THUNDERACE BOTTOM END (CRANKCASE COMPONENTS) CHECKLIST

I have a haynes and Yamaha manual but I'm trying to create a check list of Crankcase or bottom end components

HY-VO (Primary) Chain

It states in the haynes manual to install this on the crank the right way around.

Does the blue stripe mean anything?

Hi Chris,

Yeah the "Y" marks do point to the left side of the engine.

I've taken a pic of the J. that are on the rod caps, so do they mean that, that rod should be installed on journal #1 etc. and if it has 2 dots that's for journal #2 etc.

Or should I just ignore the J. marks and measure the ...

Mnaged to get this out, the only way was to insert a wood screw into it and pull (very hard) with a pair of mole grips.

The wire had snapped anyway so I wasnt bothered how this came out.

I've never had one stuck in like this, they normally just sort of wiggle out as you say

Cheers guys, I'm a couple of months from buying a front end (thats if I decide to go down that route) but I'm always confused why people sell just the bottom yolk and not the both top and bottom together, am I missing something?
