The drivetrain rebuild went well.

My local motorsports shop (moto-man racing, also a great mail order place) has some rear axle bearings in stock along with a new o-ring chain. I picked up a liter of tranny oil too. The PO had given me a new set of rear brake pads and a new 13 tooth front sprocket. He had a 12 tooth front sprocket that was really worn and actually chewing up the lock washer for sprocket nut.

So far:
New Chain
New Axle Bearings and Seals
New Front Sprocket
New Rear Brake Pads
Re-used rear 42 Tooth Sprocket from the Shirley Build (almost new)
New UNI Foam Air Filter left over from the Shirley Build

Also installed the factory clutch lever/parking brake set-up salvaged from the Shirley build, and replaced the nasty sticking twist throttle with the thumb throttle from the PO. I pulled the FMF Silencer w/ SA apart as it looked like it was leaking oil. The packing was gone. So I repacked it with some insulation and sealed it back up. That silencer looks to be extremely restrictive!! That's ok for this quad as its not a drag racer. I put the turf tamers on that the PO gave me vs. the monster truck mudders that came on it (for sale lol).

Total cost so far $131.00

Went through the carb. Its the 87 TM38SS Mikuni with stock jetting (420 Main). It leaked gas so I cleaned the needle valve up and put it back together.

I need new grips and some bolts from Buckeye to get things buttoned up. I hope to get it out this weekend to do some playing around. Nothing real hard as I don't wanna blow it up and wreck the head/cylinder/crank from those shady factory thrust washers.


CRUSTY!!!


FMF Fatty =  FAT POWER!!!


The New Kid packed in there and one lonely Yamaha
