couple of tri z questions

[beadle]

1 if the frame vin has a 38w and an f and the motor is a 1rx does that make it an 85 1/2? i have a red frame and black plastics with silver wheels

2 supposedily there is a 300 kit in it, is there anything i should look for to tell me that, it does have a dg pipe on it.

3 does anybody make a full gasket kit for it seems like everything is leaking oil



thanks for your help eric

You can still get a complete gasket for it. As for the vin here is a decoder link http://decodemyvin.webs.com/

1rx means it has a 1986 six speed in it.

just took motor out 1rx base the intake,cylinder, and head have 38w on them. when i drained the oil it looked like choclate milk so it sounds like im gonna do a complete tear down to see what i got. according to the piston number it has a 70mm piston. if there is anything ishould check or replace during the tear down please dont be afraid to chime in my cheif mechanic (ride-red-250r) only nows hondas so any info would be great thanks

Poppycock!!! We had a YT125 I used to play around on growing up!! LOL!

On a related note... I'm thinking milky oil caused by waterpump seal????

[MTS]

Possibly the pump seal, check to see if the clutch cover bolt hidden behind the kicker mech is in...its often over looked..and will cause the cover gasket to leak,,and take water in if washed or rode in a puddle,,(don't ask me how i know..) pull the trans shafts apart and inspect carefully, there is one gear that is not held on with a clip and floats..take note of which way the bevel is facing on it..it can be installed backwards and cause a mess, the pump seal is tricky to install and requires a bit of finess and grease...with the pump shaft in, the crank slides out alot easier from the PTO side bearing when splitting FYI....Mag side is much tighter..check your shift shaft bore for a tight fit, if its a 6 speed take a very good look at the 3rd gear (iirc) fork...there the ones that normally wear and gaull..and cause problems...everything else is pretty straight forward..might have forgotten a few things. :beer

a 70mm piston(+2mm) would make your tri z a 261cc

[Bryan Raffa]

85 1/2 were 5 speed's and appears to have a 6 speed in it . with a older top end, pretty sure the 86 heads said 38w on them. And the cylinders also say 38w on them also .... never seen a head or a cylinder that said 1RX..

^^not anymore....MTS has pointed you in a good direction...85.5 with a 6speed tossed in....not a normal swap but a good score none the less.

:p good luck with your build

[MTS]

That finger tight is about normal..haha...get a bottle of red loctite and right stuff for chassie assembly...SS bolts dont like loctite in steel frames....have that crank checked for true too..dead nuts zero is prefferd...they vibrate alot..axle nuts hate it!
