Give me your address and I'll mail you mine to use until you find or fabricate one. I'm tearing my bike down to get ready for the season to start. You can use it if you want. Greg

Bought mine new in 87. Scared the shite outta me. Raced it 3 times rode it a little in a field and stored it from 88-08. Less than 100hrs on it. I'VE done it all with it. When you're ready to tweek it some let me know. G. Just ripped some today. RocketshipSmile

Oi! I'm 52Smile ok, make your own clutch holder out of 2 friction disks and 1 drive disk. Drill 3 holes equidistant around the circumference of the disks and use little bolts and nuts to sandwich the drive disk between the 2 friction disks. That will lock the hub to the basket. Then use a penny between the primary gear...

Shifter collar bushing goes on the end of the center pin over the drum shifter. If its kludged up bike won't shift. Don't have to remove clutch basket to fix it.

My 86 had a pinhole in the rearward water passage. Up inside. It was allowing coolant into the gearbox. Had to use a little plastic spatula to poke jb weld in there.

I accidentally bought an 85 shock on eBay. It was listed as an 86. I have an 86. The shock clevis was larger than my 86 knuckle. About 5mm too wide. Maybe 85 knuckle uses a larger collar in the bearing.

With the top covers and side covers off use a screwdriver to turn one of the pinions. Do both valves open symmetrically?
