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

Okay? Your opinion😂 and if you run over a nail now you have a flat tire, how would that pertain to us?

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 ?
@motodrew2953 ай бұрын
The push rod goes on after the nut. It goes on before the Outer clutch basket. Double check a partsfische if needed.
