Hey,
I'm currently rebuilding a 1994 lt 80 and have a few questions,
What holds on the front sprocket onto the splined shaft?
What is the original lt 80 piston size?
Thanks in advance
Steve

stock piston is 50mm.
If going bigger, get a zuki piston till you go 1.5 over.

another quick question, which way does the arrow point on the piston?, towards exhaust or inlet
thanks

Yes, towards the exhaust! & don't have a brainfart like I did, MOST quads the exhaust faces the front....NOT an LT80, arrow towards the BACK!
hehe!!!
I've had a few come in with these fancy grooves (and some chunks out) by the exhaust port.

sorry folks another stupid question, i'm still rebuilding the 1994 lt80 and i've just stripped the front clutch, firstly it was full of solidified black grease and two of the rollers were facing inwards as if they had turned, is this right?, can i just clean it out and pack it with fresh grease, i've read about a mod you can do by removing some rollers is this right? and what are the benefits, and finally can someone briefly explain how this thing works as my brain aint working tonight, thankyou
steve
OK, first inspect the front hub (variator/where the rollers sit) for grooves and uneven wear on the roller ramps from the hard grease making the rollers spin. Bad grooves or uneven roller rams and you need a new hub ($40 +/-) If that happened the roller plate is prolly grooved and also needs replaced.
Flat spots on rollers=new rollers.($3-4 each)
DO NOT pack it with grease again. A dab of high temp grease on each roller will do fine (the grease basically holds the rollers in place durring installation.
Leaving 2 rollers out will increase the stall speed slightly (most like it that way).
The rollers were sideways from removal of the clutch. It wasn't running that way.
As the motor revs up, the centrifical force forces the rollers out which makes the hub travel on the bushing.
I'm terrible at explaining. Hope that helps.

LT80 you are a legend, do i need to remove opposite rollers or any two, can you explain what you mean by stall speed sorry.
Thanks again
