    I love what you did with the title.

    I read somewhere in another thread about a "dead-man" switch on these things, you might want to look into that and/or buy a manual before you give up.

    Check your air cleaner, ignition timing, valve timing and clearance, timing chain tension, flywheel key, and flywheel magnets.

    I merged the two threads you started since they are really the same thing. As far as the Drivline clutch kit you were asking about, I personally have never heard of them, but that is a good price if it is a decent product. I would recommend doing some reaserch on the manufacturer and see what their product performance history is like. Hopefully someone here has used them or at least heard of the company and can give you some better input.

    How long have you been riding, maybe you just need to give your hand time to become used to the using those muscles. Also, like BB said, adjustment can help make things more comfortable. The angle of the handlebars can help as well, rolling them forward or rearward will adjust the your wrist angle as you grab the bars, that can make a huge difference too.

    Yes, I too appreciate those who established this site, it has become my favorite furum to hang around on, and lately the only one. I am also glad for the opportunity to contribute and be a part of things around here, so thanks Admin and Quadcrazy, for making this possible.

    Yes, he definately got what he deserved, although, I have heard he is already out of jail. People who know him say he has no intention of starting anymore trouble with me, I hope it stays that way. My sister has moved to another area with her mother about 100 miles north of here, so he won't be bothering her anymore either. So things have been quite peaceful and somewhat normal around here and I am thankful for that.

    What happens if you apply voltage directly to the starter. If nothing, then the starter is bad. A bad starter would not explain why it was running crappy though. So refer to my last post, but include the coil and CDI unit and all connections between them. Also take the carb apart, it may need a good cleaning.

    That plug looks pretty normal, if you chop the one side of the threads off the plug and take a look at the lower part of the insulator, it will give you a better idea of your air/fuel situation. You could still be running too lean on the pilot, or the needle clip may need to be dropped a notch. If you spend alot of time at low to mid throttle, and the pilot and needle are set too lean, that could be causing the overheating. Take the carb apart again and make sure that the jets are completely clear. Poke a small wire or something through them, soak them with carb cleaner and then blow compressed air through them. Also make sure the floats are adjusted properly. Also, improper ignition timing, dirty, gummed up cooling fins, improper valve adjustment and low grade or dirty motor oil can cause overheating in an air cooled motor. You also may want to install an external oil cooler.

    Glad it was an easy fix, I am suprised you didn't hear any wierd noises when you were trying to move it around.
  11. DirtDemon
    I think that you are on the right track, let us know if you have anymore questions when you are putting the new clutch in.
  12. DirtDemon
    Those motors are completely different, you need the clearance specs for your exact machine and year.

    Use a pair of RUBBER HANDLED pliers to bridge the two main poles of the solenoid. If the thing cranks over, then the solenoid is bad, or the there is a problem with the low current feed that activates the solenoid.

    The best way to test it is to measure the output voltage with the engine running and see if the output is affected by changes in engine speed. I guess that would be kind of hard if you can't get the engine running. There may be some direct resistance tests you can do, a manual or a service tech at a dealership may be able to tell you if that is possible. Another thought is to hook the regulator up to a power source that is putting out about 16volts AC. Hook it in instead of the wires that come out of the stator going to the regulator. The output from the regulator should be about 12volts DC. But most people don't have 16 volt AC power sources just lying around. A dealer may be able to test it for you also.

    Good to hear you got her fixed, there are many parts inside the carb that can be clogged with debris or gummed up fuel. That is so important to make sure to take apart everything you possibly can and clean it. But I guess you know that now. Glad to hear you are having fun on it.

    If I am not mistaken, the inner part of the joint is bolted to the brake disc or the sprocket depending on what side it is on. As far as the circlip goes, I think it just holds the joint to the half shaft. It shouldn't need to be removed unless you are actually replacing or rebuilding the joint itself. What Voodoo is referring to is the snap ring that holds the inner side of a traditional cv joint in, that type just slides straight into a splined socket usually on a differential. I believe that yours is a bolt on type. Once the half shaft it off the machine, just pull back the boot you are replacing, or cut it off for that matter and the joint should slide right apart. Then slide the new boot over the shaft and put the joint back together and install the retaining straps on the boot. Make sure to re-grease the joint.

    The lack of top end could definately be the main jet, also check to make sure the float bowl vent tube is not clogged and that the float is properly adjusted.

    I would disagree that the stock TRX is a slow machine, a friend of mine has an'08 and it is just as fast as my '07 LTR was when stock. The '04-'05 TRX's weren't as fast, but the '06 and up hang with the rest of the 450's just fine.

    I like the DirtDigger clutch kits from Barnett. Should be around $130 for your machine. I have moved this thread to the Yamaha forum and changed the title.

    This is a double post, it is already in the KTM forum where it should be. I would delete this one myself but my powers of moderation don't work in this forum.
  21. DirtDemon
    I would consult a dealer, but I imagine that there are twist throttle kits specifically for machines with a TPS.
  22. DirtDemon
    Not sure, probably somewhere between 21 and 27mm, but you could measure the nut manually.
  23. DirtDemon
    Dead battery? You could have a bad stator, and/or voltage regulator/rectifier.
  24. DirtDemon
    Sounds like the head gasket is leaking compression into the coolant system. Check the torque on the head bolts first. The bigger carb will let more air into the engine, with all the other mods, it should make a noticeable difference.
  25. DirtDemon
    Sounds like the clutch is not engaging, take the clutch cover off and inspect it. Check the clutch cable too.
