Ohhhh Fred
You should never touch anything if its working good!
How was oil consumption?Why the need of taking cilinder out?
50.000 is still very acceptable for german cold weather.An airhead is on the limit by 75.000 in hot climates.
Now its open just look for wear on cilinder if there is nothing suspicious change piston,rings,rod and hone the cilinder into same size.
Your connecting rod looks...... :shades:
Buy a cheap 55W and do this a full DAKAR bike with that new engine you are building+43 liters tank you got now!

Oh well... there was a little starting issue from time to time.... I saw your bike in the little film starting and running so proper.
I wanted the same. :-)
The engine nipped about 500 ml oil on 3000 Kilometers. Approximatly.

And about that tank:

Remember you will need to cut the seat to place this tank.
Do something like this....

I´m still preparing my Tenere.
I did put a 3AJ cylinder and a 2KF head on the old 34L engine.
This is how far I am at the moment .... and I have a problem:

Image

First I thought: " Ouuuh, I forgot to spray the parts in black... but now I like it. Looks a little diffrent. But Ok.
(The original silver is still in good shape, so why distroy it?)

The head had no autodeko. (Must be from an elektric start model)
But you can popp out a plasticthingy put in the autodeko from the 34 L.

Image

On the valvecover there is no ventlilation.
There is a tube from the airbox coming and sucking on the valvecover to avoid to much pressure in the engine.
And again: Popp out a metalplug and hammer in the little tube from the 34L (great hint from the guys here: http://www.xt-board.de/)
I would have never thougt of that until I had that tube in my hand...

Image

Did you ever notice that the camshaftchain does not run totally on the sprockets?
I compared that to the old TT stuff I have.

Image

Strange...

And here is my problem:

Image

If the markings on the camsprockets are right, then the markings on the crank don´t match (just half a tooth)
If I then put the chain one tooth diffrent... the markings on the crank wanders to the otherside...
but still half a tooth out of correspond.
:scratch:
Which setting shall I take?
Olli

PS: Do you really take the valvecover off after 1000 Km to check if the bolts have the right torque?

Yo olli, I am looking through the workshop service and Clymer manuals on the cam alignment. So I have to ask first, is that the crank original or the one you had returned from Kedo?
Was the alignment OK before strip down, did you notice?

Best policy, Yes

So the 3AJ barrel went on without any modification Oli? i thought i read something needed to be done to make it fit?
And is it true there are more or larger cooling fins on the 3AJ to the 34L?

In 1989 Yamaha altered the spacing of the cylinder head bolts.
You can fit the later cylinder but you obviously must also fit he later head to match. :sherlock:

Slightly more cooling fins?.....YES! :lol:

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!
