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.

Seems people are getting spoiled on all the electric start dirt bikes. The 4rt is still one of the easiest starters.

Just buy the replacement a get back to riding. The one you have made will not do 13 years.

The Ty has two shift shafts. The left side can wear, but there is an adjustment behind the clutch on the other. Check this out. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/54485-ty175c-will-not-shift-past-first-gear/

You actually should have the cylinder measured before you buy anything. And you might get more response in the Montesa forum.

The Yamaha powered Scorpa is a strange bird. It still has a cable type clutch arm with an added slave cylinder. You should probably re post in the Scorpa thread.

That is funny. A tool to tell you to clean your system. On a side note we live on the steps of Hell. No extra H2O around here! I carry water just to make it to the first section! I do agree on the Red Rubber grease. Everything else is not needed if you keep up your bike. But I do have a burnt up rear caliper to pull apart!

No, they are supposed to be the same. That bush looks pretty hammered.

The clutch pack has to be measured to see if it is within specs. If the clutch pull is heavy then you have to check the finger height. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjoj7n74G0s

Yes , as long as they are not damaged. Clean everything well and re-assemble. Do not loose the small o ring between the halves. Of course you have to bleed the system.

Tell the whole story. Was the clutch working when you bought it? What have you done since? When did the problem start?
