Just sent out for my Kawi pulley and a cam chain tensioner for my 99 . Did the tensioner swap yesterday on the 86 . Also added quick release pins and a lollipop to my single baffle exhaust . Seems to idle better getting ready to go test ride it now . But I noticed in putting together my 99 that even though I made a parts list I still forgot stuff . Where is the best place to get parts? Just eBay ? . I need a exhaust gasket X2, exhaust bolts( snapped one) , clutch cover gasket X2 , plus the clutch cover bolt oil washers I lost two , tank mounts rubbers X2 (the silly things that the tank slides on too ). I'm really looking to get quality parts not cheap ones I've had a few disappointments with eBay .( 2 crappy clutch cover gaskets an exhaust gasket . And a front brake light switch that said it was for my 86 but clearly is not ) ok anyways guys please let me know
Thanks DeadKings

I buy factory parts from Bike Bandit.....I wait until they send me a 10% discount offer to get stuff!

There are several other online stores that are as good.....or you can buy from your local dealer.

Most of the time it takes about the same length of time - as your local dealer won't have most of the parts in stock and will have to order them. They most likely will have oil filters, mirrors, maybe a cable....most other parts will have to be ordered.

Well today officially sucks . Not sure why but there is now a whole wear my oil filter door used to be . Started the bike heard a pop and then oil everywhere . . That after a long day of physical and mental crap already. I'm gonna take the night to chill but then I'm gonna get it to the shop tomorrow and try to figure it out .Anyone ever heard of this ? I recently did an oil change and used an eBay filter when I did the cam chain tensioner . The bike rode fine on my way home from the shop but then popped and blew a whole in the oil filter cover when I tried to start it to go to work tonight. I'm kinda freaking out hoping I didn't frag my motor . Any ideas ?

Is it serious ?

One side of the oil filter has an open end...the other one is closed. When you put it in backwards.....there is no oil flow to the engine. Whatever miles you rode since the oil change was done without any oil going to the engine. If it didn't suffer some serious wear to the head, cam and rockers.....I will be amazed. The roller bearings do get a bit of oil from the splash the clutch and crank kicks up.....and maybe they are OK. I don't know how the piston/cylinder holds up.....there was no oil flow out the rod and a lot of that oil goes to lubricate those parts.

Should I just throw a new oil filter and cover on it and see what happens? Or do I need to do anything special ? It seemed to run fine on the way home but yeah I did ride it approx 8 miles

Reply #68 - 03/23/17 at 20:40:24 Drain the oil, what's left, and look at it. Then , yeah, steal the filter and cover off the other bike and see how it goes. Might consider flushing the crankcase. A quart of diesel, slosh, drain..

Reply #69 - 03/23/17 at 20:46:22 Ok I actually have an extra oil door from the clutch cover I cracked from over tightening it .(Yeah learned that lesson the hard way) . I'm gonna trailer it to the shop in the morning and drain the oil and see what it looks like .

Reply #70 - 03/23/17 at 20:51:22 Yeah I just looked it is for sure the oil filter in backward . I can't believe I did that . That's what I get for being a jack of all trades and yet a master of none right . Hopefully I didn't do anything I can't fix

Yep I cracked the clutch cover replacing the gasket that leaked when I first bought it . Tightened the ,8 mm bolt near the top where the oil groove is on the inside of the cover. It gave it a hair line crack that seaped oil when it was running . Live, learn, then mess up agian and learn more . Well I feel a lil better . Now I'm just impatient to see what the bike does tomorrow
