If the entire lcd display will not work at all then replace it and that’s most cost effectively done by looking online for parts, local bike shops and salvage yards are great too. Check to see which other models have a lcd display that interchanges with your bike which is best answered by asking someone in the parts department at a dealer that sells the brand of motorcycle you are working on.
If it comes on but reads incorrectly this could be a faulty sensor, a sending unit, or electrical issue. A speed sensor Is a common issue when the speedometer is off. Others have a speedometer cable that connects the speedometer and transmission is a common cause of this.
Use the sources online and locally to find parts, also ask around and see who has used parts nearby, ask the service dept. of your dealer or any competent/professional technician and you’ll have this figured out quickly. Research the issue and study before making decisions or spending money!
Replacing the rockers is a reasonable ambition but rockers do not fail for no particular reason - something must have caused the trouble and it is best to discover what before you begin spending money.
Possible causes - lack of lubrication, broken valve spring, valve clearance adjuster unlocked...
Hey Bud,
If you want to test if your chain is too loose or too tight there are some simple methods of doing. Grab the chain just before the sprocket and give it a pull, there should be a bit of give but nothing crazy. You can also place two fingers underneath the chain near the guide. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath without any problem (Palm should be vertical) For details check out this guide about caring for your chain Motorcycle Chain Lube the Ultimate Guide to Taking Care of Your Chain...
indicates that the voltage regulator is not working and the idle drop is from not enough power getting to the electronics because of the head light drain
If the meter is doing its job and counting km's, it means the speedo cable is ok. The problem is most likely inside the speedo...a broken gear or spring perhaps. Try opening the speedo to have a look, if you're good with tools and technically minded.
the size of the ring will be determined by the bore size
so if it is a 3"(75mm) bore the ring will be that size if placed in the bore separate to the piston and pushed square and to the bottom of the bore the ring gap will denote if standard , worn or oversize to standard
new rings in new bores will have a ring gap of around .010"
worn rings will have a larger gap up to .040" and will have sharp edges where the ring lands wear the rings
over size rings in standard bore probably won't even fit in the bore to start with
ring sets are bought in standard size , .010" over size,.020" oversize,.030" oversize,.040" oversize with the oversize equalling the final hone of a machine bore
so if the machine shop bores the cylinder out to .020" oversize then you need .020" oversize rings to maintain the correct ring gap
from experience I have found that if I follow that rule , on measuring the ring gap at the bottom of the bore the ring gap is about .015" or half worn out
I counter this by getting the next size ring .030" and filing the ends of the rings at the gap to obtain the .010" gap This has produced better longer lasting repairs
What are you talking about... valve clearance? Start here.. .0025" - .003" on the intake and .0035" on the exhaustMeasured with the engine COLD and at TDC (compression stroke)
