Hi everyone,
I haven't been on this forum for a long time. I live in Hungary, but will be returning soon to the U.S. and reunited with my beloved '85 V-Max. a friend has been taking care of it for me. The starter clutch was grinding and missing pretty bad when I left, and my friend says it has become worse. I'm only going to be with my bike for 1 week before returning to Hungary, and have plenty of other things I would rather do than a starter clutch. I need a list of some items that I need to get the job done right the first time! I've already looked at nearly all the posts on this subject.
I have already ordered:
- Starter clutch assembly
- Both cover gaskets
- Flywheel* plus the smaller gears
*EDIT - I didn't get the flywheel. I meant the large gear on the flywheel.
I have access to limited tools and an air compressor.
I still need:
- Puller (I've got the Yamaha part numbers, but any other suggestions?)
- Those 3 bolts that tend to fail
What size metric tap(s) should I bring (most of my tools are here in Hungary) to chase the threads?
Again, I've got a very small window of opportunity to get this done quickly and right the first time! THANK YOU in advance!!! I'm getting SUPER excited to ride my Max again!!! Don't tell her I've been riding an FJ1200 here.
