Happy Easter everyone! I got the clutch all straightened out! Don I didn't notice the squeel sound on my soggy maiden ride! Hopefully you were on target with the clutch causing the sound. Now here's the 411 Don, The transmission is in fact a 6 speed 1 up 5 down.I don't know what an undercut gear fee...

Update: I ordered the 11/32 clutch ball monday Not a single dealer keeps these in stock btw.So Its a next day part that comes in I go to get it and they lost i :-( .No big deal though So I get the ball finally and I get it installed and as I'm looking over the manual for the a-b line up marks I real...

I need to get my photo bucket working and start taking pics of stuff I guess lol.That way you guys can identify things that have beed modified.I know the carbs have been done and it has some racing intake manifolds on it.The stock ones came in a box wi h the bike.Other than that I know very little a...

Thanks for responding Don! I know nothing of what's going on in my tranny as far as gears go I was just pretty baffled by it when I made the discovery myself.I'm curious but not enough to open it.Maybe your dead on Lol I wouldn't know how to tell. The clutch rod does have a rounded end on it.My firs...

Update, So the manual doesn't really say wich side to remove the clutch push rod.I decided I would pull the clutch cover first and then remove the rod. The plates don't look bad and it looks fairly fresh.However the ball is no where to be found.So I'm assuming this is part of the reason my clutch re...

Anyone know what year engines will fit in my 97 yzf1000 ?

Today I rolled the bike out of the garage and let it run for about 15 minutes monitoring everything .I started messing with bleeding the clutch and I'm hearing it leak in the slave.I pulled the slave and sure enough the seal is leaking. So I guess I will be buying a new one before I can ride it. I n...

Thanks Don I appreciate the responce.This is fresh oil and about 4oz so far I think its finished hopefully.I'm going to check the valve cover gasket and make sure its seated properly.I hadn't noticed it straight away but apparently its been leaking for a few days as I discovered a puddle where it sa...

Don or anyone I have a problem and I need your help again.I tore the bike down cleaned the carbs fixed some of the harness damage opened the engine and checked the cam timing, Cleaned the tank and other odds and ends hit the choke and she fired right up.NOW the question on either side of the head th...

That made a huge difference the bike fired without back firing and it started and ran a few strokes.I can smell the old gas in the carbs.I pulled them and drained them and removed the bowls.To my surprise there not showing a lot of funk or anything but Ill pull the jets and run some cleaner through ...

I decided ti call my local Yamaha dealer and they faxed me a copy of the wiring diagram as they have it.The orange wire is certainly oart of the ignition system.And it is improperly istalled the harness is reversed its been firing the wrong coil at the wrong time.I'm going to correct this and see if...

Thanks for the responce, I had a little time last nite to look over the ignition system but the manual I down loaded wasn't really clear on the coil feeds.The bike came with 2 sets of coils one set with red boots uninstalled and one set with black boots that are installed.The book shows the left ter...
