I Need Everyones help and input..... Please !
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 11:19 am
[Working on putting together a list of To and Not to do list and when it is complete we can get Tyler to put this into the Aritcles Section ? I would also, like to compile a list of clutching setups that people have submitted as a reference or maybe make a Clutching Forum ? Bring on the suggestion.... ! Thanks Chuck S.
-Yamaha Part diagrams
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/parts/home.aspx
-Non working temp gauge (Tylers working on this)
-Thermostat
Either replace your old or remove the spring and plunger to avoid costly repairs. If gutting the thermostat remember Cold Seizure so, allow your engine to come up to temp before running hard !
-Cold hand warmers
Do you self a favor and get a can of expanding weather sealing foam then, drill holes in the end of the hand warmer grips just big enough to insert the cans nozzle then fill your handlebars. This will help retain the heat of the warmers and help deaden any handle bar vibrations !
-Recoil Failures
Make sure the rope is long enough, avoid pulling it out to the end and make sure it engages before pulling the rope.

-Fuel Tank cap hinge and/or tank neck breaking.
Push the catch with one hand and gently close the cap with the other hand.
-Windshield Replacement Do Not Overtighten and crack your new shield, simply tighten the lock nuts until they contact the shroud.
-Handle bar pad replacement Do Not Overtighten and pull the screws on this PLASTIC !
-Finding Rear Suspension Shocks
Search all the following sleds had the original Pro-Action Rear Suspension.

*I always make sure my headlight is off (Down Position) before starting and turning off the Vmax to avoid a surge on the electrical system. ** Hold your hand on the head light cover when releasing the latch to avoid the assembly from being jarred.
-Dimmer Switch
Do Not even bother with the Aftermarket rubber covers, they are nearly impossible to replace and tear easily.

-T.S.S. Maintenance
On every used T.S.S. sled I've bought the Knuckles and steel bushing are almost frozen or completely locked up and pivoting on the bolts ! I've bought sleds that the locked up joints won't even allow the springs to return let, alone the struts to work when hitting a bump. The T.S.S sleds have always gotten a bad rap for slop developing when the ungreased steel bushing's freeze up they grind away on the nylon washers ! I have sleds that are 15+ years old that have never had a bushing kit and are almost as tight as new. Just take the knuckles and the ski mounts apart every other year and grease !

-Off Season Storage
Drain your tank to ~1 gallon of gas, then add Stabil or any other gas stabilizer. Start your sled and allow time for the stabilizer to reach the carbs.

1987-1991 P# 83H-85510-10-00Yamaha changed the charging coil in the stator to a higher output coil, by doing this the secondary coil output went up from 18,000 volts to 28,000 volts ,but you also have to use the 1987-91CDI as well as, it is different to accommodate the higher voltage of the charging coil in the stator.
F.Y.I. Double check P#'s !
