yeah..he's blowing smoke for no reason.

then please explain to me, why there is es models for sale on CL's, like 10 to 1 over manual shifts ?, please explain to me, why there is more members that join here with es problems that manual shift models ?, please explain to me..WHERE THE HECK YOU ARE GETTING YOUR LIES FROM ??!...LOL. me thinks..you are trying to stir the fire...and waiting on the boil over ?. surely you can do better than this ?, maybe you better stick with boxing..cuz you sure suck at your model info !..rofl.

i just knew we kept you around here for something ?!..lol.

if you are near a lowes or homedepot ?, they got metric bolts in stock..ya don't have to use a honda/japan bolt !..lol.

ehhh..i was at the lake enjoying my cold beer and jet ski !..lol.

2001 does use the pinion nut. 2002 is when it was taken away.

you could have made a road trip to me, then we could have went to cat fishes bone yard and got ya one !..lol.

gonna say you have air in the lines ?, or..your master cylinder needs to be rebuilt ?.

welcome wojo to the forums.

remove all the shifting parts that are over the end of the shift drum right there in the pics. center punch the rest of the broken bolt still in the end of the shift drum, start with a small drill bit, work your way up to, and as close as the inside of the threaded hole, then run a 6mm ( metric ) tap down the threads of the shift drum end, problem solved.

nice !!. keep this thread updated !!!.

that is a first, i've bought many shindy kits, not one ever came with a float seat..yer's musta be a china knock off ?..lol. you are correct..chances of getting it out without some damage ?..slim to none..lol.

like i said, hammer it with a bar from under the bottom, switch sides on the inner race, it might break apart ?, if it does ?, you still have room to hit the outer race on each side to hammer it up and out.

you better think long and hard about buying a motorcycle made in the 70's ??!..parts WILL NOT be easy or cheap to find !!. what size bike are you looking for ?, i've been tossing the idea of selling my '08 shadow 750 spirit, not selling my magna though !..lol

i seen grooves ?...chances are...THERE IS NO SNAP RING DOWN IN THERE !..hammer that bearing out...get-r-done !.

the seats are pressed in the carb body. i have never seen a new seat anywhere online to replace them with ?. even if i did ?, i'd be weary of trying to get the old seat out ?!..lol.

ya dont need 10 gallons of gear oil to loosen a snap ring !!!..lol.

more than likely the battery is shot. you can not let them sit for months, and not start/ride them !.

trash on float needle or float seat ?, does not take much to keep the float needle from sticking open.

along with fish up yunder ^^^ anything is posb before you got yer hands on it ?. but they will bend, i've seen them break in half !. with the rubber boot out of the way, atv up off the ground ( all 4 tires ). spin the rear wheels, watch the output shaft, if tis bent ?, you will see it wobble.

if the snap ring is not on top of the bearing under the dust seal ?, go from the bottom up, long bar, hammer, beat it up and out of the top. i did not see a snap ring ?, but ..you got it so muddy looking ?, i can't see nuff'n !..lol. DO NOT HIT THE INNER RACE ONLY ON ONE SIDE !!, SWITCH SIDES SO YOU WONT JAM IT IN THERE !.

if the final shaft is bent ?, nothing will stop it from leaking oil.

no, please don't !. if the seal is good ?, and the area is not damaged ?, you do not need anything but a good , new oil seal, that is all you need !.

do yourself a favor, toss that battery tender jr in the trash, buy a battery minder, does the same thing, but also fixes the battery plates !.

looking like some of my work ?!..lol. if it were me at this stage, i would have pulled the steering down, pulled the lower steering bearing out, inspect, grease if still good ?. as well as inspect the rear swing arm bearings. no sense in gong this far, and leave areas out ?!.
