Lunched

Ah, i see. But that requires more moving parts right? I can see the advantage of cooling the oil though as its gonna be further from the heat source.

Mark, where is the oil resovior on the CCM?

in the DRZ it's in the frame, the CCM is basically the same bike so probably the same place, dipstick is next to the headstock

In racing cars with Dry Sumps you have to be very careful when leaving gravel traps as a stone caught in the oil pump belt would leave you with no oil circulation, and, quite quickly, no engine

Wet sumps in cars (and bikes I'd guess) are more idiot proof, it's only when you get to the level of M5's and the like that can hold sustained acceleration or cornering G that you need to be aware of oil starvation in a car.

The DRZ engine is a double eccentric cam crank driven type , one being the circulation pump the other a scavenger one.

which listing on facebook. sv650 group?. found them...

What a bummer! Good luck with getting the bike back working

Has any be able to establish what the yellow lumps are? If it is gold, then sweet dude

Well had to stop as I was awaiting the rotor puller (ordered yesterday morning),Not one to waste time yesterday afternoon I recovered the seat


well guess what turned up 3 o'clock this afternoon...........yeah


got the rotor off without any problem




splitting the cases was somewhat more of a task


slowly it comes apart.





done it


the crank out


smallend stuck solid, piston locked to counter weights


down to the shed for some extra force from the vice.
got part way with this setup,




then need special tool one


moddified to special tool two


bingo


more play in the bigend than a teenager with a new PS3.

Cheers Mark.
