Rudes 2005 snowhawk build

[off road rider]

you need some way to purge the air from the system.. that would usually be the high point.. If you just put one of those T deals that has a cap in the top inlet hose that should do it..
you can get one at any auto parts store

 

[RudeAwakening]

yayyyyy! parts from Steve! thet anti stab kit is super nice.

and i wraped my pipe

 

[buffaloHAWK]

?

how come you wrapped the pipe??

i had a kx85 motor in my yamaha ysr50 mini sportbike,wrapped the pipe and had all kinds of issues. the warmer it got the worse it ran. i played the jetting game til i got sick with no results. went back to stock jets and UN-wrapped the pipe....PERFECT!

 

[RudeAwakening]

i wanna get my underhood temp down! you think im gonna have problems eric?

 

[RudeAwakening]

got my stearing post back in and the handel bars mounted, also got all the wireing togather! gonna try to fire it up this weekend after i get some coolent in it.

 

[snowhawkaddict]

Learning as you go huh J?

Good job!

 

[Beeline]

Hey Jer. Looking good. You need to put at least 5 straps on the pipe. It will start to slide and group up on the pipe. If you havent yet, you need to buy a can of clear high temp paint and use it all on the heat tape. it will help seal it. It will stink and smoke for the first hour of riding .

Looks great, keep up the good work.

 

[RudeAwakening]

ok, a little update on whats happening in the shop.
jack shaft and drive shaft are in, secondary is on but i need to figure out the shimming and by the looks of it, i will need anew bolt to hold on the secondary because the stock one is to short. also got my skid in with Steves new goodies all hooked up.

also do you guys think i need new plugs? they are really brown/oiley from last seassion (machine was way to rich)

how dose my track look in terms of how tight it is? i have Steves brackets.

 

[TLKDPROD]

Hey what's the rate on that red spring on the front shock ?

I'd say try the tension that way first and adjust as needed, looks not too bad to me.

Plugs are good, do you have spark ?

 

[RudeAwakening]

red spring is about 100lbs. it is from a small dirt bike.
never had a chance to check spark, need another person.

 

[RudeAwakening]

wow! puting the brakes back on was a pain in the ***!
had a very hard time geting the roter on the drive shaft and now im not sure if it is lined up with the calpier. took some pics. tell me if you guys see anything wong.

 

[onewoodsrider]

Just sell it and start over

Wow its messed up big time, sell it to me why its still worth something big guy.

 

[J&L Snowhawk]

looks

looks good from what I can see. Why are you taking so long to get this together. Is there not snow there yet?

 

[RudeAwakening]

yup! still no snow and im waiteing on one last box of parts. almost there though.

 

[RudeAwakening]

got my frame reinforcing kit installed! it feels way more beefey in the front end now. heres some pics

 

[RudeAwakening]

well, im almost done. got my front end almost all togeather. just need to install the can and the chain (which i dont have yet) and then gast tank and plastics. shes been puting up a fight the last week. cant believe i have done all this. i really thought i was geting in over my head when i started my build, but it as the best thing i could have done for understanding my hawk. i must say thanks to everyone for thier input and help. special thanks go out to Sledr2 and TLKDPRO for all there help with custom parts. i still havent tried to start the 800, thats the next scary thing for me. hope she starts.

here is some pics of were im at.

screwed in another box or carbied tiped screws on the outside of the track

still need to shim and align the secondary.

new pipe is a tight fit with the frame reinforcment on the mag side!

pretty chain drive sprockets

going to get a cerrmaic blanket to wrap my can this morning ( hopefully free)
then i will install my pipe and get the plastics on.

 

[RudeAwakening]

just ordered my EK chain. dicided to go with the non o ring 300HP 530 drag bike chain. 11500 tensiel strength. should be good from what i have read.

 

[buffaloHAWK]

Non o ring!

tryin to squeeze every bit of horsepower out of the 8hunnert arent you?! just make you lube her often!

 

[RudeAwakening]

you know it Eric! since its under the hood and not exposed to the elements, i dident see why i needed the o ring or x ring chain. this was the strongest chain they had in the ek line up in 530. all just wax it every outher ride.
