Next time, instead of beating the sh*te out of the shaft with a hammer, just use a sliding hammer!

Yes slidehammer is really handy, i would never had the rear wheel bearing out without this for my car. The knock impact makes the difference for these problems!

Thanks for more advice according to the starter problem, will put thicker cable on later. After using the bike it will start on the eletric starter when it is warm, when cold I need to kick it.
The reason I had to use a puller on the starterclutch was that it was stuck, after I got it of it was working normaly but I had a new one that I put in to be sure there will be no more problems.
And a sliding hammer is better then sledge that is for sure, maybe I will get one of these to later on.

nick, open your own thread, so people know it is not an old topic...


if the problem is in the gear wheel, then i have one hanging from a wire in my workshop as decoration


just paypal me the shipping cost and it's yours for free.



i might have a bearing too, but right now i dont see it anywhere and my workshop is in a mess,

it's removed from an engine i prepared for my supermono racer but that was two years ago...

it would take time to find it which i dont have right now.


i you can wait, maybe i can find the bearing too

The bearing from a Honda XR650L works as well and is 1/3 cost of the Yamaha one . The gear should always be replaced at the same time even if it "looks" ok , the bearing surface gets worn down, even .001", and the bearing will slip much easier/sooner .
