I have a sort of grinding (noise - feel) when starting of on the latest type R1, the bike is a race bike, I also run the slipper clutch with 1 spring plate and had to make a spacer to take up the slack that was created by removing the outher 2 spring plates as the lever would clunk when cogging down, i have the clutch off at the moment and all i can see is some high spots on the steel drive plates,
My question is what is the grinding feel sound and is it ok running the slipper clutch with 1 spring plate and is it common to have high spots on the drive plates,

I have a 2002 YZ125 and it has a hidious problem i cant seem to chase down.
First off ill list the mods.
FMF Gold pipe with shorty - New
Boyesen Rad valve - New
Stock Jetting: 420 Main - 3rd clip on needle
Riding in middle ga.

So i kick this beauty two or three times and away we go. After the engine gets warm...Less than 5 minutes most of the time...She falls flat on her face.
Stumbles like its out of gas, so i reach and grab the choke which helps for a few seconds then it kills over. I kick it like a stray dog for a few minutes and it will fire back up but runs with a bobble before killing over again..

I went through the carb completely soaking and inspecting each and every part in carb dip from auto parts store. Primary jet is clear and all small ports in carb blow through easily with carb spray.
So, what the heck is causing this thing to fall out?Im totally lost.
Please help.

I'm Vic, always have been a Yamaha fan. I started with having a couple of GP1200s and moved into the dry sports :)

I recently had a 07 GSX600 but sold that and moved up into a '10 R1. Loved the bike, except at it's 2500 mile marker it's life was cut a little short. I got broad sided by a 85 y/o man and it destroyed me. So she is sitting in the garage waiting for a rebuild.

I have an IT 250 2 stroke aircooled yami. I'm not to clued up about mechanics but I would love to learn and take on this project rather than take it in to a dealer! Thats why I am here. I have some work to do on it so let the questions begin!

Mechanical

I struggle to get it started by kicking myself to death for about a half an hour, when it does get going, it seems to die in 3rd gear loosing rev's - I suspect a carb problem (38mm Mikuni) --- I would appreciate any input for going about fixing and tuning the carb for best performance, even if you can point me in the right direction with diagrams or where I can download a workshop manual for this bike - Some else looked at the carb and also mentioned that it looks like vacuum pipes are missing off the side??

Other

2 stroke mix ratio in petrol - please advise on this specific bike

Chain tension - how do I know if there is enough tension on the chain and is there a guide or rail it should run on?

Brakes - drum brakes front and rear - there seems to be a metal rod connected to the rear drum brake, it looks a bit bent and runs over the swingarm - the positioning looks correct but again I wonder - does it not have a guide or rail to run on?

General

Where can I buy parts for such an old bike in Gauteng South Africa? The tank is cracked and it has a home made seat, I want to buy new/second hand original parts - also shocks and brakes.

Look forward to your advise ]]> Mechanical / How To Kev IT250 http://www.yamaha-forum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8422
