Thanks!

Thanks.

I’m sorry. I don’t work on clone motors. I really don’t know enough to comment.

Many manufacturers consider that to be a “non serviceable” bearing. In order words, if it needs replacement, the entire case half must be replaced. It normally won’t wear out. I have removed them with a blind bearing puller, but now I usually leave them alone.

@@brian.d.mobley thanks. I had to buy a used case and the bearings don't feel good and I have new bearings so I may try to replace that one too.

Thanks

I’m assuming you didn’t watch the video as that question is covered in the first two minutes.

Hi. It’s a semi automatic clutch so it’s non adjustable post assembly.

@@brian.d.mobley well is there a intial setting, do i just turn it until i can feel it touching the part the three steel balls ride on, then lock it in place?

Haha. Well I did get that wrong initially, but as the video shows, that mistake was addressed and rectified.

@@brian.d.mobley I know you fixed the mistake in 18 minutes. I was taking my shock apart to clean it today but cant take the shock adjuster off to clean. I will have to strip the shock down to do that. So your video is Amazing on how to strip the shock right down. Thank you for this video. You have save me sending the shock off to be rebuilt.

SO glad it helped! That was an early video and was a little clumsy compared to my newer work. So glad it saved you some trouble!

I don’t think they rebuild motors. Look up SoCalMinitrail on Instagram. They may be able to help.

Thank you. I’ve gotten side tracked a little bit lately working on my Private Pilots License. I had no idea how all encompassing it would be! Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked it! It’s an early one and I was pretty inexperienced with videography back then.

Hi Zach. That is totally normal and usually due to cylinder pressure. Good question!

@@brian.d.mobley thanks for quick reply

@@zachdavis2641 My pleasure!

@@brian.d.mobley another quick question. Should have asked with original question. Do I need to hold the flywheel at T while timing? Or just let the flywheel settle out of t position then set cam gear?

@@burstable252 It’s a free country, so you don’t have to. I’ll just say that if you don’t want to do the job as recommended by the manufacturer, you’re risking the reliability of your repair.

@@brian.d.mobley oh ok thanks

Glad you found it useful! Thank you for subscribing!

It’s really had to say without having the bike in front of me, but my instinct suggests that a non OEM shift lever is being used.

Thank you! Cheers!

I use Honda OEM spec transmission fluid. amzn.to/3Wwn9MZ

It’s really not possible for me to say without having the head in my possession for evaluation. If you’re unsure, take it to a motorcycle dealership and have it evaluated by an experienced mechanic.

@brian.d.mobley thanks for the reply, great video

@@leviharris900 So glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching.

So glad it helped!

Thanks Sunevel!

Hey! I fabricated that out of plate steel. Sorry!!

I’ve applied A LOT of graphics on curved surfaces and while my way takes longer, it SHOULD result in the use of far fewer curse words! Thanks for watching!

Oh man….. It’s hard to say, but go over your service manual carefully and make sure you didn’t miss something!!!

Because this motor powers such a wide variety of bikes, it’s not practical to cover all the variations of the lever install. Sorry.

@@tacroom12 Honestly, i don’t think so. However, TBOLTUSA may have some options for you. They are great for all that performance stuff for smaller bikes.

@@brian.d.mobley thank you Brian. I did find that xr/crf80 forks will mount right up and provide more travel. I found complete sets on eBay at a decent price.

Hey Marc. Cold pressing is actually the factory recommended method, but it’s fine to use the method you suggest. I created a video about different bearing replacement procedures and, for me, I just feel pressured to get everything completed quickly when I use the method you mentioned. Cold pressing is lower stress (for me) and I feel better when I can take my work slow and carefully. But, again, that’s just me. My personality demands precision so I find myself drawn to procedures that suit my OCD nature! Thanks for watching and for sharing your question.

Hey Joey! That is a good question! Honestly, I’m not sure, but there are definitely plenty of them around and available for purchase.

Yes they did lol they got a 50 cc and 110cc

In sand, my guess is that powdercoat would hold up better, honestly.

@@brian.d.mobley thank you

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

Hi Send Memes. Im not sure exactly what you mean regarding drum movement. Lateral movement like runout or rotational movement while shifting. If the engine is operational, can you share with me whether the transmission comes out of gear during operation?

@brian.d.mobley it pops out of gears in first and second like there false neutrals and the shifting drum the pins that slide out into the drum to pick the slot to move it in the next gear don't do anything unless you actaully jam the shifter or kick it down or up one thing I do know tho is I will never be buying another honda after this bike tho complete lemon clutch wont engage nothing works on it and I've put over 50 hours into this engine alone

@@brian.d.mobley and the engine was operational till I stalled it in 4th gear cause my clutch doesn't work at all when I've put it together exactly how everyone says just snug not overtightened so I have no idea I'm just gonna sell this thing for cheap

Noted.

If you would like to sell it, up to you. You can also join our CR85 Owners Group on Facebook for more tips and helps from a community of CR85 owners. facebook.com/groups/545886302210401

Hey Make or Break! About the same as the factory paint. Boot rub still wears off the Cerakote. But otherwise, looks good. Thanks for watching.

@@brian.d.mobley thats great thanks for the video 👍👍

Absolutely! Glad to help!

✌🏻

Sorry. I don’t know the specifics of the shifter for that motorcycle.

So nice of you! Thank you!

Its Burnt Bronze. I did a video on Cerakoting that cover too if you are interested. Its in the channel library.

The cases are 2001. The gearbox is from a newer model.

It’s essentially the same procedure but the engine featured in this video is a 2007. Best practice is to supplement your knowledge base with the factory service manual.

Essentially, it’s opposite of what I cover in this clip regarding the stud installation procedure: czcams.com/video/vkCn1m0Zjb4/video.html

Good tips!

Cool! Good luck. It’s fun working on the valve train.

Good idea!
