    Resealed the thermostat , pulled the front sprocket , removed the rear wheel to clean off the crud , dropped the oil , pulled the clutch cover , drank beer and JW.

    If anyone has a clutch cover gasket (3YX-15462-00) laying around , let me know.

    @Murdo ... who is the Yam dealer now in our fine city?

    Hey Mr Grey
    I purchased a tube of threebond gasket......something. Ideal for everything bar fuel, alas I left @kiffsta place last week.
    Think it could get you out of trouble.

    Good question Grey. Think we may have to wait and see who takes up the franchise.

    Now heres where the usual 'previous owner' syndrome rears its ugly head

    The pressure plate wasn't aligned with the markers but heres the mystery ....

    top plates are from the spare motor , bottom from the running bike

    clutch plates 1.jpg


    Looking closely at the bottom set off the running bike we have this different setup ..... and no thats not dirty oil on the steels that's cooked steel.......and yes changing/finding gears was crap

    the question is ...... wats the right setup?

    clutch plates 2.jpg

    From the spare motor ..... skinny fibre plate at the back

    clutch plates 3.jpg



    Gotta love new bits ..... ready for an oil bath

    I don't know if it matters that much, but if the book says to put the skinny plate and ring in the middle then that is what I would do.
    As to the clutch basket wear, I would put it in vice and file until smooth without taking any more than necessary off. If you leave the ridges the clutch will drag and you will be unable to select neutral.

    Drop it around to Dr Murdo and ask him nicely if he will weld it up and repair it for you.
    I am sure with the appropriate compensation he will gladly solve your problems.

    Two more cents:
    Loctite pipe sealant is the best thing to use on those pipe threads by the way.
    As for gasket surfaces, I never use anything other than grease on a gasket unless the surfaces are damaged then I will use Loctite Master Gasket 515 (I think there is a new number now).
    Threebond is for crankcase seals with no gasket.

    I am having gaskets made for my 400 by a British bloke who is making a little business with some high tech equipment. He is an engineer and knows his stuff. I told him about the 250 forum and suggested that he make all the gaskets for the 250's and he was quite positive about that.
    cheers
