oil on the good foot

[speedlimit85]

It fits! Glad I didn't tear it up in anger. What's the torque for the valve cover?

[bikerphil]

I think it's 7 ft/lb.

[speedlimit85]

Before closing it up, would it be a good idea to verify the timing with TDC by the piston movement in # 1 cylinder?

[bikerphil]

If you want. The #1 piston should be at TDC with the cam dots lined up with the arrows and the timing plate at the T mark.

[speedlimit85]

Someone suggested that- I may check. #1 is left side facing forward right?

[bikerphil]

1 thru 4, left to right, sitting the bike.

[speedlimit85]

It runs right. Bike is fixed!

I put it all back together. This time the bolt and reluctor plate moved into right position the torque wrench clicked right. This bike runs like this never happened.

[bikerphil]

So it was all just a bad dream?

Glad it's running right and you learned a few things along the way.

Back to poppin' wheelies again. : )

[speedlimit85]

I think what happened was the centrifigal advance was out of place like you said can happen.

And I advanced the timing like ya said- a bit CCW. It might be a 1200 now...running scary good!

[bikerphil]

Yep, a little advance on the timing will sure pep it up. The idle speed may need to be turned down a tick, the advancement will bring it up.

I want to sum up for anyone installing a speedy sleeve on the crankshaft left side. I got no oil on my left foot so far...only a few hundred mi.

Put the sleeve in the oven 200deg and install backward with the flange facing away from the bike. Hit the tool into the sleeve with a hammer onto the crankshaft all the way to cover the groove. Then remove the flange with cutter and needle nose pliers twisting like a sardine can. I sanded any sharp feeling area. Then install seal.

It took "ELEVEN" pages for success sumpin's goin' on here

[Radioguylogs]

Nice job - congratulations on you success finally.

Maybe you could include the source and P/N for the sleeve in your summary - for others that come by later. I looked through the entire thread and didn't find them easily.

Also did you use red Loctite or something else to bond and seal the sleeve on the crankshaft?

[speedlimit85]

part # 99128 for the sleeve at any auto part store is 32 mm for the crankshaft should be good for both sides

I put the sleeve on with no bond advised by a mechanic. I used permatex blue for the outside of the seal and oil for the inside.

[speedlimit85]

I hate to say it. It is slowly leaking again after 3000 mi.

The only thing I can think of is the seal could have caught a sharp edge on the speedy sleeve on the way in. I sanded the edge but maybe not good enough.
