For Sale / Re: Yamaha it yz tt rear wheel

Hey Gary do you think it will fit into the DT1? The original wheel is very heavy. Is the brake on the opposite side to the sprocket?

Ok I've measured the drum and it looks like it would take 130mm x 22mm shoes.
IT175, 250 1980/82
YZ125 76/83
YZ250 74/81
From what I can see.
I'm adapting the wheel to suit a Husky cr250 front end.

Husqvarna / Re: 1982 Husky 430 minimum piston ring gap?

« on: January 17, 2018, 08:14:26 pm »

You are correct. 4 to 5 thou inch per inch of bore is fine. Use a piston to make sure ring sits square to the bike when measuring the gap. Measure 0.5 inch down from top of bore in running area of the ring. If bore is new then can measure where Husky manuals shows. If gap is too tight the bike can nip up due to ring seizure. Has happened to my Husky 500 and was easily fixed.

Thanks for the input!

Husqvarna / 1982 Husky 430 minimum piston ring gap?

« on: January 15, 2018, 10:54:02 pm »

As far as Husky manuals go it only states maximum wear limit 0.8mm but doesn't show a minimum to fine the new ring to!
 
Just wondering what the minimum ring clearance should be and measured at what point in the bore (the manual states to measure at the base)?

From my understanding the diameter of the bore in this case is (86.95mm) 3.42 x 0.004 thou = 0.013692 (0.014) so approx 0.35mm sounds about right.
Anyone concur that this is a fair end gap for a new ring?

Thank you

Just wondering if the later model 78, 79, 80 etc monoshock engines will fit into the earlier twin shock DT frames? Thanks
