The shaft could be bad. They can get a groove worn into the shaft.

Very strange if it was just in a shop. What kind of work was done. I`d double check the connections, specifically the grounds.

Sounds more a throttle cable issue. You should be able to hear the slide close all the way. It makes a distinct clunk. Not idling can be a blocked pilot circuit. Sounds as though a good carb clean is in order.

6,11 and 23 on page 9.

There is three springs in the shifter linkage. One of them is broke.

This sport is you against yourself. For the most part everyone that is watching would love to see you clean the section. That is why it is 90 % mental.

Swing arm broke. Most Gas Gas riders ( Top) seem to have a few bikes a year.

Yes, they sell more parts. But they also warranty more parts!

Just glancing at this. Without the regulator bolted it might not be grounded!

Usually you would look at the same motor. Rarely does a 4 stroke fit a two stroke.

I have always worn MX pants (I remove all the decals and rubber etc) and knee pads with shin guards. All it takes in one stupid crash. Yesterday a friend crashed his new Repsol on the first section and put the kick starter thru his upper thigh. Just a freak accident.

At worst it is just inside the clutch cover (Kickstart cover) Not inside the cases.

I think you are dreaming at 7 inches of travel. Way to much worry about sag.

Mick was my hero back then. Always hated that he went to Yamaha. Never liked the ty`s except the mono. Got to ride with him finally at a vintage event. Very fun day that was! He was still my hero.

The older models did just unscrew. There is an o ring to be replaced. The later models had a set screw in the thread. Might double check.

Biff that was a great story. I hope I do not step on your toes, but it makes me want to tell mine! After a six year stint in the US Navy, I took up dirt bikes again. I was up getting my trophy at desert race and a trials rider that recognized me invited me to the next event. It was May of 1982 and my friend was on a new Jumbo. I showed up the next weekend and it was a completely new riding area to me. He wanted me to ride his new SWM, but we only had one bike. So I ran section to section all day long. Of course being a sailor stranded at sea for too long, I dragged along my best cans of Coors. In the end he won Expert and I won the next class down.(Which we have always called semi) The other riders were not amused with my casual win. But that day had me hooked again. I always loved my one day ride on a SWM.

You do not need a Yamaha shop. You need a good mechanic. I worked at the oldest Yamaha shop in the USA for years, I do not know a single mechanic there anymore. Which means the new guys have no clue about old bikes! ha

Its because you have a 571yt. Never seen one before, but that left hand kick looks awkward.

You need to read the blog as his bike has some mods that are not original. I have installed lots of Wes products and none needed creative fitting.

Bounce take a look. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/54537-kick-starter-issues-2011-gg-280/

Look like the old Fox Shocks,

The easiest way to start it without fixing anything is to lay it on the side with the bars touching the ground. Just a few seconds will do. When you pick it up, make sure a little fuel did leak out. It should start within two kicks. You never mentioned where you are from. So pilot circuit could be plugged. Or larger jets or the float level fixed. I started doing this years ago to bikes that sat too long. I usually would jump up and down on the bike if it was a newbie and add a few four letter words. It was always a good laugh when the bike would start the first kick after the owner had worn himself out trying to kick it to death.

Nice cover! Where`s the snow? And Glenn what is wrong with the cylinder fins?

It`s best to have a relationship with the closest dealer. If no dealer, I have always dealt with the source. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/how-to-order.html Why pay for shipping twice, this is the USA parts importer.

Because most Honda`s do not have a hydraulic clutch, would be my guess.
