Soup forgot his password Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Fiddy that thing is fucking hilarious. I love how OCC gets exponentially more retarded as the years go by. I've come to the conclusion that what I like most about motorcycles is that they're the closest I'll come to flying an airplane, or being an aeronautical engineer... so what I look for in a motorcycle is that sleek, no frills, tested and simplified engineering that accelerates, dives into corners and sounds like nothing else out there. Sleek, perfected engineering—And lasts for-fucking-ever. My favorite bikes right now are 24- Hors Le Mans bikes, which if you're at all acquainted with the styling and engineering of modern-sport bikes, there's some really amazing querky one-off-ness going on, but also a lot of leading-edge tech that makes them faster, lighter, more comfortable, and more reliable than the street bikes they started life as. I look at cafes, like really old cafes with the external pipes running oil to the head cylinder, clutch and running gears outside of the motor block and I think, that looks awesome but I wouldn't be caught dead riding one through some mountain pass in bumfuck nowhere. ESPECIALLY now that my sideyard is a graveyard of good looking and well-meaning motorbikes that didn't make the cut. MOST bikes dont seem to take too kindly to 1000 miles a month. I need to get me a pickup for the bikes. Theres a yellow one just like this on CL for 9800... Shit that looks cool but something that would likely drive me to kill people if something went wrong: Yes, that photo says it went 130+ mph.

Soup forgot his password Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Both of my motorcycles don't run and instead of working on them I've been riding the bicycles. That's basically why this thread sank. I will contribute this story of my new neighbor. He lives in the building next to mine and between the two buildings he's got a tent that he keeps an old FXD with straight pipes and a R100. He rides the harley every morning and starts it up in the alley so it sounds like a sturgis assless chap convention in my fucking floorboards. One day he was having trouble starting it and started it with a wide open throttle. I was sleeping probably 15 feet from where his bike was. I wanted to fucking kill him and if it happens again I think I can plea insanity from the sleep deprivation. So moral of the story is, if you have your bike with straight pipes parked in a community garage or in an alleyway, back it out to the street before starting it or someone's going to take a power drill to your oil sump and laugh at you when you throw a rod.

acer910 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 got a question, 83 hd fxr dumps the oil on ignition, figure first thing to check would be the valve screen on the oil pump for blockage, is no screen. but theres metal debris mixed in what oil remains. does this mean im going to have to take the pump off and see if one of the gears is chewed up? i reallllllyyyy dont want to embark on this journey of pain in the assery to find out it ISNT a chewed up gear. opinions? also, the engine isnt stock.

seeking Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 i don't know shit about this, id say check HDforums.net or something similar. those old dudes know everything. however id also say anytime you've got a bunch of metal in your oil you've got something bad going on.

acer910 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Where exactly is the leak coming from? i dont know, i wasnt there when the oil was dumped. il ask though. and seeking: yeah, thats what i was afraid of. thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup forgot his password Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The metal debris is probably clogging the checkball from seating properly. The bigger issue is identifying where the metal is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 the oil came out the breather line. think what my next course of action is to drain it completely and see just how much debris is in there, cus is IS an old bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup forgot his password Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Exactly. "excess" oil is pumped out through tge breather line. The metal debris is likely jamming up your oil pump's check ball and keeping it from seating. Id start by checking your oil pump. But like i said if youve got metal debris in your oil your problem isnt the oil, since any bike thats been sitting or any bike overfilled with oil might do this. your problem is whatever is grinding away inside the bike. Are there any non-oem/aftermarket parts? Id check those first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 but would the check ball not being able to seat cause ALL of the oil to be dumped out the breather? theres literally no oil in the oil tank. the entire engine is aftermarket, and im pretty sure not all of the engine components were purchased at the same time. certainly a frankenstein bike.

Soup forgot his password Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yeah. There's the possibility that the metal in the oil and the check ball are two totally separate issues. I'm just making a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickfiend Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 FXRs puke A LOT of oil out of the breather I had a 89 and a 92 its normal if the bike has been sitting for a while. While its empty check the drain plug and see how much metal is stuck to the magnet on the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
