Sick motor
« on: November 14, 2022, 08:57:54 AM »
Unfortunately my green bike was having some mechanical noises that sounded like a bad lifter.

After pulling things apart we found some MAJOR problems.

Time for a total rebuild!

113 S&S

About 40K miles on it.
I’m amazed it lasted this long. This motor has been abused over the years!
I’m not that hard on my newer bikes. LOL

Got my engine back yesterday.
Issues on getting parts due to “supply chain issues” and the fact that lots of companies will not ship to CA!

All is good now, ready to install into the frame and finish it off.
Not in a big hurry as I still have the “new” bike and too many “honey do’s “ to take care of.

Finally got the bike back together today, did a few heat cycles, took a short ride.
All is well!

I’ll put some break in miles later this week.
