So this is odd.

thanks sicivic, thats what i meant, the spring and washer are internal, meaning there not outside by the shifter but internal under the clutch cover. i didnt read fully the part about the cases. also, what is the boss thats in the shift shaft in the second pic but not in the first?

It's actually the 3-6th gear clutch fork shaft (the one that has two forks riding along it!) that sticks through the right side case half for the shifter spring to "center" itself on. Ingenius design by yamaha to make that shaft extra long and then position a spring around it.

In the first pic you posted, the shaft is there but the shifter has "popped out" away from it and is hiding it behind the shifter pawl plate. In the second pic the shift shaft is in place and the spring is fit around the end of the shaft.

thanks man, i didnt remember seeing that when i was in there last. thats why i thought it looked off.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I really appreciate it. I've been pricing a Flywheel on eBay. Can the shop bore the cyl w/o having a piston as a guideline?? Or will they bore it to a specific size? The place I work for deals with real tight tolerances like .003" when honing so hopefully they can guarantee their work

You're much better off to have the piston in hand when getting it bored. You don't want to have a situation where is a piston is "supposed" to be a certain size. Better to match it perfectly to begin with.
