  1. I would leave it alone. That tab helps to keep it in place from your boots tugging on it.
  2. Sounds like you are missing the exhaust guard that was mounted to it.
  3. You `re a glutton for punishment! Good luck.
  4. Actually heffergm, ask about the original Jack. He had the first light spring made for the Pro clutch.
  5. I waited and no replies. Depends on elevation, but one step bigger pilot might work.
  6. MRS445001213 9 tooth straight from the GAS Gas parts book. Now to find one!
  7. You would need custom made spokes, just on the hub side. It can be done. Just won`t be very cheap. You could use the stock Yamaha spokes on almost any Excel 36 hole rims or the old style tubeless 36 hole from a gas gas, etc.

    Rusty Rotors

    The Aprilia had the chain on the rh side. Looks like they flipped the tire around and flipped the swingarm upside down.

    Rusty Rotors

    Just clean up the rust, but that caliper sure looks funny upside down!
  10. Heat the brakes good by running up and down the street with the brake on. Throw a bucket of water on the caliper. If done right, they should steam. And I`m not joking.
  11. Digger has the right idea. Just like a hydraulic clutch on a car. Remove the whole assembly. Hang the caliper at the top. Forget the hardware, push the piston with a Phillips screwdriver. Best if you had a meter of clear hosed attached to the bleeder held above the caliper to watch the progress. Good luck. Ps. put something between the pads to simulate the disc.
  12. You have to remove the dust seal and then the clip underneath. Put the lower leg in a vice and it will pull apart, but it takes a lot of force. PS. Screw the cap back on to do this, but just finger tight.
  13. Do you have free play at the lever? You must have a loose feeling between the lever and master cylinder. At 10mm it should not slip. Are you using a proper gasket? You cannot just use silicone for a gasket.

  15. I`m old school, no shield. I think some smoker hater came up with the shield idea.
  16. They need to include a half dozen with every new bike. 3 for the front 3 for the back. If we have to suffer with this crap, the manufactures should be up front about this.
  17. The 7mm head was the upgrade. Originally they had 3mm allen heads which had to be knocked loose with a chisel. You could of saved all that sanding just by burning that clutch in. Fourth gear against a tree and give her hell. Test, and give it another good burn. 5 minute job. Some of us have been doing this for thirteen years. Nothing new.
  18. Getting up this ledge requires a good quick clutch. This bike has always had the gm auto trak 2 in it since new. 12 years and the engine has never been touched. Almost a record for a Pro motor.

    2001 Rev 3 Manual

    They changed the color, the frame geometry, and the air box. And maybe the CDI. Which means almost nothing in the manual. 2004 had the most changes for the Rev 3`s
  20. Actually the factory came up with ATF. Jim and Dale were using GM auto trac 2, the blue stuff at 15 bucks a quart. Which worked better than anything. Then all of a sudden it was ATF only. That 75 wt makes the clutch lethargic. Trials riders have used atf for decades. Just wait till you actually have to work on this beast!
  21. Pretty simple, 75wt will lube it fine. But ATF will make the clutch work. Remember to change often as it`s the transmission oil on the Pro that lubes the mains. Not the two stroke mix.
  22. The 300 sounds like a street bike. Just quit doing wheelies and nobody would look.
  23. The clamps are re-usable time and again. The gassers have been pushing coolant since `94.
  24. The little black circle just pops out from the front, but could break the tab due to age. Sounds like a cracked frame. Had a 2002 with several.
  25. Some Showa`s died along the way. Hard to get a replacement bladder etc. No telling what previous owners could of done.
