Welcome
new to forum and owner. looking for a mechanic south of atl
If you meant Atlanta I am in East Tennessee. I could be wrong but I don't think you will find anyone in the area that knows these bikes like me.
thank you but i'm a 100 miles from tenn. i haven't riden in a long time. the clutch is very hard to pull i think the guy that had it before me put a racing clutch in it.i was thinking may be lighter springs would work. thank you mike
I do sell the Pingle stuff and have helped set up some kits for customers. I may have a bracket or two left on hand. Probably even some air shifter kit stuff and air/electric kill components. Email me at [email protected]
ok thank you i may try to pull it down and ck it out myself. i like the bike but it may be more than i can handle
Sounds like you have the double-disc (DD) OEM times two doubling-up on the single-plate VMax diaphragm clutch. Get a clutch cover gasket, open the right-side clutch cover, and remove one of the two diaphragms, and replace the clutch cover. You won't lose much oil taking off the side clutch cover.
thank you for the info. where can i get a gasket?
Your local Yamaha dealer. If you want to order one I like and use Ron Ayres Yamaha in NC.
