Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Interesting. Bearing puller is what I questioned. I believe its a very good thing specially when you want to reuse the bearing and what to take out without any damage to it. I will look forward to add it to my collection. :thumbup:

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

The split type bearing puller pulls out the bearing by the inner ring and it can damage it.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

I thought it was a magnet puller but the yellow band with the pointy tip(never saw this pointy thing with any mechanic) confused me. Never saw bearing puller in action either.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

But hitting with rod & hammer would cause a lot damage than just pulling. I believe pulling is better & safer than hammer hits.

If you open your magnet side cover you will notice a tiny hole in the center where magneto nut fits. That pointy tip enters in that hole which help keeping the puller at the center and magnet pulls out straight.
All puller does have a point, some have small, some have big, it doesnt matter. The puller which mechanic use do have pointer but due to age and regular use and misuse it get damages and shrink so small that it doesn't remain easily noticeable.

Yesterday, my dad and me went for a trip of 70 kms.
The Bike was steadily cruising at 75 km/h.
When he tried 80 km/h and above, the bike suddenly stuttered and the engine shut off.
Looks like the spark plug cap was loose and the vibration had made it even more loosen.
Tightened it, poured some water on engine, continued at 80 km/h.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Right you both are . Don't mind tossing the bearing if try ANY bearing removal method - 80% it's gonna get damaged . My chief concern is to remove it gently enough so as not to damage the bearing seat in the wheel-hub . For this I don't like the draft-and-hammer method all mechanics do here .

This is the close up of it (in parts) as paul asked for last night -



What got me interested in it is that the colet is a perfect tight fit in our bike's wheel bearings size (6301) , see ...



Then when you insert the metal insert from outside , it expands and grabs the bearing perfectly ...



Now only I have to modify the bolt section which pulls it out by turning on the threads - to suit our bike's wheel openings etc .. for which I need to open a wheel and try out the size etc , maybe add a large washer or rubber ring etc etc ... . But if anyone can show me a better wheel bearing puller idea , I shall always be interested

This is the parts of the magnet puller - seems well machined . Hopefully it's alrighty , because I have not pulled the Splendor's magnet with it yet !



Take out the plug-cap and check if it's rusty insides , check it's resistance with multimeter . It usually needs replacement from time to time , if so buy a OE plug cap (black one) . Pouring water on a hot engine case is pretty drastic .

Arre , not all of these ... just the tiny Micra , it's an awesum tool . But I've been infatuated with knives since childhood and have always had pocketknife and also lost many , mostly stolen from swimming pool changing rooms - and wait till I post a pic of my 18" Khukri someday

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Can't understand why pouring water in engine is pretty drastic? Elaborate?

These are some of the pullers my mechanic is having.


Thanks for explaining the working of bearing puller.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

@ sandeepcf - The middle one seems right for Splendor's magneto .

Has anyone seen a tool like this here ? It's a c-spanner of the same type as those used to adjust rear shockers of some bikes .



But it's used to adjust the steering adjusting nut on our bikes , without taking the big chrome steering lock-nut off . Just by loosening the big lock-nut , you can use this to adjust steering tightness very easily . Mechanics just use a screwdriver and hammer for this , but this is the proper tool for it . For example ,



By cooling hot metal like that, it is theoretically possible to crack it from thermal stress . Very unlikely on motorcycle engine parts however , almost never going to happen . Else we could not ride into a water puddle with hot engine ! But a) it is un-necessary to cool bike engines in this way b) how long is it going to remain cool from dunking ? may be 3-5 mins c) the metal parts don't like being cooled suddenly and unevenly like this d) if your plug cap is loose or rusty etc , wetting it shall further aggravate it's troubles .

Where's the pollution controller or secondary air induction device in HF Dawn? I cant find it anywhere.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Dawn model doesn't have it my friend.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Then pollution norms?
So, if i put in an old Splendor(pre-2000)'s silencer, can i get the old type beat?

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

Dont worry about pollution. Hero bikes doesnt make pollution. The perfectly tuned bike burns up the fuel completely and doesn't affect environment compared to other bikes.
No this doesn't change the sound/beat. The old model silencer is different which makes that type of note. No benefit of putting this and doesn't require either.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

No no, I mean, the pre-2000 model splendors doesn't have pollution controller and I heard that without pollution controller, the sound is different than the ones with pollution controller, so my 1997 Splendor doesnt have pollution controller and the silencer is also old type, and we can differentiate whether its a pre-2000 or post-2000 model just by hearing its sound. Pre-2000 models had the throaty/bassy exhaust note which I like always, so asked if I can put that same old silencer and get the same old exhaust note.

Re: Hero Moto Splendor/Joy/CD-Dawn/Passion

I told about pre 2000 models. Pollution controller doesn't have anything to do with sound. It is the silencer which is different now. Yes you can get the same bassy sound if you put the old exhaust. If your splendor is of 1997 then it should already have pre-2000 model silencer and throaty/bassy exhaust note.
