Best to replace, but... I would cut out damaged area and put in a hose barb fitting. I'm pretty sure the spring inside is just to prevent collapsing of the hose. Just trim it back, the hose barb won't collapse.
Don't do it tonight though, I'm sure someone else will come up with something better...
So, I'm thinking of installing a big bore kit before i install motor into sled. I have been in contact with RK tek. They want me to send my cylinders and exhaust valves to them to do the machine work. Is there anyone that will do an exchange instead of waiting for parts to ship back from The...
short block is the proper thing to do. No arguements here. Definitly not worth rebuilding. I don't want to spend 2200 when i have a good motor sitting around. I'm still gonna try, i'm only wasting time, not money. Thanks for all the input. I will probably ask for more help as i go and appreciate...
I went from 121 to 144 on my 89 exciter 570 liquid cooled. Didn't have to change the gearing because i had to put in smaller drivers and that changed the ratio enough to keep the power up. I put 136 extensions on and then moved the skid back to take up the rest of the slack. I ran it all last...
Thanks Maxwell. can i get spacer at Martin or should i go to specialty? Any other tips before i install the motor? I have all summer to do repairs and want to make sure i cover all the bases before i reassemble.
Thanks, How much should the secondary float? The ZX has lots of axial play and i never blew belts on it. I didn't think to check the REV before i ripped it apart.
Thanks Magnet!!
It might work is good enough for me. I'm gonna go for it. I will pull the electrical out of the blown motor and install it in the good one so the plugs are the same. Thanks for the input, I will post success or fail.
When i was pulling the motor out of the rev it seemed like...
I have the proper rev Y pipe, i don't think that will be a problem. I am mostly worried about the electronics and whether the reverse will work with an older motor. Do they change anything mechanically in motor to allow reverse operation or does the computer just advance the timing? I'm also...
I got a good deal on a 05 rev 800 but the motor is nfg. Does anyone know if the motor out of my 02 ZX 800 will go in? would the reverse work? I don't want to spend the money on a short block when i have a good motor sitting there in a beat up sled. Any tips would be a great help.
The bushing on the sliding half of my clutch slipped out and the book says it isn't replaceable. Is there a way to just get a bushing and press it in? Does anyone have a clutch for sale? For a 02 Summit 800. Wanna get a couple more rides in this season.

went to Lucille on sunday. great ride. unloaded in staging area with a few inches. waist deep snow with no base around cabin. don't know the area so we didn't get in far. freshies all day in meadows and trees. stayed away from the climbs and didn't hit any rocks. didn't take many pics, too busy...
12"-18". went as far back as the first big climb. Might me called the super bowl? didn't have any problems with rocks, thought it would be worse. you can see the telltale lumps in the snow. 1 more foot and you won't be able to see them. then the damage starts. good enough start to the season...
