@restorationvalve17 күн бұрын
Replaced the 24351-14A10 gear because it had rounded-off edges and the fork 25211-37401 which had marks on it. When measuring them out, they barely were in spec. On normal riding the bike was fine, but under hard acceleration, at the end of the rpm range it popped out of the 2nd gear. Also, I replaced the thrust washers for the clutch basket, the nut on the end of the shaft was also loose.

Remember folks when you're assembling the clutch look at factory markings for clutch balance. Yellow dot on clutch housing etc. They should be spread apart by 120 degrees. Not sure if you done that on the video. Add a little bit of clutch grease on pressure plate as well and use proper centering tool, it's not expensive not like on video. Can't recommend your job to anyone but still fun to watch.

An upside to the old motor is you can modify it with the kick and estart parts. The newer frame is also a plus.
