73 TC125 Suzuki Engine teardown and case split

- Engine teardown, and case split reveal what we already knew. The crankshaft will have to be rebuilt, and new main bearings installed. Looks like the transmission has been spared any damage from the water. All will be cleaned and inspected. The case split was done using a case splitter that we fabercated on the last TC125 project.
Great video.. glad the crankshaft came easily 👍
Me too, but it is not useable, the mag side seal surface is pitted, will never seal. working on getting another crank. Thanks for the comment and for watchin.
Nice video Dale, I enjoyed it
Thanks Larry, more to come, stay tuned.
Great video. I've had a hard time in the past with Japanese case screws, it improved when I discovered that you could get JIS screwdriver bits. The impact driver is definitely your friend. Looking forward to the crank rebuild. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire, UK.
Thanks Dean. For sure got to have jis or you will destroy them. The cranks looking pretty bad. It's in the metal rescue right now. We will see how it looks tomorrow. Started watching some of your videos last night. Your doing a good job. Just keep putting them out.
@@montana2strokeracer Thanks Dale. I just need to learn how to use my video camera and editing. Best wishes, Dean.
Great video, thanks for posting it. BTW, you've got a beautiful shop!!!!
Thanks Robert, appreciate the comment and for hanging out in the shop with me.
Hi Dale. Really like the video on this little engine teardown. I saw you have a green handle screw driver with a knurl on the shaft that is just below the handle. That's a nice touch when trying to turn it using the shaft instead of the handle. What brand is it? Also, I can't quite figure out why the manufacturer would use Phillip head screws to hold the case halves together rather than an allen head or hex head bolt. It seems the factory would have a hard time tightening to an accurate torque with a phillip head screw wouldn't they?
Hi Todd, just saw this comment come up today, but it says it over 6 months old. I thought I had replied to one like it months ago. Anyway. I am sorry for a late reply. The green handled screwdriver is made by Vessel and it is a JIS driver, the stands for Japanese Industrial standard I got mine from Amazon. Yes they are more difficult to torque, but they dont require a lot of torque. I dont torque them at all, just use a hammer driver to remove or install. I believe most manufactures have now gone a way from using the phillips head design in favor of the ones you mentioned. But that was common back in the 60's and 70's. Again sorry for the delay and I sure appreciate you following the channel.
Did you make the clutch pin removal tool? Best way I've seen.
Yeah Jim, it's just an old screwdriver ground down on the end then heated to cherry red and bent to shape. Does work good.
That one was ruff thanks for sharing. Did you every talk with Kevin?
Yeah talked with him the other day, he says he will be back at it pretty soon.
Hi Dale,
i'm watching this video as I have a few old 72-75 Suzuki RV125's that I plan on restoring.
I haven't done this sort of thing before, but decided to take the project on as a retirement gift to myself to keep the brain active.
I do have a couple of questions to ask (if I may).
1. The Mels Diner sign on your bench (From the movie American Graffiti), do you know if they're still available or is it an old sign in remarkable condition.
2. The Bench engine mount (Blue thing) are they available?
3. Now this is specifically a Suzuki Question, the early 70's 125's were 6 volt, is it possible to change the generator / stator (whatever it's called) with a later 80's / 90's one that is 12 volt? I do realise that the switched, globes etc will need to be replaced for the higher voltage / current.
Thanks for your timee
Cheers

Hi Paul, congratulations on your upcoming retirement, I am sure enjoying mine, and your right we need to keep the brain active and no better way than to mess with old bikes.
The Mels diner sign, I found at a local antique store probably 10 years ago. Not sure if they still make them but I bet you could find one on Ebay or amazon.
The bench holding tool is still available although not cheap, think I found mine used on Ebay 15 years ago or so. It is made by OTC tools; the number is 7020. Very handy...have used it to hold automatic transmissions, rear differential carriers, lawnmower engines, and now motorcycle engines too. Think it will hold up to 350 lbs., limited only to the bench you have it on.
As far as the change from 6 volt to 12 volt, I have not done it on a motorcycle yet, have read about some kits available to do it. I have done it on cars, with them most of the electrics are capable of handling the extra voltage, because the 6-volt systems are higher amperage to start with. On those you change the alternator, regulator, and bulbs. The starter can usually handle the increase in voltage. I really don't see why you couldn't use a newer stator and rotor or flywheel and the associated parts, the only thing would be if the stator will fit on the older engine. I have some videos where I adapted a CDI ignition to an old AT2 mx Yamaha. In this case I had to make a new stator mounting plate, because of the diameter difference. Not easy but doable.
Hope I have answered your questions here, and it is nice having you hanging out in the shop with me.
Hope you have a nice spring and summer down under, going in to fall /winter here.
Great video, would assume more to come, bye the way do you use any manuals or have you just done enough to know what goes where?
Hi Frank, yes I have some manuals, but generally I just pay attention to disassembly, granted things are not always assembled correctly, hence the manuals.
@@montana2strokeracer so i thought, my 77 year old memory group isn't that good. i usually get a tablet and draw pictures and make notes to myself. guess i should get into the 21st century and take pictures.
Hi . Good time ، Does the oil pump this type of motorcycle repair capability ? Thanks
Thank you, yes the pump is a Mikuni, there are some aftermarket suppliers offering rebuild kits for them. However it is rare that they fail.
What stand is that I want one
It's a OTC 7020, it was actually designed by ford for holding 9 inch carrier's when your setting up a ring and pinion. I use it for lawnmower engines and motorcycle engines. New ones are a bit pricey. Try to find a used one.
@@montana2strokeracer awesome thank you
