I ran the Pro-line setup +2.4g tip weight. 126 on d/m, not a huge top end gain but low and mid was excellent with traction.

 

[87gtNOS]

ah, jimmy, so 62 base weight plus 2.4 in the tips?

 

[jimmyhighway]

Yep

 

[jimmyhighway]

I believe they were 62 base, loaded:

2.4 heel
2.4 mid
2.4 tip

 

[Sidewinder]

use a 1 1/16th wrench on your drive axle, you have enough axle exposed to clear your track so spin it till the wrench hits the ground then you can force like hell and itll come right off

Still not coming off, Im ready to put it back together and say the hell with it.

Where in Ontario are you.

If you're in the West end of Ottawa, I've got all the right tools.

You could always try to borrow the tools from your dealer (if you have an extremely good relationship with them).

the top nut?? Ok, you need two 3 foot pipe wrenchs and be gentle.

On each pipe wrench, slide over 2" conduit pipe (about 4 feet long).

Gentle on the splines on the secondary side.

2 guys.

 

[Sidewinder]

HOLY CRAP, you serious?

 

[87gtNOS]

HOLY CRAP, you serious?

Yup. My two pipe wrenches are like 30" and 22". The nut moves very easy with them.

I just ordered the proper socket though. Hope to have it soon. Will still have to use the pipe wrench on the splines though, I think.

 

[Sidewinder]

Got it, Thanks for everyones help.

The dealer basically laughed at me, guess where I WONT be going.?

Now need torque specs.
Bottom crank bolt, that stupid nut, and case bolts.
Im gonna check Yamaha site to see it if its on a micro fishe
