I had to dig one out with carbides last week, actually managed to save the threads!!! Y'all are getting real good with these write-ups, well done. Z   Easyrider Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2015 - 01:56 pm:        Thanks (:   Stimbrell Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2015 - 04:49 pm:        What was the issue with the cam on the 1125 that the customer decided to not have replaced please?   Bud Posted on Monday, February 09, 2015 - 05:07 am:        on the cam is surface break out off hardened material could be ware, could be production mishap ? but did show any other marks on the cam finger   Stimbrell Posted on Monday, February 09, 2015 - 02:07 pm:        Thanks, I was wondering because when I did the valves on mine there were dull areas on the cams, you can see it in this photo in the box, I was wondering if it was normal or an indication of a problem.   Stevel Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 - 06:25 am:        In my opinion, the entire top end oiling is suspect. I have seen excessive cam wear, finger pad wear and cam bearing galling on multiple engines. I'm not sure how to address this issue yet, but I will get to it.   Easyrider Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 - 09:07 am:        Oil can be a issue too. What oil do you guys use. We all know only 10W-40 full sysnthetic should be used in the rotax engines and frequent oil changes are needed and not what comes off the faqctory 20W-50 (becuase HD had no other oil)   Stimbrell Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 - 01:34 pm:        I have been using the Lucas motorcycle full synthetic 20W-50 oil however I did see your recommendation for the Motul 10W-40 on your site recently and have picked some up for my next change.   Easyrider Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2015 - 01:30 am:        The rotax factory long before erik started with the rotax engine made that choise for us (:   Dennis_c Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2015 - 10:45 am:        EBR said to use 20W-50 in a 1125. Maybe some with a 1190 will say what oil. HD does have 10W-40 one word WINTER cold (Message edited by dennis c on February 12, 2015)
