Thanks 02GF74!

Ok after looking closer I believe you are talking about the oil seal in my list. I updated the description, and it would be part number 23 in the pic. Oil Seal Yamaha item: 93109-08061-00 Thanks again!

Thanks 02GF47! Are you referring to this part? GUIDE, PUSH ROD 26H-Y1639-00-00 Yamaha

I am about to order the parts to replace my clutch slave cylinder. I haven't seen a full list put together so I am putting this up here from what I have gathered reading this thread and watching some videos. Can anyone think of anything I am missing before I order that I should add to the...

Hi Steve, yeah I tried the extractor set I have and used successfully in the past, but it just didn't work this time. I didn't try any heat yet though. Yes I need to get some JIS screwdrivers.

Hey hondaman, I used a set like that going all the way to the largest bit, and each time it just removed more of the screw and would not bite and stick. I have used it before to get a bolt out of an old vise jaw. But, it just kept stripping out this time. The screw just seemed really soft.

FM yeah I didn't know if the torch would get it too hot. I have a heat gun which will get much hotter than the hair dryer, just trying not to mess anything up. Do you think the left hand bits will work better than the extractors? I was surprised at how the screw continued to strip as I kept...

So, I went to ride last week and found my clutch system pretty much out of fluid. So, I was going to fill it back up to see if I could find the leak and then fix. First screw is where it went south. It started to give way and strip, and nothing I tried after did anything but make it worse...

Hi all based on the recommendation from Fire-Medic I would like to get the Stage one jet kit removed and the factory exhaust put back on, along with a good overall checking over and adjusting. Guessing the carbs will need to be synced as well. Right now this is a main vehicle for me so instead...

@Fire-medic Thank you for taking the time to write all that up! That is some incredibly valuable information. I got it with 11,255 miles on it. So it does have a stage 1 kit in the carb with the cobra exhaust. The guy I bought it from did have the paper work that showed the stage 1 kit and...

@VMAX_Jon_NC it worked exactly as you described, thank you very much! Josh

Thanks @VMAX_Jon_NC ! I have a 2002. I had read about turning the knob backward would unscrew the knob so this does make sense. I will try it and let you know. Josh

Hi all, I promise I am not as dumb as this question is. I was researching how to reset the trip meter here on the site and in manuals, and I found two things. One I found references to broken trip meter knobs and the fact that you can't fix it at all if it gets broken. Two I couldn't find...

Hi all, I am back on two wheels! My first bike was a Boulevard so this is a bit of a upgrade for me :). Loving the bike so far. I have a few issues I will ask about in the proper forum. Glad to be here and thanks for having me. Josh
