Better Performance from a PW50 WITHOUT having to add power! | How to install heavier clutch springs

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#pw50 #yamaha #motorcycle
Most people think they need to add horsepower to add performance, when this simple and very affordable trick will totally change the way the PW50 utilizes it's powerband. This is almost an essential mod if you're taking your kids PW racing at the track, or your kid is a bit on the heavier side of the PW50 weight range and the bike seems to be stuggling to pick up speed.

    Yamaha does not use phillips head screws they use J.I.S. screws (JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL STANDARD. Lots of people have not heard of them. If you look at the head of the screw and it has a round dot stamped beside the cross on the head, that is what it means. It makes a world of difference having the proper screwdriver for these because you will no longer strip screws out. Yamaha, honda, kawasaki and even traxxas rc cars use these screws.

    I was literally about to say this ! All japanese brands that have any screws are usually J.I.S. same with water craft and atvs! Especially on the older models with carbs! If you don't have jis set . Then use a impact hammer screw driver that's the 2nd best option never fails but you maybe replacing the screw lol

    Thanks! I just put some in my sons PW too. The bike is still apart but I’m curious to hear your review!!! Also I have 2 sets of the cannon race craft springs if you hear of anyone interested. I have a 35lb set and a 45lb set. We needed up having custom rear shocks made.

    Bc people only know about Phillips heads bc when they go to Ace, Home Depot or Lowes they see metric sockets n wrenches but don’t see “metric” screwdrivers. I too have been in in the field for a long time and until I went to a mechanical trade school I didn’t realize the difference neither. But after a long time doing mechanics I know that quality screwdrivers like snap on n mac work a lot better than a cheap screwdriver. But a lot of people who are wrenching on these little pws are dads trying to get their kids bike running and they are watching KZread videos to figure out how too. But simmer down, and don’t be a dick. Just reply and say a good quality screwdriver or getting a jis style screwdriver will work better and is worth to have if your doing a lot of mechanical work. It’s that simple.
