Avg price for rebuild

Well yea when the cases are split the bearings would def get replaced.

You also need a special tool to pull the new crank into the case halves but its pretty easy to make one with a piece of pipe and some big washers.
Oh yeah and be careful when you split the cases there is a little steel ball berring that will fall out make sure you dont loose it, it goes between the two clutch rods. but over all its not that difficult of a rebuild just get a clymars shop manual and take your time and follow the instructions step by step
there is also a link to the yamaha mechanics manual on here somewhere its in a pdf format but I think the instructions in the clymars are more detailed
Good luck

Well regal81455 offered to rebuild the bottom for me for 120 bucks with me supplying the parts. I don't think thats too bad so I might go with that.

Well after work I got the motor out and the top end off. I was looking through the clymers manual and I think Im gonna try this myself. I'll be asking questions but I think I can handle it.
Wish me luck!

thats good that u are going to try it your self post some pics when u start to tear into it ..

 

[blaster20001]

ya like they said just get a manuel its not that bad to rebuild them

 

[Busted Warrior]

What did everybody use to split the cases? Did you rent a tool or just use a steering wheel puller?

 

[hickskateboarder]

screwdriver and hammer just be careful

 

[blaster20001]

i didnt have to use a screw driver i just used a rubber hammer and hit it soft

Well I split the cases today went reeeaaalll easy. Didn't have to even get a screwdriver out. just tapped it once and they split. Then my day went to sh*t. When I was inspecting the cases I found this little gem,

So What are my options? Im leaning towards getting a new left side case. Thats why it was burning oil like crazy!!

 

[blaster20001]

u could have it welded if u wanted or u could get a new case

 

[Busted Warrior]

Ok well when I put the cases back together I am going to put yamabond on them but do I put on alot or just skim coat them? I don't want them to leak. Also do I let it set up or just put it on each case and then put them together?
Thanks

 

[blaster20001]

u dont goop it it tells u how much to apply and i believe u wait like 1 min then assemble

 

[Busted Warrior]

Alright thanks I was gonna put a good bead on there.=))

 

[blaster20001]

no prob just so u know honda bond is the same and it whaz 2 bux cheaper lol

 

[Busted Warrior]

Ahh o well I think I only paid like 6 bucks anyway. not to bad I dont think.

 

[blaster20001]

[Busted Warrior]

Yea I hear ya on the budget one thats why I am doing it myself :-D. But damn 13 bucks for some sealant? I would of passed it up too.

 

[blaster20001]

[Busted Warrior]
