yes, all from 85 to like mid 88 I believe

 

i didnt know there was an issue with that on these engines.

 

Suzuki made those changes in 88. According to the manual, the oil jet went from 1.4mm to 2.5mm and the oil pump rotor width from 7mm to 10mm.

 

have you heard of any cooling issues randy? is that something i need to watch out for?

i got the engine out today and pressure washed the frame and i did the engine too. next week, i intend to prep and paint the front of the bike. suspension and frame. pics are up.

i also checked the cam in my bayou. we took the exhaust valve cover off and compared it with another of our bayous thats running good. my valve had an 1/8" less travel and it was just the exhaust valve. im sure the intake will be significantly more. were going to get a parts bike and pull the cam and rockers and swap them. looking forward to having an actual rpm range and actual hp. lol

 

Better check the oil pump too. And make sure the right bolts are in the oil lines. Mine had a regular bolt with no hole in it, that's why the oil wasnt getting to the cam.

I dont know of any issues with heat and the 230. Maybe if you had a big bore kit.

 

weve had the oil lines off, theyre all ok. ill check the pump though.

 

did you look close at the bolt?

 

hey randy
do you got any ideas on why my clutch would make a barking sound? i still cant seem to figure it out. it got up to almost 50 degrees the last time i went riding but no noise. it only seems to happen when its really cold out.

 

yes. they had the hole. one of them was over tightened and the hole was stretched so we replaced that one. we made sure the lines were clear too.

 

Plates frozen together? You have water in your engine? I have no idea really. Barking to me seems like 2 rough surfaces stuck together under high pressure, but forced to slide against each other.
