      I am doing this right now I’m my garage.when I saw how you split the crank with 7/16-20 allthread, & a 18mm wrench,…you inspired me to just do it. Hooked and following

      It came apart just like you did, and the bearing was easy to get off too. Replaced inner seals and o-rings, and going back together...your awesome!

      @@kentuckyyankee the crank pressed back together exactly perfect 🥰.
      Before it was three thousandths off, but was able to tune it to a measurable zero. Under a thousandths to me. Once again thank you, you're a great inspiration to me. I was able to do this for about $300

    Nice job guys for the first try . I used to rebuild T500 cranks eight hours a day back in the 70"s. To measure crank runout correctly use V block's under the outer bearings and measure runout at the crank ends. You can only true cranks by moving the outer cheeks, they pivot on the rod end journal. You are correct at .0025" for the runout limit.

    Thanks for these videos, there isn't much information on these bikes. It's nice to have visuals of the internals and procedures. I have a 72 as well and the guy who gave it to me unfortunately passed away. He knew everything there was to know about them.

    Good video! The seals between both rods are labyrinth-seals (= no wear)? Do you know if the Suzuki-triples are also equipped with labyrinth-seals between the rods? Thanks!

    Got a question about your statement that grease can be fibrous, assembly lube is not. I cant find that info anywhere online. Can you validate?

    • @kentuckyyankee
      @kentuckyyankee  4 года назад

      No sir, I was told that by an old Automotive teacher years ago and took it as fact, don't mean to mislead anyone just never really thought about it. Always good to do your own research, I actually appreciate you calling me out I just never thought about it.

    • @danielsimpson8929
      @danielsimpson8929 4 года назад

      Well the old timer wasn't wrong but might have been using terminology that predated the internet.
      Regular grease isn't as fine as assembly grease just like assembly grease isn't as fine as bearing grease or pressing grease.
      Just like machine oil differs from fully syn engine oil differs from regular engine oil.
      Personally I have no idea what would happen if you used some sort of ultra high temp tractor axle grease in place of bearing grease on a crank journal for a modern turbo car. But it makes sense that the additives writhing the grease or formula of grease itself if more coarse/fibrous.
      More of a thesaurus answer but should point you in the right direction for what to Google.
      Not so much (is assembly lube/grease less fibrous?)
      As much as (how assembly lube is made)
