Je galère avec ce carter

The speaker begins by thanking viewers for their support and announces several replacement and installation tasks for a motorcycle. First, they will replace the old fork bellows with new ones. They will also replace the chain slider with a harder, aftermarket plastic version, noting that the original 40-year-old one is cracked and dirty. A new gold chain will be installed, along with a new 14-tooth front sprocket. The engine protection plate, previously derusted with WD40, will be reinstalled, including its anti-vibration rubber piece. Next, the ignition cover will be installed once the chain is in place. The speaker mentions adapting a new carburetor, which isn't exactly the same as the original, but they have ordered a complete set of main and idle jets. They recall having difficulty finding jets for XR80 carburetors in the past, leading them to buy an entire Nibi carburetor. The original main jet is 95, but most complete jet sets start at 100, which is larger, though 100 is recommended, especially with an FMF exhaust. The speaker then presents a used transmission cover, which is cheaper than a new factory one. Despite a few scratches, it’s in much better condition than the "pitbull-attacked" original cover that came with the machine. The main objective for today is to cut the handlebars. The speaker reminds viewers that the handlebars were 30 inches long, and they plan to shorten them by half an inch (10 mm) on each side, bringing them to approximately 29 inches. This modification is desired because while wide handlebars are good for street riding, they can be cumbersome when navigating traffic during vlogging. The cutting process begins. The speaker notes there's no special technique, just a need to be fearless. They protect the carburetor from aluminum dust and proceed with the cut. After the cut, they confirm the handlebars are straight. Moving on, the speaker describes removing the front end and fork, then dismounting the old, dirty fork bellows. They removed the collars from the new bellows, using original collars with black screws for the top and leaving the bottom collar-free as it will hold well. The new bellows are installed, noting a small gap where the front brake cable guide abuts the bellows collar. Once tightened, the new bellows are in place. Next, the plate that holds the front plastic number plate and front fender is addressed. It appears to be missing a screw at the rear for the fender. Three small H-head screws are used to secure it. The speaker cleans the accelerator grip, noting that the rubber is glued. They proceed to cut a part of it, joking about recycling it for use in France due to high shipping costs. The grip has a lot of old glue, which is difficult to remove. The speaker humorously relates this to motocross incidents where parts get damaged, but emphasizes their focus on street riding in front of Parisian municipal police. They also mention using wire to secure components, a common practice among off-road riders. The speaker then files a slightly crooked part to achieve a perfect alignment, driven by a desire for precision. They lubricate the inside with WD40. The small plate holding the front plastic number plate is reattached. The speaker then prepares to remove the transmission cover (clutch cover) to install a new one with a fresh gasket. This requires a 14mm bolt, which they remove. The speaker humorously describes working on the ground like in the old days, without a proper workshop. They methodically remove the bolts holding the cover. They anticipate some fluid leakage and retrieve a basin. The speaker notes the April heat and identifies a rubber component. They encounter some difficulty removing the cover, suspecting either a stuck gasket or a missed screw. They confirm all screws are removed and express growing familiarity with XR80 engines. They recall having accidentally dislodged a clip/spring earlier. After removing the oil level plug, they clean the cover, noting the good condition of the speed seal. They clean off excess paper gasket material from the contact surface. The speaker then lubricates an orifice for the speed seal and installs a new gasket on the shaft. They mention an oil filter inside, a rubber tab that slides between the engine and transmission casings. They check the clutch mechanism and push rod before attempting to install the transmission cover. However, they discover that the new cover is not the exact same model; the bolt hole spacing is different, making some screws too long or too short. They acknowledge the model year difference but believe it will still fit. The speaker expresses determination to find the correct screw and temporarily reassembles it. Finally, the speaker mentions a change in an original component from 80mm to 100mm, requiring a new 100mm rod.
