Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 09, 2013, 06:26:04 AM have not had time to look yet.
a mate said to dipp the oil, and if it smells of petrol its a hole in piston or rings. i am busy putting my back box on trike to sell on to get cash for fixing bike.

found loads of foamy liquid in there, does not look like it should be there ::) any ideas what it could be ??? it is also in a breather pipe going to the head. went to a bike shop and they said that the gunk is very common. so dont know what to look at next? Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 12, 2013, 10:24:20 AM i have not got a compression tester but put my finger over spark plug hole on back cylinder and it pushed my finger of
then the front one the same and it did not push my finger of. i will presume my gasket has gone ??? Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: Manky Monkey on June 12, 2013, 08:01:10 PM Fault diagnosis ain't really my strong point, but that would've been my guess too.
Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: hunter on June 12, 2013, 08:16:27 PM Well it sounds like you have no compression,
This could be one of four things, Hole in piston. Piston rings broken or worn. Bent or burnt valve. Blown head gasket. Or it could just be tight tappet clearances. Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 14, 2013, 09:04:00 AM waiting for manual to turn up so i can get head of and be able to put it back together.
hoping it will just be gasket. manual is hear now, time to start striping down head now i know where to look for TDC marks. marking position of timing chain - is it only a special pen you can use or any pen that will work? Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 15, 2013, 03:49:01 PM head is of, and it looks like head gasket has gone.
got light brown sludgy mess around head, will take barrel of as well to inspect barrel propaly and put some picks up ;D Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 15, 2013, 07:31:40 PM head gasket has gone, piston is cracked and got a chunk missing, barrel i think needs re boring or re sleeving :'(

Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: hunter on June 15, 2013, 08:10:39 PM May be cheaper to buy a complete engine.
Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 15, 2013, 08:23:37 PM haha bit of filler jobs a good en lol, not sure about the badly scored barrel.
Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: spanners on June 15, 2013, 08:34:29 PM years ago i stripped a moggie 1000, engine that had a real bad miss-fire and low compression on one pot ,, to discover it had a ,wooden,,piston with a bit of steel on top , :o :o :o
it had been recently purchased from a well known (locally) dodgy garage ,, Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 16, 2013, 07:21:04 AM has any one got any links where i mite be able to pick up piston, barrel gasket and head gasket ;D
Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: Olds on June 16, 2013, 02:56:42 PM You could try -
http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/ Title: Re: xl125 varadero gone pop Post by: kinkytriker on June 16, 2013, 03:44:23 PM went to a motorcycle dealer, he said that i nead a new barrel, piston and rings, head gasket set.
and then he said i would nead to do both cylinders and i would have to renew all the bottom end as well, so i would be beter of bying a new engine, niether of which is an option i can undertake at the moment. got a potential buyer for bike as is stands so i will go down that root. |
