for whatever reason this model doesn't have a push rod. Mark

New cable, lever and perch, fiber plates, steel plates, springs. the lever/cable mechanisms seem to be working as normal. I take it apart and slide the rack gear(?) into the pinion(?) and move the cable and it pulls out the pressure plate. the problem that started this all was the...

I did put a new after market lever/perch compared to what the bike previously had the angles and the pivot point look to me identical. unfortunately the old lever is trashed. I've adjusted the free play exactly how the manual tells me to and even variations. talonrunner, you think I...

got the new tusk clutch kit with steels and friction plates, looks exactly the same as the old new clutch and measures the same and no surprise has trouble dis engaging the same. the package said to remove stock components, not sure what but I set it up removing what I thought they...

New tusk clutch will be here Friday. bear creek anyone?

after zeroing my calipers (I'm a few beers in) I'm reading 33m. wonder if 3 mm would make that much if a difference?

that's about what I'm getting. is it possible that I just have a super grabby clutch? I took the pressure off while spinning the wheel, took one finger and pressed it against the clutch pack and instant resistance change both hub and basket tried to rotate. I really appreciate...

you might be onto something. unfortunately I through the old plates out. the ebayer I purchased the clutch from thinks it's something else and not his cheap product. I guess it's my fault for buying cheap. I do have the factory manual but it only gives me the minimum thicknesses. was...

1994 RM, new cable, New friction plates, New steel plates, soaked in oil 24 hours, installed per factory manual started with 80 weight oil now using 10 w 40 and making no difference. I've adjusted the cable every possible way I know. I've warmed the motor up gently and I've rung...

I like your first 2 options. I can't let myself do the 3rd and I'll keep you in mind on the 4th. now as I understand only the 92-95 cranks are compatable? 2 cranks just popped up on the eBay. one looks better then the other but they are from a 92 and a 95. mine is fine other...

Trying to fix up a 94 rm 125 with bad threads and splines on the crank. It looks like no one makes a replacement and the best i can find is an OEM for almost $400. am i just screwed on this bike. I know i can find a used one on ebay from $100- $200 but who knows what the condition of the...

great advice, thanks fellas. unfortunately the captain put the x on me riding Wednesday but we will be there for a little while as a spectators my 2 year old daughter loves motorcycles. well 2 strokes freak her out,a little loud for her I guess. got permission to trail ride clear fork in...

I appreciate the pointers. I come from the surfing world where the attitude is “less people in thewater is better”. I think some guys justdon’t like to learn or already know it all. Thanks for the encouragement. Provided the Captain lets me ride, ill shouldbe out Wednesday testing the Pee...
