Vulcan 1500 Classic first start after rebuild
This is the first time firing the bike after I replaced the oil pump gear and rebuilt the motor. Still have a few other things to fix that came up last minute. I'll post videos of those repairs when the parts come in. Thanks for watching!

Переглядів 24 тис.7 років тому
First in this series. I got a little ahead of myself while rebuilding my motor and didn't correctly set the timing the first time through so I took the opportunity to record the process as best I could working solo. Here's the first stage of setting the timing for the front cylinder. You know what to do in the comments! Thanks for watching!
Judges Oil Gear install part 3
Переглядів 7 тис.7 років тому
This is a the video of the clutch modification for the JOG. It's a simple enough mod and all you need is a couple big hammers and a good sturdy table or work bench. It's basically just making sure that the tabs don't stick up higher than the surface of the outer gear on the back of the clutch basket. Just use a straight edge and whatever touches the edge as you move it around, beat the hell out...

Well, I forgot to start the video back up after I cleaned everything but here is the final assembly of the gear kit. The only thing I had to do for modification to fit the gear was hammer the tabs on the back of my clutch basket. One thing that the Judge is adamant about is checking your clearances all around so that nothing contacts the gear that's not suppose to! I highly agree! I'll be posti...

This is a brief overview of the installation process for the Judge's Oil Gear (JOG) kit. This is on a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic. The motor has already been removed but the repair can be done without removing the motor from the bike if you are 100% certain that the POG failure is your problem. Unfortunately, I was working by myself doing this repair so I wasn't able to get any footage of...

    I have a question. The sprockets were removed on my camshafts. Which way do they bolt on? In the manual it shows some pictures with the lobes closest to the sprockets pointing to the right with the sprocket facing toward me and the "F" or "R" on the sprocket on the top of the sprocket and both alignment notches in a horizontal position. Is this the correct way to install the sprockets? The manual does not specify this. Do both the front and rear camshafts have the lobes pointing the same way? I hope I'm explaining this correctly.

  • @CPerreault
    @CPerreault 2 роки тому

    Great set of instructional videos! I just want to add something here. Be sure that the camshafts are installed in the proper heads. The camshaft that goes in the front head has an "F" on the sprocket and the camshaft that goes in the rear head has an "R" on the sprocket. Both the "F" and "R" have to be on top of the sprocket when aligning the notches with the heads.

      @@michaelreynolds9463 Just to be clear, I meant could the sprocket actually be bolted upside down onto the camshaft? The camshaft would thus be positioned off by 180 degrees but with the F or R facing upwards. I'm asking because I'm pretty sure I aligned the sprocket correctly with the letter facing up but the camshaft timing is off 180 degrees. But I bought an engine that came out of a training school so who knows what has been done to it. I've found the wrong bolts installed in different places including one of the cam sprockets. Is there a way to tell if the sprocket is bolted properly onto the cam?

      That depends on how you ride it.Most people fit the cam tensioner extenders at around 60,000m.Some have then gone on to over 250,000m.But that is Americans,who just sit all day long in top gear,at a constant speed.If you ride the arse off it in England,going up & down the gearbox,and accelerating hard.You will be lucky to get 60,000 out of the chains.

      The kit is $360 and it took a little while to get but it was coming from Georgia and around the time I had ordered it, Georgia had a hurricane come through and he was trying to deal with all of that on top of sending out orders. So mine took a little longer than normal to arrive. Typically, it should arrive within 3 to 5 weeks if you live in the continental U.S. Additional parts will be at least the side cover gasket with runs about $10 on Amazon.

    Sorry to hear of the other may/c issues. Something that might be of interest when fixing the clutch. From 2007 onwards the main spring has a cassellated 'washer' engaged with the main spring to protect the 'tabs' on the main spring from wear against the 'holder'. The additional width of the 'washer' in conjunction with the std oem main spring also provides more pressure on the clutch plates. I've go one on order three weeks delivery from Japan. Thank you for your videos and good speed with the other repairs.
