well as you would have seen, i have smashed up my flywheel cover and snapped my magneto away from my flywheel so she wont start, i have decided to take the plunge and get an IRK and oil cooler etc... just to get a little more outta her. now my question is this. how do i lighten the oil slinger, where is the oil slinger located?? i step by step would be REALLY REALLY appreciated as i know if i take it into sa dirt bikes its going to cost me a small fortune in parts and labour (probably 1k plus) but the irk should only be worth $300 as a worst case senario. so my questions are this
where is the best place to go for kitaco components in australia?
where do i find a step by step process to remove and lighten the oil slinger?
any input or information would be really appreciated, if no one has a step by step i will be sure to take down notes, take pictures and post something up like a "how to" for everything i do
Ive read many a fourm on a US based fourm and they say over and over again do not shave the oil slinger when installing a IRK, but if you must listen to the few so called experts on this site go ahead...
The oil slinger is the oil pump internals its located on the kick start side of the bike towards the front of the motor bottom right hand corner, Its under a little triangle plate, and o only need to shave the are that doesn't grab and flick the oil around.
You can get Kitaco IRK off http://www.oz50.com.au/ or http://www.boxys.com.au they both import Kitaco directley so im sure they'd be able to do a better price due to no middle men importers.
Yeah not sure mate , Epod just got one that's lightened and ready to go ....I think he got it from roost , I'll ask him .

But the IRK are more in the mid to high $400's

say what you want about the oil slinger , but i have run a lightened oilslinger on all my bikes with rotors and as long as the timming is set correct ( about 28 degrees you will not have kick back. If you dont beleive me give Andy a call at BIG 50, Mark at 50 HQ, Terry at MOTO SCOOT, RKFINCH, and just about any where else,. The oilslingers main purpose is to transfer oil from the crank case to the crank, so i dont know who has told you it is the oil pump internals. It is located on the end of the crank and as for under a triangle plate, you obviously you have never seen or worked on one before. I think you are talking about the oil pump itself, so before you come on here and offer technical advice and put people down go and get some hands on experience.Im not having a go at you this subject just gets to me
This is why complete inner rotor kits contain a lightened oil slinger - its not sold as a bonus paper weight.
My final words are if you are not sure do your own research and ring around dont rely on heresay
thanks for the info boys. eichkay do they say why the oil slinger shouldnt be shaved, what are the pro's and cons to a shaved oil slinger as apposed to one?? any info or links you could provide me with would be awesome man.
hay roost. thanks for posting up man, so you say there are complete kits with the lightened oil slinger, where would i go to get my hands on one of them as im quite interested. any help is appreciated mate.
hi i was just wondering if i can put an IRK on a lifan 125 wich is not a start in any gear... so wat do i hav to dooo
you can but it is not adviseable as the clutch basket may let go . On bikes with the clutch on crank shaft (not start in gear) the clutch is mounted on the crank and not the main shaft, so you will have a massive weight reduction on the rotor side and a lot of weight on the other side (not good at all for balance) You can not believe how quick the engine will rev with a rotor it is unbelievable. As i said in my last thread get a few opions as this is just mine
another thing i have thought of is will i need to have HD valve springs to go in accordance with the IRK. because the motor will rev out further and harder the valves will have to retain their movement. either this or i am considering getting the motovert outlaw motor. if this becomes a $800 job then i will begin looking at the outlaw motor.
