Asked by Wiki User

You need to start by adjusting the middle chain . At the front of the center chain is an eccentric , loosen the two bolts and rotate it to tighten . should be as tight as you can get it . After you do the center then you do the front .There is an eccentric for the front chain also . It should be as tight as you can also .

How do you extract a broken motorcycle spark plug?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You are dealing with a hard metal (steel) that is broken off in a soft metal (aluminum).

You need to be a little more specific about where it's broken at,

How it got broken,

and what you have tried so far,

I will assume it is broken at the base of the exposed part of the plug.

It should be hollow, Try an easy-out extractor.

You want all the lose material to be removed from the cylinder before you turn the motor.

CLEAN,CLEAN,CLEAN, that's the plan.

If the threads are messed up, You can go to a bolt store, A REAL bolt store not Lary's hardware, and buy a Healy-coil to fix it, Get someone with experience for this part.

Good luck.

What does it mean to bore over an engine Does boring over provide for any extra performance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Boring out the cylinders enables you to put larger diameter pistons in the block. Having a larger diameter cylinder means that the displacement of the engine increases. This increase can provide greater horsepower. Boring out a worn-out engine a few thousandths of an inch can square up the bore of the cylinder and breath new life into a worn out engine by restoring its compression. Good compression will have greater effect on improving the performance than the slight gain in displacement.

How does a dirt bike engine work?

Asked by Wiki User

When you start kicking the kickstart the engine is turning over going through its strokes whether a 4 stroke or a 2 stroke, A 4 stroke has 4 Strokes (hence the name) they are, 1.Intake, 2. Compression, 3. Combustion, 4.Exhaust. 2 Strokes work in a similar way just less strokes. When you kick the kick starter it makes a spark out of the spark plug, the piston move up in down also. When the piston moves up and down it lets fuel by. And when the fuel goes by the spark and the fuel does not get along and it creates fire. Now when you put the bike in first gear you are pulling in the clutch witch separates the engine from the transmission letting you sit still, as you let out the clutch the engine and transmmission slowly make a connection making the bike move forward, the process is basicly the same when riding but you dont have to let out the clutch slowly. Hope this info helps.
