I wasn't so lucky, as clutches came together for a bonding experience, and the jackshaft ground into the bearing flanges. If you look inside the shaft there’s a pretty long rusty separation line. Must have been a manufacturer defect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awful knawful Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Owning a two stroke without warranty is foolish now. When they go usually the engine is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reasons prices have soared. People want warranties on these EPA nightmares....and they are gonna pay for them on top of retail. When companies started adding 3-4 year warranties, prices jumped. Warranties sell very well in a sport where fewer and fewer know anything about their machine....much less have the tools to work on them.

I replaced pucks and pins I believe without any special tools but it’s been years.
