TECHNICAL MOTOBRICK WRENCHING In Remembrance of Inge K. => The Motobrick Workshop => Topic started by: Kevinb on October 03, 2017, 10:25:33 AM

Hello everyone,
I'm in Montreal, Canada, I have a K100rs 1991 that as being started cafe by the previous owner.
I made the mistake to belive him when he told me the spline has been maintenance not long ago, the bike was in descent shape, so I had no reason to not belive him. Big mistake, what would have been a 1h job last week became a nightmare!
So I'm seeking advice, first I toke pretty much everthing appart, the final drive as no damage (tx motorcycle god), the U-joint is completly destroy and the shaft itself as the surrounding rubber partialy damage (but maybe by time), see picture
so :
1-should I replace the shaft as well, or it fine like that?
2-can other part as being damage by that destruction?
3-is there other model that are compatible, just u-joint or shaft
4-any idea where to find those part in Canada?
5-I eard about a specific grease for that, what the name and where can i find it?
6-anything esle here I should considere?
Thank you in advance
Kevin

Am I the only one who can not see the photos of this completely destroy u-joint and nightmare drive shaft?
-
Sorry
-
Photos need to be directly in front of the shaft and clearly focused, Kevin.
-
the teeth are fine, it's the rubber that worries me, that why the angle, and the focus got lost in the downgrade quality to be able to post it :(.

The U-joint is not completly destroy?
-
How come I have three K75 driveshafts lying around and none of them have any visible rubber? Is that a K100 thing?
-
No, it's tottaly fuck
-
When my u-joint looked suspect, I got an OEM match from Rock Auto. I do not have that K100 any longer or I would look up the nomenclature for you.
I think there may be cheap u-joints from China that may fit. I think there are a few members here that go for cheap alternatives from China.

I just did the same job on my 1990 K100rs. My u-joint was blown apart just like yours. I ended up getting a used drive shaft ass'bly from a wrecker in the UK for a not unreasonable amount of money; plugged it in and away I went. Pretty straight-forward job and not a lot of money
-
Is this what happens when the u-joints aren't phased properly, or is it caused by something else?
-
Hi,
I don't know if it was phasing, I just got the bike and it was completely destroyed when I opened the casing, that would be pretty dum doh, it's very simple too phase.
Since I didn't get any advice I went with what I thought, I keep the drive shaft, just got a use U-Joint from a UK shop name Motorworks, great service, the part was A1.
And because I'm doing all my mechanic in the streets, I will bring the bike to BMW, so they can check for further damage and lube the spine at the same time.
And funny, I can't find any of the BMW recommended grease in Canada, so, just for the transport purpose,I put red n tacky, I'm sure it's shit, but that will make it for the transport.So basically, I still have all the same interrogation, but winter is coming, no time to wait, so I will pay for the answers.
thank you

Honda M-77 'assembly paste' is available in Canada -- see nearest Honda dealer. Make sure the contents of the tube have not separated into a gray liquid and a hard black lump before squeezing the tube and losing the liquid. If separation has occurred, cut open the tube and re-mix the solid and the liquid with a spoon before applying.
Laitch suggested Loctite LB 8012 Moly Paste. This should be available in Canada.
Bon chance.

Thanks mate,

But I will look into it for the futur
Thank you

Sorry
So to respond at that question, yes, that drive shaft is done, that rubber is like the anti-shock system of the drive shaft, so back to ordering parts online!
