Starter Clutch HELP 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
Well I got the carb jetting done, putting it back together and guess what, the starter is spinning in the engine now. Did the starter clutch go? Is that something that I can fix if I follow the manual and take it apart?
Ohh boy, this might be a trip to the shop. I was really hoping against that.

Don't bother with the shop .... it's a pretty simple fix and doesn't require special tools.

Read this ..... Starter Clutch

You guys are the BEST!! I am printing that out now and heading to Yamaha to get my gaskets, I'm not afraid....

If this works I guess I will be sending in Beer Money.... AGAIN....

Best thing is, the bike is in the garage, I just finished re-jetting the carb and this happened, not 150 miles away from home on a dark and lonely road, at 9:30pm, with a rain starting and a cold front moving in.
I'm hearing banjos playing...lol.

Anyway, I'm over being pissed because my bike broke while I was working on it....
Now I got to go fix it.

Banjos? Scare the crap out of me. Ever see Deliverance?

Re:Starter Clutch HELP 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
I was luck? enough to break it in the garage next to the tool box

Now how is that for doing a good job!!

I have to run some things down, but you know what, it could have been a lot worse.

I did get the exhaust gaskets from Auto Zone....lol. Now all I have to do is find the Loctite Bearing Mount and I am going in!!!

Ok the only thing around here that I could find was Permatex Bearing Mount, sounds the same as Loctite as far as the spec's go, so tomorrow the engine is coming apart!!

I wonder if I am going to have left over pieces again

Kidding....
