Would anyone be interested in a Tear Down thread? I am asking because...




I am talking detailed... Not "here is the rotor. The rotor spins. Spin rotor, spin."

More like "there are 22 oil pan bolts, remove them with a 10mm ratchet" Before and after pictures, and removed parts pictures. Also will list parts used/needed for removal, and how easy it is to tear them down (I mean geez, I am doing this on my garage floor with come torn down boxes).

Any interest?

 

yes very much so

 

You do it, I'll archive it. :-)

 

+1.

+3, this would be very helpful

Yeah you should. I'd be very interested in the measuring process to check all the wear to see if the housings/irons/rotors are in spec.

 

I'd be more interested in a detailed "put it back together" thread like the one rotaryressurection made in the 2nd gen forum.

It think it would be good to show others who have never attempted a rotary tear down just how easy it is.

You write it and I'll read it.

 

Don't forget
" The Tension bolt threads are M10x1, you'll need the proper thread-tap to clean out the threads in the front iron "

 

For a 1st timer like me, I would love to see it! Wife would hate it cuz id have to make the kitchen my garage so i can see the computer! LOL Oh well whats one more room converted, Living room= winter storage for the motorcycle!

 

tumbs up. there is never too much info about "how to". Show us your trix to get the thing going, and then i'll worry whas next. Ive got 2 motors sitting and waiting (plus 1 in the car). Thanx 2 you

 

It sounds like a good plan as far as edumacation. I am curious about lapping and if that can be done in the home shop setting properly or the lack thereof. Then again this is a teardown not really a rebuild document concept rigth?

 

you know what i was thinking, and what would make the thread a bit diferent...if you can record and you tube quick videos over the steps of the tear down. I know that it is more work, but that would make this much more interesting and informative

+1,000,000!!!!!


yes pleas.

 

Disagree on the youtube. Videos are ****. Step by step is handy, something you can potentially print off and use instead of having a laptop getting dirty in the shop.

Definetly interested. As someone posted a detailed process on how to measure everything to see if its in spec.

 

The thread I will be making will be a simple "How to" Tear down a 12a. After that thread is created, I figured I will make one on how to spec each part, and what makes each part worth using again and what makes it not worth using. Last thread would be a how to on rebuilding it.

Youtube would be cool, I did not think of that. Only thing is I would have to keep it under 10 minutes because I do not feel like paying for an account there. If I do get hardcore into a video tear down / Spec / Rebuild, I will just put it on my website

 

Well you could break it down into a series if you need to stay under the 10 min cap. But that would be a lot of work to do videos.
