Great video! Good call leaning the bike up against something so you don't have to mess with oil. The service manual for the ER-6F says to replace the OEM gasket and to use a silicone gasket maker. Seems like overkill to me, but I'd rather not deal with oil leaking later on.
Thanks for this it’s going to help when I change my Stator this week! I’ll be doing an oil change anyway as it’s due one so I won’t have to tip the bike but I’ll Keep that In mind!
Hey, when you crashed it, did it start leaking? I crashed mine too and it's leaking, looks like a mix of oil and cooling liquid and smells like gasoline too
Hey mate, great video!!Thanks!! I just crashed my er6, and the generator cover is damaged and leaking, looks like oil mixed with cooling liquid and also gasoline. Is that something to be worried about? Now (A day later) it looks like just oil is leaking but it still smells like gasoline, makes me worried. I bought the replacement parts. And i'm waiting to get delivered in order install them.
Hey mate I would not worry to much about the gasoline smell however the coolant in the oil is a issue I would look more into, Is it getting hot before your crash ?
Kind sir, please tell me did you use gasket sealer on the cover and on the engine or you used only the oem gasket? Or have you used gasket sealer where the engine case splits, near where the two dowels are? I need to replace both gen cover and clutch cover and before i do i need to know if i need to use gasket sealer with the oem gasket or not. Thank you and best regards.
Funnyuk888 Wow! Thank you very much for the quick and kind help! I wonder on the clutch side do you think i need sealent? What torque did you use 10 nm? Thanks again!
Funnyuk888 Rob, you are the man! I will be having new gaskets. And i will be having the new covers so no need for diagrams. Thanks a bunch for the help. Will keep you posted!
Thanks for the vid, my bike fall over and the case was damaged. Is that simply motor oil which is inside? So if I refill a little bit, does it arrive in this section again?
Hey mate that sucks buddy, so if your oil has come out from the damaged case, YES it’s just normal engine oil it will fill up by itself from main engine. Follow my video your be fine it’s very easy just take your time & enjoy the beautiful weather. Thanks
Hey buddy when I took mine off it came off in one peace, I reuse the gasket & still to this day it hasn’t lost a single drop of oil, the one you see me cleaning off was off the replacement cover. But if your not successful to get your gasket off in one & making kit would be fine buddy.
@@VanlifeHQ thanks man wasnt expecting a response so quick but yeah i picked up trf black gasket maker the guy i bought the bike from did a shit job on it but because of the gears i wasnt sure if spacing would be a problem idk if that makes simce or not but ima try it now
joseph ledford no mate it will be fine there literally only for the electric start, just remember when you pull it apart it will be abit hard because of the magnets but just follow my video bud it’s easy & if you run into a problem hit me up on here I’ll answer you ASAP. Let me know how you get on,
@@VanlifeHQ it already had a leak where the wires come out but i got it off in one piece but it looks worn slap out so i just picked up some gasket paper ima cut it out and just do it right so i dont have to redo it later
Yes mate there was a gasket stuck i reused it as it come away without damage, if it had of broken I would have used abit of red sealant wiped off the excess
Make sure the generator is plugged in mate the coil part inside the cover or you could have knocked the wire on the side stand if it’s off it won’t start
@@VanlifeHQ Thanks for the reply, I also replaced the speed pedal because it was folded, the problem can come from the wire ? here the noise when i try to star it ruclips.net/user/shortsw5zyHybKpAw
Hello Juan just make sure you tighten in a cross pattern & your be fine, so basically if you tighten the top bolt first it would be bottom next & so on. Only hand tighten them all first then tighten fully.
Sure that was a option however for education purposes more would appreciate seeing how to change the cover & I had a replacement anyway, painting the cover would have taken a lot more time effort & unless powder coated probably would have flaked off after a few months,
6 years on still not a drop of oil ! Use your common sense if you sand it like a moron it would leak 🤣 if your using your common sense like Im sure 99% of people that are doing the job do your good to use sandpaper LIGHTLY to remove any old gasket! But thank you for your comment there all welcome
Just replaced the engine cover and your video is a super help. Thank you

Hey, when you crashed it, did it start leaking? I crashed mine too and it's leaking, looks like a mix of oil and cooling liquid and smells like gasoline too
@@hamzasdoudi828 no, i just cracked the engine casing so only a small drop of oil.
Kesuen cuk...
I bought a new stator to replace mine and it came with packets of silicone(?). I was wondering where I apply that
did you drop it? this just happened to me today and scraped the cover I'm so pissed about that, but relieved that I found a video on how to replace it
Funnyuk888 okay thanks!

deberias cambiar aceite y filtro y junta del carter
Did you put that on there with no gasket?
No buddy the old gasket was still on there & still not leaking many years on, do you not have a gasket?
Do i have to get thhe new oem gasket or can i use gasket maker

@@VanlifeHQ also what type of antifreeze do you run just curious
Is there any gasket between the cover and engine body?
Yes mate there was a gasket stuck i reused it as it come away without damage, if it had of broken I would have used abit of red sealant wiped off the excess
@@VanlifeHQwhere did you purchase the new cover? China 🇨🇳?
@@MrAnonimowoeBay mate used item 👍
Please where comeprome wire
Hello, i replaced the cover and now the bike doesn't start ? what can explain this ?
Make sure the generator is plugged in mate the coil part inside the cover or you could have knocked the wire on the side stand if it’s off it won’t start

@@metehanaydin3882 sounds like the starter motor mate try tapping it with a rubber hammer or stick sounds stuck

How do you remove the gears?
Shiela Simpleton they simple lift off mate there’s floating not pressed.
Funnyuk888 okay thanks! I wasn’t sure by looking at it. Jsut wanted to make sure before I got into it. Ty!
Hola soy juan y tengo una duda,sabe alguien el orden de apriete de los tornillos de la tapa del alternador de laber6n ,gracias
Hello Juan just make sure you tighten in a cross pattern & your be fine, so basically if you tighten the top bolt first it would be bottom next & so on. Only hand tighten them all first then tighten fully.
ok thank you very much for your contribution you are right the fault was solved, changing alternator.
any questions about voltage regulator or alternator could help you from your own experience thanks
That’s not a scratch can I have the old cover ?
If I still have it in the shed you can have it bud, it is a scrape looks like just paint missing but it’s only cosmetic.
@@VanlifeHQ yeah I wish
I just need the torch specs couldn't really see on the video phone screens busted sos please it's all ready to go back together I just wanna ridee
9.5 nm mate do them in cross pattern
can't you just repaint the scratch paint?
Sure that was a option however for education purposes more would appreciate seeing how to change the cover & I had a replacement anyway, painting the cover would have taken a lot more time effort & unless powder coated probably would have flaked off after a few months,
dont use sandpaper on aluminium cover!
6 years on still not a drop of oil !
Use your common sense if you sand it like a moron it would leak 🤣
