So I haven't been too active, apologize for that, but this site has been handy in helping rebuilding my '97 YZFR as I get better and better at wasting it... BUT, thats the usuall story if anyone rembers my last blog.
So here is the deal. I hate splitting the case on this '96 motor because it is older and stupid, so I have to remove the head just to get to the transmission completely split (one bolt, WTF!!!), and it just sucks to do that. Also, YZFs have a habit of blowing out 2nd gear almost every year once you've jacked it up the first time (..ok..and ragging on the bike does it too)...so any easy fix would be great, besides of 'course not ragging on the bike.... So here's the idea..
I was once told you could remove the shift drum somehow by wiggling it and knocking the shift forks around after you remove the pins that hold them in. This is either a great big mechanic secret or impossible as no one has ever given me a solid answer, but just thought I'd see if anyone ever heard of that before (yes, besides from me) I haven't yanked the bike apart yet, but I have most everything I can to immitate a pro shift kit, but I haven't ever found one for a '96+ zyf... everything is newer...
...any thoughts on that would be kick arse
