If the bearing has come apart . I use a mig welder and weld 3 short lines symmetrical on the inside center of the race . So to speak were the balls run in the center of the outer race and 3 short welds 1/4 of an inch long . By welding on the race the weld will cool and shrink the race and...

I use a slid mic and check the shims as I go . You would be surprised at how they very . If you take your time you can generally hit your center spec really close .

Yepper . Earthling you nailed it . That's why I use fine Emery cloth and seal them up . Oxidation is the killer of contact .

Grounds can sure cause strang things to happen . So hunt down all of the grounds and clean them up . I use very fine emery cloth sandpaper to shine them up them reassemble and spray them with battery post sealer . Aluminum is a poor conductor to begin with and everything is mounted in rubber or...

Here's the up date . I run the the over head and set the intake at 7 to 8 thousands exhaust 8 to 9 thousands putter back together started it up . Its runs really smooth and never offered to spit and sputter all day and I started it up about 20 times off and on all day and let it run 30 or 40...

There's a lot of good info on here . You see all kinds of people riding all kinds of sleds . The biggest mistake I see is some guy will put he's wife or kid on his old boon docken sled and no wonder they dislike it and never wants to ride . Long story short if your 5ft 2 and 110 lbs find a...

Apex is faster . No 1 out runs an apex and if they do it's because they spent more then you on there apex . Super charger & 175 skid an still hits 110 . You can't go wrong with a Yamaha 4 stroke and they all have some kind of glitch you'll have to look out for some more then others . Best thing...

Well here's the up date on that pile of aluminum & plastic. Intake valves are left to right mag side 4 , 4 , 5 , 3 , 6, 4 mag side left to right exhaust 5 , 7 , 6 , 5 , 8 , 5 . So I guess having them to tight can be a problem . Yellow marker on cam bolts have not been touched from factory ...

I've never run into anything like this before . I didn't just jump on them thumpers with cold feet . I jumped off a cliff head first and never looked back . 1 yz 426 was the beginning to the end of them 2 strokes. I got really tired of chasing them thunder sticks on the track . Well this is...

This machine was sold new in Wasilla AK and run 925 miles in AK then it was sold to a gentleman in Sheridan Wy and run about 120 miles and he's had this problem from the day he got it . He took it to a Yamaha dealer in Cheyenne Wy and had it worked on and no luck solving the problem. Then I...
