The pinion shaft comes out with the crank/flywheel assembly. A complete disassembly is in order all the way to the last nut.
That would really be a BAD idea.....Tore the transmission out yesterday hoping to find a broken shift cam follower but found 3rd gear blown instead. This got me thinking, why would you park it for 15 years if all you lost was 3rd gear? Hell, I'd ride around with 3 out of the four gears but that's me.
Was half-assed kidding with that statement. Just a little frustrated but thats the fun in this right?That would really be a BAD idea.....
If there is damage done in the tranny and was not addressed ASAP ....
The Tranny could blow out the case and super big time damage would then be seen....
But...With a broken pinion shaft....It ain't going to run anyway....
Take a look at the pump gear to see "IF" it was installed backwards....If so....That could cause the shaft to fail...
With all due respect, can I get a second?The pinion shaft comes out with the crank/flywheel assembly. A complete disassembly is in order all the way to the last nut.
As was said, flywheel assembly has to come out and apart.With all due respect, can I get a second?
Here is a third....With all due respect, can I get a second?
Indeed....Stew, are the 87 XL bottom ends even servicable?
No taper on the pinion? I know I've read about 87 pinions before.
No doubt. Bummer, I hate to hear these stories.That's one expensive $600 bike.
Yeah.....That's one expensive $600 bike.
Just got off the phone with T&O...T&O has been taking the OEM wheels with the shafts made as one piece, and converting them to a plug in shaft like the older models had....
This just may be the ticket for his problem...
A call to T&O would tell the story....

$100 for the machine work from T&O seems pretty reasonable to salvage that bottom end, no? Lots of work but it might be a fairly painless($) fix.Forget doing a stroke to the Evo Sporty's....
It can not be done using the stock Rods with their short Center to Center...
Would be in need of longer Rods and Jugs...
That would be up there in Dollars....
As far as parting the bike out....Is there much interest in these 1100's if I were to part the motor out?
Saw my guy at lunch. $1500 to rebuild it probably using most of the old parts. Motor only has 8k on the clock. He seems to think it will mostly all fall within tolerance and be reusable. I would need to source a crank assembly to get the pinion shaft.$100 for the machine work from T&O seems pretty reasonable to salvage that bottom end, no?
