Bottom End

  1. Remove the cylinder base gasket
  2. Remove the allen head bolts located on the waterpump, Reinstall the bolts after you remove the water pump (see red arrows). Inspect the plastic gear for any problems
  3. Loosen all the 8mm bolts holding the clutch cover on the motor.
  4. Remove the clutch cover and set aside (mine came off pretty easy but it may need a little tap)

Inspect

No matter how long you let the oil drain for your still gonna have alot in the motor, my oil is not black from not being changed its dark blue, I use synthetic silkolene.

In the picture to the right check out the little speck near the arrow, yulp that's one of the three dogs from my 4th gear wheel. (Which mates to and engages 2nd gear) its about to jam up the oil pump gear, so I am glad I stopped when I did (it locked up anyhow or I would have rode it out of the woods instead of getting towed)

  The Clutch

  1. Locate and remove the five 10mm bolts holding the clutch together. Loosen them in a start pattern a few turns at a time until all tension is released them remove the bolts and the springs.
  2. With 2 hands grab the entire clutch pack and pull it out of then clutch basket toward you. (See picture to the left, the basket remains attached - its bolted into the shaft) Set the clutch pack aside trying not to mess up the order of things
  3. In the center of the basket is a large nut with a lockwasher bent up around it, similar to the washer used on the sprocket, bend the washer back down flat
  4. Remove the large nut, an air impact gun will remove this pretty easy, if you don't have one you will need an extra set of hands to hold the basket, also keep in mind the crank may move when you are doing this step so insure the timing chain will not bind and get kinked or break. With an impact gun the inertia of the internal parts takes care of keeping things from moving.
  5. Remove the lockwasher and pull the clutch boss (center piece of clutch housing or "basket")
  6. Locate the thrust washers, and wiggle it over the shaft splines to remove it
  7. Now remove the clutch "basket" and inspect for abnormal wear, look for grooves on the inside of the "fingers" that would make clutch action "notchy" also inspect the plastic gear on the back to make sure no teeth are missing
  8. Set all the clutch parts to the side where they wont get disturbed.

Behind the Clutch

    1. Pull the shift rod out toward you and set it aside (yellow arrow)
    2. Remove the "shift guide" which is exposed after removing the shift rod (see the two 10mm bolts to the right of the shiftrod, they hold the "shift guide" on. Remove them, remove the guide then replace the bolts in the case.
    3. Carefully pull the "shift head" (see the white arrow - Yamaha calls it the shift lever for some reason) from the end of the shift drum (roll over the image to the right to see it) use 2 fingers to keep the spring loaded metal pieces from flying and set aside (look for the red arrows on the rollover picture) be careful not to loose the bushing on the "shift head"
    4. Look inside where the shifthead just was, you will see a 12mm bolt, remove it and the rest of the shifthead will come out (the shiftdrum may turn a couple clicks before it stops and you are able to loosen the nut)
    5. Put the shifthead back into the part you just removed to keep the small pieces from getting lost and set it aside
    6. Remove the circlips off of the shafts for the engine speed sensor and the oil pump gear (red arrows) Remove the gears and set aside
    7. Remove the 3 allenhead bolts holding the oil pump in the case, remove the oil pump (the pump is behind the bottom red arrow, be careful not to loose the 2 O-ring behind the oil pump) then replace the allen bolts into the case.
    8. Flatten the lock washers on the counterbalancer drive gear and the crank gear (green arrow)
