The newer Volvo and Mercruiser bearings are sealed and require no grease maintenance but the OEM replacements don't have the external grease hole or the circumference grove that was there to allow the bearing to locate in any position as long as the retainer split was oriented to the grease hole in the gimbal housing. The newer gimbal housings don't have a grease fitting and the gimbal bearing has no seal but has the metal shield. This aftermarket bearing looks like a cross between the early and late bearings. I use the newer grease less bearings in everything. Mercuiser OEM replacement kit includes a tamper proof torx plug to replace the grease zerk. I know aftermarket is a bunch cheaper and everyone thinks it's all the same but I see problems with many aftermarket parts and try my best to stay away from them. As a DIY you can gamble the time but when I install parts I am being paid and when parts fail It cost me more than I made on the job to replace the defective part. No! the manufacture ONLY covers their failed part at cost and no labor or ancillary parts but I have to cover them. But, as an OEM dealer the manufacture will cover the ancillary parts at cost and some of the labor.

Nahh if I were in a golf cart racing, I will choose this truck

I see the problem… it don’t got no oil in it

Please lmk I just haven’t seen any videos either out their

Yo bro I’m trying to get a shop to do my filter change they said it won’t help anything has it helped and are you still driving it ????

Mine looked like yours did I cleaned it off hopefully it will fix my issue. Any updates on yours because mine would get spark then when I cut it off it wouldn’t start for days then magically it would. I chased my tail until I seen your video. Let me know if it solved your issue because i haven’t had a chance to turn mine over. Going to buy a new battery here in a few days… let me know something! Thanks tons

I have the same sled same problem did you get it figured out

The earlier 250/400 had no screw out plug to get to the balance chain nut. Which you only had to slacken, then tighten back up. I had three of these Bikes, the first was known here in the UK as "Dream" but in the US was known as "Hawk" The later versions, had a screw out circular cover, around the size of a "Dollar Coin" and all you needed to do was back it off every 1000 miles, then re-tighten it. Job Done. The quadrant takes up any slack in the chain, pretty much like the cam chain which uses a blade that pushes against the cam chain. Only with both engines, the bike needs to be not running, and cold before these jobs can be done. If the bike is high mileage, chances are, both chains will be shot.

I saw the other video about the stator. Did you ever fix that and was it the stator? Also curious if you did where did you get a stator? I see prices all over the place making me not trust the cheaper ones as being the correct stator.

Thanks im learning all I can about this motor.

Looks great nice build. Sould do some more vids of riding it.

great video, looking at buying one of these. Seems like the adjustment spring on the tensioner must be shot on yours. My KLR650 has a very similar tensioner setup for the balance shaft and there are often issues with the setup.

Приветствую,где подключить шланг для запуска не на воде?

from where or from whith cable you have a 12V and negative cable ????

Hi

How do you get the fkin coils off?

Thanks for the video. I have a knocking noise on my rebel 450 I’m trying to trace. I have to check this balancer chain

I got 94 GSXR 750 I shoehorned in 2001 1200 Bandit motor in it. It was all done on the cheep with parts from the motorcycle scrap pile an ebay. Hillbilly bandit.

Hi does the engine have to be running for the vts to work because I’ve got the battery hacked up and key fob on, but the vts is not working, is it because of the low voltage thanks,, Regards Phil from the UK

Real throaty might do something like that with my 99 gsxr 750 srad add a big motor in it straight pipe it with big cams and everything

@Mostly Motorized Did the crankcase need opened up to accept the 1340 sleeves?

Great job... thanks bro

Really cool story and bike. I have owned my 91 dor 24 years now. Done everything to it. Had a 1216 kit put in with 38lectron carbs. I would love to find a big block kit now. They are harder to find these days. Oldschool rules. I have a 91 alao with a hahns turbo fuel injection. Bike ran 820s 15 years agao. These bikes are the shit!!!

Do you have the modified electrical diagram for this mod?

I have a 99 and a 98, i love rebuilding these GSX platforms and the 951 is a monster of an engine. Hows your ski doing?

So have a problem, the caked in electronics for the trim shorted out and keeps blowing my main fuse. I know this cause I was able to undo all work I did on the trim and everything works fine. I disconnected the wires from the caked in and kept my wires connected thinking that would do it but not getting anything. Wondering if the switches got jacked up. Regardless, keeping the wires connected to the existing caked in trim electronics is not a good idea. Would have started a fire had my fuse not blown.

Honestly there's a better way to do it. Go buy a wire box that's mentioned in a vts fix forum. Sorry forgot which one. Then buy a auto reset 10 amp fuse. Plumb it in and vts will stop when it maxes out. Sorry for very little info been awhile

I own this seadoo now! Who is this? Who made this video? Kinda crazy! I just bought it from Milwaukee on the 11th of July 2021

this helped me alot. saved alot of money and time following video.

I can only hear a click is that the relay?

I just did mine but guage doesn't work is it supposed to?

If you just go on eBay and type in VTS fix a guy from Lockheed developed a little box that just plugs in and it works great

Is this the same grave digger go kart from this video that’s 10 years old they look so similar

i wish you could of showin it actually working as a visual.

First thanks for making this video! I have the the exact same GSX. Had my VTS motor replaced this past winter by a shop that has a guy had the same gsx as well. Worked great first handful of times out and then the VTS stopped working again. Took off the housing and there was some water in there. Now have to troubleshoot the problem to see if I need another motor. Will be tackling soon. Wondering if you might be able to answer some questions once I get into it. Thx again!

I have this one as well. My oil indicator light doesn’t work so how do you guys check the oil on these? The oil container inside is not clear so it is hard to tell. Thanks

Wish I could post a picture, once its on a diagram, makes a lot more sense. its actually the same part as a 240sx power window motor, and the circuit is the same as well. switches route ground to control the relay, power should be on 85,87a on both relays, ground to 87, switches go to 86, 30 goes to each side of the motor. if you look up a power widow diagram, and then imagine its on two seperate switches instead of a double throw you can use that a reference. we should make this a plug and play kit. I'm working on a 94 xp rn, so no gagues show the trim status, so even easier.

Does the trim stop by itself when it gets to the top/bottom with this setup?

I have the same one... they get up and move pretty good

Did this problem cause you to get a 12v low warning?

I like this grave digger go kart and drive grave digger go kart to McDonald’s because I am 10

Wanna sell it ???

What kinda relays are they? Are they normally open or normally closed?

Cool grave digger

All that motor and look.at the carbs 😂😂😂
