Does anyone know whether Yamaha ever published a manual for rebuilding crankshafts(2-stroke twins in particular)? I know Kawasaki did. The one from Kaw has PN #'s for the various special tools and jigs. any reference on crank rebuilding from any source would be helpful. Thanks

Thanks liquidcooled, I'll check that site out. I've been interested in learning to rebuild cranks since I have some of the equipment needed in my home shop(hydraulic press, trueing stand, oxy/acet outfit). Anyone else have any ideas please respond. Thanks

one called

Yamaha special tools and service manual

printed @ 76 time

i have a copy but i wouldnt say it actually

tells you how to build cranks anymore than the Kwak book does

i can copy the relevant pages for you if you wish

i know CMM magazine in teh UK are doing something soon on the subject but there is no substitute for getting stuck in im afraid

yamguru, I would be interested in the pages pertaining to cranks, if not a lot of trouble. I would also like a copy of the front cover to the manual you reference. How would you want to send this info? Are you in the states or overseas?
