen. Would love to see one up close.
-
I havent popped tge dust covers yet to see what the seals look like or try cleaning them. Would be nice if it was just some crud but I dont know how much oil Ive lost out of that fork so might as well do a rebuild. The bushings looked fine last time but I'll tally up the cost with them.
-
Tons of plowed fields here so that doesnt help.
-
For that much work, I would have paid a lot less. Good to see the bike not rotting away though.
-
Ive read about them, but I still dont fully understand how they can change the fork's function. I wish there was some upside down forks that would just bolt on with having to have all the extra parts and changing handle bars.
-
Should I get those valve cartridge things?
-
Thats what Im waiting on.
-
Candy, is that you doing the injector cleaning or where you there just watching? If first, do you clean others injecors? If second, hiw much was it to clean 4 injectors? I have a few sets of injectors that Id like to see how they flow.
-
I made a vid of the process. Ill trt to get it uploaded today

Theres also the seal for the push rod. I went ahead and got a new piston since it wasnt that much. Rather just use a new one than hope I got the old one smooth enough it does tear up the new seal. I did smooth out the slave cylinder. Id recommend fixing it asap. I got lucky and mine blew out when I was just taking off from a dead stop at my house.
