My max was only 83-85 downhill. I had stock rear wheel gear (i forget) and the 17 sproket front.

That seems to be my take on it. I know I use to drive it that way, sometimes I would adjust the idle at stop lights. Most of the time it would drop as soon as you drop it into 2nd gear, and slowing down a little bit more (engine braking). I think the rule of thumb I used the most, is...

I took my coils into a yamaha mc shop, and had them bench test the coils. Mine surpassed spec. That is the most idiot proof way of getting coils. (determine that yours are fine) I believe the mech stated he hadn't seen a spark that strong. I heard it in the other room. Quite shocking. i...

Foot pedal sensor is on the frame, near the behind the foot pedal. (at end of the solid wire) adj by big plastic nut. (at least on the 81.)

The biggest reason for stripped bolts, are because no one has the right screw drivers. Order your self some JIS style screw driver bits. Good luck with you current bolt. seems like we all have fought this problem.

if you go to the website that makes them, they will list off the gears they make for each model.(I don't remember, but I remember using ebay to get the link to the manufacture, (I am sure a quick search will find the same info.)

Yes, start with the split case procedues, you can leave your head alone. (I would recommend to reset the cam chain tensioner) My first time, I undid everthing, leaving the head alone, and carefully placed in a wet/dry vac tub (it had wheels, and a blanket protecting it. So that was both sides...

Stator, to diode, to safety relay, handle bar switch to headlight. Pending which version of bike, that is the path of the So their is a plastic block that might have been put together with a missed connection. Which is in the headlight bucket. (follow the handle bar wire bundle.) Make sure...
