flywheel

So don't know what's up. Just rebuilt the carbs if that has anything to do with anything. I turn on the ignition, flip the kill switch to RUN, listen for the fuel pump and v-boost system to complete, and choke the carbs. i then press the START button and grinding, clickity, kih-kih-kih-kih...

i need a flywheel with a starter clutch for a 91 max have parts to trade from 85 max w 9000 miles clutch pickup coil u joint assembly w drive gear rack of carbs from 91

There has been a few threads about pulling flywheels and trouble associated with it and I think I might be able to help. The puller I made, so far has worked easily without any problems .The design is different from the normal type and that is why I think it works. Maybe I just got lucky with...

Tried getting my flywheel off today and unfortunately had some setbacks: 1. first puller i tried cracked in half 2. second puller i tried nothing happened. banged on it TONS of times with my mini sledge, nothing. 3. went to autozone and got their puller as i read some have had luck with...

Looks like we are now offering crankshaft repair, stroking, and balancing. Also can lighten and balance flywheels. The crank repair isn't something I would normally do but if you have a spun bearing crank (and the block is good) we could stroke the crank 2mm and balance it at the same time...

Hey guys I changed the oil last weekend and noticed that the bottom of the flywheel cover was leaking oil. It is not enough to leave more than a drop or two on my garage floor when she's sitting for a couple nights, but I would like to eliminate it. I put a new gasket on the cover when I...

Hey Everyone Would an 86 Venture flywheel be lighter than a 85-92 Max? Can they be swapped? If they can be swapped, which one would work better in a 1327 venture motor with max ported heads and Max cams going into a Max frame? I'll be using a venture transmission. thanks Dennis

Well my friends I gotta tell ya this is one of the toughest flywheel removals EVER!! I used everything, engine on its side, (flywheel up) penetrating oil, lots of heat, a 550 inch lb gun, voodoo...Nothing. I broke my dead blow hammer. I sat back and stared at this thing, fantasizing about...

Man that flywheel is being a BEOOOCH!! I used a dead blow hammer, impact, penetrating oil, and heat. No go! back at it again tomorrow.

Has anyone on the forum lightened their Vmax flywheel? If so what do you think about it... Pro or Con... Thanks Scooter

Is there any other way to remove the flywheel other than using a puller with bolts into the threaded holes on the flywheel? There is a broken bolt in one of mine, so i can't use my standard puller.

So one of the flywheel cover bolts apparently shook its way out. need to find where to get one. do i need to go to Yamaha or is there a standard list of which bolts fit what, and where i can get them. does anyone have any experience with the ebay sellers? how complete are their engine bolt...

other than using the yamaha sheave to help remove it, is there any other way? and if the starter clutch wiggles around (some play in it) is that a indication its bad or the woodruff key is bad?

Does anyone have a spare stock flywheel or know of any Vmaxs being parted out that I could nab one off of? Bike shop has had my bike since tuesday and they can't even get it off, they tell me they are going to have to cut if off in order to replace the starter clutch so I need another one.

Anyone know what size wrench the hex-nut shaped part of the fly wheel takes? Manual tells me use and adjustable spanner but I hate useing those. They don't grip properly and usually wnd up tearing the **** out of what I'm trying to remove.

How important is this to keep in place? I took off my flywheel a while ago and reinstalled but can't remember if i put this back or not.

I asked the question about the PIAA driving lights earlier and the general consensus is that the electrical system can't handle the extra wattage. Is it possible to install a stronger stator or heavier flywheel? I've heard about this being done for dirt bikes but didn't know if it was...
