    you may have to dampen the foam with oil and soak out any excess with kitchen roll? not sure...may be in the manual or ask the seller

    not a fan of those filters myself, i would never junk an airbox in preference to one of those, get a proper yamaha filter is what i say (if you need one)

    Greetings viper and it's good to have dad on board eh

    Ahh despite your topic heading 1979 it has now changed to 1980, in that case the carb id is 3U500 As for the oil in the crank? you mean in the gearbox it happened to me once when the seal had popped out of its location in the oil pump drive shaft, you'll have to take off the right hand clutch cover to see (drain oil first) It's not worth considering any other faults until you sort this Have you posted an intro in 'New Members' ?

    bide your time viper and buy the proper ones...they do appear from time to time, your bike is a round section swing arm version? the carb id fot this one is 2H500

    you would be well advised to get one cut steve, then use the cut one and store the pukka one safe with your documents, anywhere near Dukinfield? I use keyfax there

    re the broken stud, I would drill through an m8 nut until it passes over the stud and have it welded across the top, then work it back and forth until it binds gradualy increasing the arc, i have freed many seized bollts this way over the years, if you continue to force the issue when binding starts you will risk shearing it off completely warming the surrounding ally up with a hot air gun wont do any harm either If you did happen to go down this route, disconnect your CDI and generator electricals prior to welding as a precaution apologies if you know this stuff already

    31000, yeah i guess it's time for a rebore then, unless it's had one before

    Hey thats quite nice...a later version different swing arm, ignition, forks, clutch, oil tank, airbox, carb? just like our mk2's...almost
  24. Airhead
    Ahh yes i remember seeing them before
  25. Airhead
    at best it could just be your technique...you are new to the bike. Usually full choke and none to very little throttle is what's required At worst it could be down on compression and would need a compression test to verify...i expect this may be a bit out of reach for you at the moment though...how many miles has she done?
