that will work. i usually use a long bolt and fender washer or a few and tighten the bolt to press it in if i cant get it int he press (most of the time). did this on my aluminum grom swingarm last year. (had rubber bushings prior)

to answer your question, no, as long as they are a tight fit. 

yes, i do have them, thanks for sending. Im going to leave it stock i think. buzzed around on it last night a bit, its just silly fun.

i dont know. i got it with a bunch or parts years ago, was relatively heavy fiberglass unit. neat tank though. Lined it and never had an issue. Made a strap to mount it though, was kind of a PIA.

no.. the tumblers are worn out. they can be repaired but its... tricky at BEST if you arent familiar with it. 

interestingly, this jut got posted on FB by allen tucker. hadnt seen this pic before, but the yellow bike in the pic was basically 'V1" of the lightweight bike , a modded stock frame i built out of spares. I think it was about 35-40 lbs lighter than than a stocker. left to right: cody, me, pete. 2010

please send me a PM. Some i know who you are, others not sure as paypal doesn't give user names.  thanks! And, as always, very much appreciated.  -Mark

You need the Yamaha float level spec for the 400 in that year.

.. he has VM34's on it. that probably wont help him.

picked this one up about 1 year ago, was sitting in somebodys dirty garage, budyd of mine scouted it for me and snagged it. It got dubbed the mini banana. lol.

i did do a repaint of the tank and sidecovers and replace the decals (from diablo cycles, yes they had them)



it is an absolute hoot. I ported it a tiny bit and will hit 60 in it, book rates it at 54mph max speed. even have chambers but they actually hurt the top end but helped the mid.  either way, its a lot of fun. and.. it actually doesnt do too bad 2 up. (i tested it with the -tiny- GF, we actually hit 50mph on it, to my surprise)

tiniest carbs.. vm16s
(heres one next to a t500 vm32)







as i got it:

ITS SUPER COOL, there was a run of G3 'gap' builds, john def won with a -mostly- stock motor except that cyl....    it is a cool little runner.

great to see the forum is back, and with some new emojis even! haha 

i have more, just need to upload em.

 

thanks, Danny did a hell of a job on that frame.

I used a trail tech endurance. some of the models can be powered by AC voltage, or DC. I needed that because all the power on that bike is AC, because, wiring and junk is heavy.  its really good, and it automatically backlights when the bike runs.

.. says the guy that ran stingers on his H2 for 2 years. 

I don't know to be honest. I reached out on FB, Linked in, had 2 emails.. nothing, just, ghosted. I never met him or even talked to him on the phone. so?  I hope hes ok. maybe he just has life stuff going on. beats me. I really don't know.
