No such screw, atleast not on the never ex600'es as my '03 dont have 'em aswell.

But it doesnt matter much, you really want to disassemble the forks and get all the crud out when you see how much crap is inthere.

But that's the whole point of cleaning it up =o

have you slackened your engine mount bolts? sometimed the engine may need to move a touch to allow you to withdraw the shaft..

I hade the same problem...
 
After a lot diferent tests I only hade to use big force to get it out. It was all rusty inside and the needle berings was destroid. I hade to buy it all new, even the axel. Good luck...

Still stuck. Soaked in Plusgas, but no joy. Abandoned in the garage while I regroup.

The drainhose from the airbox needs to be plugged/shut, you then remove the plug to release whats in there (oil/water), and put the plug in again.

If the plug is left out, the bike will suck unfiltered, dirty air (and water) trough that hose, around the filter into the airbox, and into the carb/engine.
This is another hose Jens, the one you mention is at the front of the airbox and drains the accumulated crankcase blowby oil, the hose with the pinched tip is at the back of the airbox and drains a seperate chamber in the airbox which is open at the top, under the seat.

Same with my 99, no drain plugs, Yamaha's choice to use a fork with no drain plugs is complete bean counting bullshit, anyone who changes their fork oil knows how easy it is to drain/flush forks using low air pressure through the air valve at the top of the fork, a 20 minute job now takes an hour or more :funmeterno:

If thats big a deal to you, yhen drill and tap a hole, and put a plug in it and be done with it :D

Not too big a deal for me, servicing the forks is not to only change oil. And as I sid before, you can clean it thougholy when you've taken the whole fork apart. Theres a lot of crud inthere thts hrd to get out by just drining the oil.

The newest xt's doesnt have an airvalve either, yamaha and a lot of other ditched that, So be thankfull for a better fork :thumbup1:

These "Pinched" drain hoses are not meant to be plugged, their designed to
minimize the amount of water getting into the airbox while still allowing it to
drain. these pictures were before I cut the tip off.
