02 WR426 Ticking when moved around in neutral w engine off
Alwaats posted a topic in WR400F/426F/450F
Hey Guys, i've noticed a ticking noise when i'm moving my bike around. It's quite loud and i thought it was just the chain on front sprocket but on closer inspection the sound does not match the rotation of sprocket tooth/chain so it really must be coming from the sprocket shaft inside the gearbox. Having never had this box apart and facing a mammoth task if i do so, would anyone have some advice or history with this? is it normal? wear and tear and to be ignored? or is it undercutting/mis-alignment of gears and about to grenade on me? -
I bought this 426 last year for $1400 cash. At that time, it ran pretty great. I was riding it medium hard in 5th gear and it quit on me very much like a solid killswitch, and hasn't fired since. Took the stator cover off and theres alot of oil in there, I know it needs a full rebuild.. Dealership says it'll be about $2grand, and obviously my concern is how to get around that high of a price to get this thing back in tip-top shape. Can someone kindly list my options as far as low cost mechanics? Or salvage bikes (even other than a 426)? Any suggestions? Everything else about this bike is flawless perfect, not a bushing is worn out, it's never been ran hard, and it has never had any kind of real maintenance. It's in too good of shape to junk..

I wanted to be able to remove my fender packs when i don't need them...but i also like the security of the bolt-on design, rather than the strap on type of packs. Here is my solution. Chuck the pins in the worlds smallest vise and use a cutting wheel, or hacksaw to cut them just above the first hitch pin hole. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WEAR SAFETY GLASSES!!! Cutting wheels have a tendency to fly apart whenever they want to...and riding is tough with one eye. Then chamfer and smooth the rough ends with the worlds smallest bench grinder. *I have a pretty small garage, so you will notice many of my tools are also of Lilliputian dimensions Now, you have used the bolt holes in your fender pack as a template to drill the appropriate holes in your fender. Here we see the trimmed Clevis pins with washers inserted into the underside of the fender holes, and epoxied in place. Here we see the finished product from the top of the fender. This is the way it will look when you don't want to lug around your packs. Now, you can use the hitch pins to secure your fender bag in a snap...and still take it off easily!! Here is my headlight shroud getting the same treatment. And the finished product, the way it looks when you don't want to take your packs. And here it is with my moose tool pack attached All done!!!!

Anybody with a current/past WR426 project please feel free to post your progress here. I'm in the process of restoring my 2001 WR426 and getting it street legal; I paid $1600 for the bike and so far have put about $486 into it. If anyone has questions about the street legal process or the parts needed just ask below.
