    How did you get that return spring to set in properly mine doesn’t seem to wanna stay in the hole and pops out a little bit when I test it with the kick start lever. Any idea or advice? I have a 99 yz250 I’m pretty sure they are relatively similar.

    This spring better not come out of place. I’m hoping this clutch basket ensure that it cannot come out but seems like a part that can be upgraded. Everything else seems pretty stout but if that spring comes undone it can mash the gears unevenly causing catastrophic damage which I do not want

    At 1:39 the part beside the nut. That’s goes after I put the clutches and clutch face back on right ? It doesn’t go in before I put clutches or clutch basket on right ?

    The push rod goes on after the nut. It goes on before the Outer clutch basket. Double check a partsfische if needed.

    Back in 84', I had a choice between a 77' TT500, (yellow /w chrome tank), or a 82' YZ490, (yellow and black). I bought the TT500 as it was in better shape. Loved that bike as we spent 8 years together till my Girlfriend, at the time, convinced me to sell it. I sure miss that girl ... ...The TT500.

    @@motodrew295 My fondest memory of the bike: One of my older brothers came to town to visit and wanted to ride my TT. I told him, "I will have to talk you thru how to start it." He just laughed at me and said, "I own motorcycles, You can not tell me anything different on how to start a bike", (which was his famous last words, as I stood to the side, waiting to catch the bike, as he did not know about the 'Decompression lever', as the bike kicked back and threw him over the handlebars which he then landed on his back.)
