Hey Jakobi, Yep, that was a huge mistake on my part. It sat for 2 days with water, I tried to flush but no luck, it was sure whining. Live and learn. Hope all is well down under.

Thank you Sir. Questions: Can I use the C part number at a quality bearing manufacture source? I'm in the US, can anyone refer me to a good one? Thanks

So my mains are toast and was reading this thread http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12276 for part numbers. I have an 02 XC300, would these be the ones I need as well? Thanks and Cheers

Well, bearings are toast, she's whistling dixie. Thanks for input forum, i'll try and put my next question in the right thread context next time. Cheers

OK so another dumb question, how do I get the diesel into the crankshaft (for lack of a better word) sump if tranny is sealed off? Albeit its probably too late. Thanks for link GasGas Cheers

Thanks everyone for your input. What I'm trying to wrap my head around is how the water enters the crankcase but not the lower end (Tranny clutch), unless I'm mistaken the oil was water free. So I'm assuming the crankshaft bearings are sealed or get lubed from an oil port? I probably need an...

I could have went all day without you telling me that......5oz of water came out crankcase drain, oil looked good. Your certain of bearing failure? Update: Pulled pipe, water as well.....oil looks good no separation after approx 45 min.

Thanks Fred, will do and will let you know, it may take a day or two before I can get to it. I see your in NW AR, I am near Moyers, OK in the mountains. I suspect our terrain is similar and was wondering what is your rear tire of choice? (Sorry for going off topic) Thanks again, John

So I went to cross a creek about 12 to 18" deep hit a big rock and fell. The bike was down maybe 10 seconds, went to restart and nothing buddy had to rescue me. I have removed the stator cover that had a little moisture, checked for spark with plug out and I do have spark. Put plug back in and...

Thanks for feedback. Just started riding again after 4+yrs, had just decided to part out my 300 when a friend got a bike. I moved to south east Okla so plenty of riding trails here probably comparable to Jim Cook's area in AR, a lot of rock and red clay. Was leaning towards a trials tire but...

Great thread, anyone have anything to add on favorite tires since its been a few years?

Thanks Jiauka

I've been punching in the number 5nx-15620-00 in Yamaha parts directory thats in the crossover list for the YZ kickstater but it is not computing. Has there been a number change, does anyone know? Thanks Sorry, found it. Number needs another -00

I want to be fair about this so I'm going down the line from time stamps on private messages and posts. Fury1 is next if he's not interested then it's rider01. Thanks, John

Good Chiros are as hard to find as a good mechanic. After several of them and acupuncture I found a good one to relieve my sciatica which I developed from bowling of all things. Dangerous sport, It hurt more to sit than anything. He's a Gonstead Chiro, I won't go to anyone else now, just keep...
