Tried to get some pics on here a few days ago.....still pending.

I have been taking things apart...ran into a rear shock that is Yamaha monocross De Carbon system with 16M-00 on the sticker behind the spring. Anyone know what it is, what it came off of? Seems like its in good shape. I'll probably need a different one anyway as I'm planning to lengthen the swingarm....


Mods....please approve my pics.

 

Tell you what ya all, keep on postin!! Though I am no longer "active" for now... I will be back!! You guys HAVE to keeep this stuff goin! The originator of the thread mr BigMc is still watching, but we all need to take a break sometime....
I am probably wrong (usually am, ask the old lady) but we have ALL found an EXTREMELY worthy project to play with, and need to stick with it............. I have never had so much fun or sucess with something I was not/or still qualified to mess with till I found this lil turd of a bike and this forum to guide me.... Almost like dealing with women for the first time... Not qualified to continue, but we dive right in and right or wrong, at least we did it................................

Please post pix!!! Low rez is the only way here, sux but better than nothin! If you haven't posted pix, do it!!!

Till I get new(old) stuff, get to it guys!!! browse the Suzuki forum... send the lost 230 folks this way, there are plenty with questions and there are almost ALL the answers in this thread!!!!

Best of luck, and PLEASE keep the biggest forum going!!

Peace! POOLGOD230

Keep em alive "BigMc"
Old Quads Rule!!!!

 

ya know poolgod you are one of my favorites on this thread and yes almost all answers are in this thread i found it through a google search for my 230. I do have a question for those more qualified than me at this stuff. I have now disassembled my 2nd motor and found that the crank shaft rod is not spinning on the bottem( ie .the part of the rod not connected to the piston). my question is is there a bearing there that I can replace or am I better off sending it to mr crankshaft.
I also have a problem with my running motor, and that is that it is smokin pretty bad. I redid all the rings with the wiseco piston and to my knowledge they where perfect. My knowledge of 4-strokes isn't that good and I am wondering if the oil could be coming through the valves or valve seals? I did nothing to the valves when I redid my piston and crankshaft in this motor. PLEASE HELP!!!
Yes I will Be posting pics a.s.a.p. and I am still glad to here from poolgod, keep watchin this b&$chin thread.

 

Ah...Just my luck....I show up and everyone takes off...LOL. I'll just keep plugging away....I'll get pics up once I figure out how to shrink the dang things. I hope I see both Poolgod and BigMC back in action soon.

 

its you valve seals unless you really screwed up teh rings

Its times like this that, I belive, brings out he best in people. Im a FIRM beliver in back scrathen. If you need it, and I have it, consider it yours my friend.
I know someone that has a lot of parts, ( including a rolling chassie). He came by them honest. I bought a spare engine complete, (stator cover, stator, even a kick start lever still attached) from him last weekend. VARY good deal.
If your interested I can put you two in touch. Just let me know man...........!
Ive been there.
About 8 years ago, I had several (thousand dollers worth of ) Linear Power products stole from me by a former neighbor. Its a helpless feeling that leaves a person empty inside.
They reserve the warmer parts of HELL just for those people.
If I can help, PLEASE let me know.

I must admit, I dont think I want to know how you came up with that name [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Your smoken problem, It could be the seals. Any time a part of the motor is worked on it can cause problems in the "unserviced" part of the motor.
Of course, if the wiseco was not given enough time to break in, you have just blown a rebuild. The first time I used a Wiseco kit, it took almost 3 months to break it in.
I think your on the right track with the valve seals though. The re-newed compression ( of the piston) can blow out the old valve seals.
I have a unique experience with this very issue. If I can help...................

3 post. I remember being a newbie... NOT....!

Good to hear from you man.
I take time off from time to time to keep it from growing as old as the subject[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you need help, let me know. Ive been known to give out my personal email address from time to time. I have NO problem with helping a 230 owner.

yo big mc its great to here from ya. I am a reeftank profesional. thats what I do I go to restaurants and such and build saltwater reef systems as well as mantenance on them. Its a hobby not my real job.
I got my valve seals in the mail and was wondering if I should just change them or if I should order new valves and do it together? the 230 has no compression loss and it isn't a hell of a lot of smoke either. as far as breaking it in' I know that I did that without damage to the rebuild. I was extra carefull and knew I had to be; this is the first four stroke i've had to break-in. I have done many 2- strokes and I have a few r/c trucks with motors that I have broken in. those little motors are the worse to take your time and not just goose and go.
all and all I am pretty confident it is the valve seals I just wasn't aware that they shuold be done with a rebuild. (rookie mistake).
I would like to thank everyone for there help
