250-500cc Husqvarna WR 360 200 Rebuild

Wouldnt worry about oil change during running in, unless your going thinner.
Yay another 360 lives!!!

Mine will be alive again soon, in workshop having overhaul. when i bought it bike was running fine apart from the rumble below. On strip down found main bearings rusty, must have been laid up for sometime with water in the cases !!! Rod kit on its way (ktm). Barrel was in good condition so just new piston here. Gearbox in very good condition very little wear anywhere. What is really odd, 2 smoke huskies never seem to wear bad anywhere, i have had a few over the years and not one was ever a basket case !!

If they let go it tends to be lack of maintenance im suprised the seals dont go and seize or flood engine in the event of crank shaft bearings going bad.

Second running ! blipping throttle, cooling down, and bit of riding around !! i missed it soo much .) starts on first kick if i make the piston go at top position ! it should be broken in now .)

I personally would do another few heatcycles then take her for a spin dont load the engine and dont make her scream not for the first hour or so, then after thats done warm her up every ride and go scare yourself on it..
What sprockets you running?

yesyes. thats what i did. 3 heatcycles. after the third one i took her for abit and them other day i warmed her u. did abheat cycle for a bit. and rode it on the field . not making her screm.not putting her in much pressure .) i willdo this today again and go for an nice ride i weekend

Enjoy she should be good for a long while now if everythings been done correctly.

yes thanks c. happy riding

was at the workshop on wed doing some preping and cleaning prior to reassembly and found some brown residue on the flywheel side i think the cover had a bad seal and some water got into the crank ?

any pics?

could do but the engine is at my local motorcycle engineering shop at the moment.

getting a new waterpump seal or rebuild?

The whole engine has been inspected so, new rod set, crank bearing set, bore honed and new piston. full gasket set and top end o ring set.

cool, let us know how it goes when its back together

Whoah man! wish you luck and let us know how it gone .)

Popping down the workshop this afternoon on another errand (cable repair) so will see if there has been any progress.
