Dang, I already commented a few days ago, but you have a gift for this stuff. Extremely helpful on my current XR100R rebuild, but also just in general regarding a mechanic's approach. Excellent.
Veery nice work and good descriptive video, this is how all informative engine building videos should be done. the only thing I would have done differently is cleaning the cases while everything was apart and bearings removed, but that is really preference. Please keep making videos.
@Hunters_Mechanics ive banged mine in and there is a superrrr slight lip at the top but it changed noises when I tapped it all the way down i think and it spins like a dream maybe im just being paranoid would you mind if I sent you a friend request if you fb and I could send you a picture of it? If that's okay with you?
I've been working on it for a long while, there's so much prep work I did on camera that I want to be able to show what I did, but not make the video 1.5 hours, but there's a lot of audio issues with it being in that basement so I am having to re-record some audio sections in my current garage so it doesn't sound off, it's coming!
Is that pin on the inside of the crankshaft end necessary? Visible around 19:45 in the video. I’m wondering bc I’m doing a crankshaft replacement on my xr100, old crankshaft had a pin there but the new oem one does not. Can’t really think of a purpose for it either
It helps direct the oil flow to the crankshaft to lube the crankshaft bearings. As far as understood, the spring helps keep is sealed against the case so it doesn't just leak inside the case and starve the crank, and the hole in the middle helps create oil pressure for the crank bearings. I would not leave it out lol
@@Hunters_Mechanics thank so much for the response man super helpful. How is the pin meant to be affixed inside the crankshaft? Mine just sits in there loosely in the hole, and can be easily pushed out the side again. Is that how it is supposed to be? Thanks again I really appreciate the help.
@@aidenallran3975 There's nothing that holds it in place, it just sits on the little dowel. Forums talked about how people remove the clutch cover and that pin just falls out. It makes it easier being on a tilted stand like mine instead of inside the chassis so it has less of a chance to fall out
@@Hunters_Mechanics Ah I think we have a misunderstanding. I’m referring to the little dowel pin that sits sideways in the crankshaft. The small dowel that the oil guide and spring rest on. It fell out, and when I put it back in it seems to have a very loose fit, not held in by anything. Wondering if that was normal, really holding me up on this rebuild. Trying to make sure I do it right.
I usually buy my parts on partzilla but they don't have like aftermarket kits, just OEM, if I need those kits or even tools I'll use RockymountainATV or Motosport
do you remember the torque spec on the primary drive gear? cant find it anywheres online
I can't believe I missed it in editing! It's 29 ft*lb / 39 Nm
I’ve been working on a xr100r myself and This series has been the most helpful source of information out of any other source I could find.
Glad to hear it!
Absolutely a gem of a video for xr100r. Owners ! Thank you sir , your very clear and concise with your explanations. Very thankful

Appreciate the comment!
Great videos on this build. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Keep up the good work. Subscribed👍
how do you know how to align the shift star to the gear the transmission is in?
Do you know Rember what the torque spec is for the crank case bolts
If I have a first gear issue, do I need to break the whole engine opened like this?
The first main shaft bearing you did does the lip of it poke out just a little and not just completely flush?
Hard to see from the video, looks like it was fully seated without a lip but there should be a pretty distinctive sound of it being fully seated if so

Loved this video series. You ever gonna do a top end video?

@@Hunters_Mechanics referring to the small roller pin that sits sideways through the small pin holes in the crankshaft

Where do you like to get your parts like bearing sets, seals, cables, etc.

@@Hunters_Mechanics great - thanks
New subscriber here you sir are badass did you do a top end video?
@@timmydavis6624 Still editing it 🙂
@Hunters_Mechanics im looking forward to it brother have you ever done an se2 pro build on a 100 by chance mainly the 125 kit?
