Started great. It's really hot at the waterpump cover. Now I'm paranoid but I think its suppose to be too hot to touch. This was after 3 minutes running in neutral. Fluids topped up.

So the engine is back together and on the bike, I am waiting till later today to try to start it as I gave the Threebond gasket material 48 hours to cure. Looking for advice based on experience starting rebuilt engines (non lubricated more like it). I did use assembly lube on touching metal...

Thanks, I will keep that as an option. The fact that one of the input shaft bearings I replaced had the exact same cover on makes me think i can just leave it on.

So after a week of waiting, I received the wrong part :sneaky: Same style bearing 6004, has the groove N, and is a C4. But it is closed, and the part number is for newer versions of my bike for the same function. I am emailing the supplier to check with KTM if possible. Can oil get in through...

Can you recommend a bearing house in the GTA?

The motorcycle is at a friends property and I did not take out the bearings last time I was there taking apart the engine. Once home I decided to follow the advice I received online and replace the main & counter-shaft bearings as they were exposed to load while the counter-shaft was broken. For...

The Poland bearing is the stock bearing which was taken out. The shaft is locked into that bearing with a circlip and the other end bearing does not have any kind of locking stop. I'm now considering trying to source a proper bearing with a groove. Since the one I bought is some vxb brand and...

Made this from a larger washer, but I don't know what kind of steel it is. Do I need to worry about strength or wear, it is clear from any moving gears. Not sure how much stopping power it would have against the bearing pretty easy to bend with a punch and hammer when making.

Thanks for all the feedback. The bearing is pressed in against the case all the way so it cannot go in that direction. I am thinking of bending the washer upwards so that the bolt still tightens it flat against the case and hopefully the edge of the washer will go right against and over the...

ok so finally got back to working on the bike, and the bearing does in fact have a special groove which allows a washer to lock it down to the case. The bearing I sourced does not. I was going to skip locking it down, but now I am having second thoughts. Do I leave it without locking it to the...

BTW here is a picture of the oil pumps. It does have spring size recesses, but that's where the impeller shaft goes. Does it need to be spring loaded? and why wouldn't it be in the parts fiche?

Yes it has two pumps. I will check the relief valve I don't think i even unscrewed that bolt and it only uses a single spring. Anyone have experience with bearings? to add insult to injury KTM does not currently have a bearing for the sprocket side output shaft bearing. Not just not in stock...

Fair enough, I agree it can be misleading. It's the only pictures I have on me. The diameter of those springs is about 3/16". very small. I had just finished taking out the oil pump impellers and either spaced and didn't look inside or they were in the rags i was using from before. They just...

Anyone ever come across small springs like this during engine disassembly? I cannot find any springs like this in the parts catalog, but they did seem to fall out after I removed the oil pumps.

Broken countershaft. Wonder if a tight chain and a passenger could have caused this.

Before I go out and buy some tools I wanted to see if anyone in the GTA would be willing to lend out any of the following: Crankcase splitter Flywheel/Primary Gear Puller M33 x 1.5 RHT Flywheel/Primary Gear Puller M36 x 1.5 RHT Thanks...

Had a chance to look at it today. Unfortunately nothing seems out of place. After putting it back together I started it and tried the gears again, and the gears that don't work you can definitively hear some very mild clunking inside. Sounds like something which is fixed but not exactly in...

Do you think this is the part?

Thank you Brian. I will look into that. As mentioned it was a fairly tame ride, and there was no 'event', it just would not work in those gears anymore. No grinding noises.

2009 KTM 690. I haven't had time to research yet and do not have experience with the transmissions other than a feq quick videos demonstrating how the drum moves the forks around. It is interesting that 2nd, 4th and 6th work perfectly. and 1st, 3rd, and 5th are not.
