    The reason why odometer stopped

    I think it was lubricated when it left the factory in 82, but the time and temperature has evaporated it. It just shows that its not enough to lube in the speedowire connection, you must actually open the speedo house.

    The reason why odometer stopped

    Only 68000KM or about 42250 miles. Not much, I?ll guess it was starving for some lubricants 😜

    GR650 terrible metalic engine noise

    Bad bearing Bad bearing Finaly! Got the engine apart. As you all can see is the bearing totally destroyed. I see some scratches on the rod and on the crank, so I wonder do I have to replace these too? Or will it be fine just to replace the bearings?

    GR650 terrible metalic engine noise

    Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it is a GR650. Do you think it might be #9? The thrust bearing? Maybe, it's just so broken that I thought it was something else. But really logical :o

    GR650 terrible metalic engine noise

    My summer prosjekt escalates. Look at the piston rod :eek: (small metal washer) What is it? It is only on the right side. According to the parts manual it should not be a washer there.. Found some parts of it in oil pan. Any ideas?
