ATTN: DENO! Your saviours have arrived!

[Bryant]

Mike (SuzukiRider22) and I are willing to help you repair your bike's transmission. With Mike's wealth of experience with motorcycle transmission repair and my assistance/tools/whatnot, we are willing to help fix your bike for a beer or two. Maybe some hot tea for me. ;)

We just need a place to work (which we'll discuss). We will first need to find a place to remove your engine... split the cases.. and examine the damage. At that point, we can determine which parts you will need. I have my factory Yamaha service manual which will be of some use to us too so we are pretty set. Just let us know if you are game for this.

Brothas helpin Brothas dude! We gonna take care of u! It's no fun to see one of our members sidelined with a bum bike!

[HondaRider22]

Sorry to hear about your tranny bro. My sabre did the same exact thing and I didn't have second gear for a while.
I can't wait. I'm not sure yet but we may be able to do this at my house. I have an open 2 car garage with a big ass bench with most if not all the tools we'll need. We'll talk soon bro.

Just wanted to give you two props for helping another member out. You guys get the "Good Guy" award for the day. :clap:

[deno]

heelllssss yyeeahhhh!!!! you guys rock! This site f'n rocks!!!:rockon:

thanks so much for throwing out the lifesaver ring Bryant/Mike!:D

as for tearing the bike down, I have a 1 car garage but it's pretty full of bikes and a graveyard of parts and toys. I've got a descent amount of tools but nothing expansive.

Let me know when you guys are available so we can crack this baby open.



much love to Hypercycles!!:headbang:

[burst]

I can offer a 3 car garage and plenty of tools but I am not exactly close to you guys.

[Bryant]

Just so you guys are aware.. this project may take about 2 weeks or so to complete. Main thing is we need a place to keep the chassis of Deno's bike for a while... we can remove the engine there and transport the engine to Mike's place where he has an engine "holder" thingy so we can begin work on the engine. Burst, if we can use a small space in your garage, that would be great. :) Lemme confirm with Mike....

we can keep the chassis in my garage no problem. and the motor will fit in the back of my suv easily. ;)

[shaggy]

You guys rock! if you need any help or more tools give me a holla.

[Bryant]

Will do. :) thanks Shaggy! Deno.. den we will prolly use your garage to keep the bike in. :) Imma meeting Mike tonight so will take care of details at that time.

[TreAdidas]

TAKE PICS!...

yes this place does definitely rock

[CjrJAM]

I gots a small single bike trailer that you guys can use to transport any machinery that you don't want inside your cars and such, jus lemme know.

[GPTECHMAN]

hey can I watch and help....?

[HondaRider22]

Everyone is welcome to join... I'm going to start a maintenance day were we can start this project...

[deno]

okay, for this Sunday whats the plan.

Rip the motor out.
split it.
figure out what parts we need
order up some parts

That's about as far as we can get this first day. no?

[Bryant]

That is correct!~ So u game for Sunday then?

That way we can try to get those parts asap for your transmission and you can be back riding again. :) Then all we have to worry about next is your carbs. :-p

[deno]

yeah, you guys still planning on riding this Sun? I'm down pass on the ride if you guys wanna wrench early

Don't forget that Yamaha put the parts catalog online:

[deno]

Thank you much Mr. Dre! I'm sure that'll come in handy once or fifteen times;)

[pulse]

Sure we should do a ride early Sunday to stretch our legs a bit and enjoy the good weather.. heck it's a rare chance indeed for me to ever get out for a ride since I'm so swamped with work these days. but I'd like to get home by at least 1pm and begin work on the bike. I'd estimate a total of 3 hours of work to get engine out and split cases. we need zip-lock bags, permanent marker, magnetic trays, etc.. to keep the parts separated ready. I have a magnetic tray we can use.

Vid OR pics.....this would be great to see. The good guys going into action to battle the evil broken down tranny.

[deno]

do you guys have a rear stand that leverages directly on the swingarm? My swingarm spool sheared off rendering my rear stand useless.

I can go buy a set of new spools by then if we can get the rest of the old bolt out of there.

[GPTECHMAN]

Deno go get my stand from my house. the white one....its in the backyard and I think that Jeff is borrowing the front but you can grab it if hes done(If you need it..?)

so grab it anytime

Deno I got a rear powerstand that can go right on the swingarm if needed, lemme know if you want it.

[HondaRider22]

hmm the replacemenet trany parts will cost up to 700 bucks so definetly look into it. If you get that trany and it's good this will be a two day job. :)

[cbrsmurf]

dang, 700?!

[HondaRider22]

Yeah that's including replacing all bearings, c-clips, gaskets, gears, shift drum, etc...

May cost as low as 3-4 hundred, but that is to be determined...
