I know this is hard to believe, but the old school racer is WAY FASTER than my YFZ450 "formally known as Missle of Death". Holy chit box Batman. This friggin quad flat hauls the MAIL! No doubt in my mind, what so ever, lots more eggs in the basket.
I have two things to report. First is good news, I did not have any "electrical problems" as stated by the previous owner. So I have a new coil and stator that he paid for BONUS!!!
The bad news...I think the previous owner forgot to mention a bent shift fork. As soon as it goes into third gear, it just slips the clutch and the motor revs. If you putt along just off idle in third, the clutch will grab until you grab a handful. My theroy is the bent shift fork is appying pressure thru the shaft on the pressure plate and partially engaging the clutch.
Anyone have this happen before? What did you find? Any input / advise?
