[QUOTE="bscottr, post: 274197, member: 24946"] [b]Another Ride Report[/b] AZ, I believe you'll be glad you did if your YZ shifts like my KX did. I rode nearly 40 miles yesterday, most of it in a lot of tight stuff where I used 1st and 2nd often. The shifts were very much improved, nothing like prior to the modification. Before I needed to use the clutch and really needed to concentrate on making a very firm shift into 2nd. Not anymore, I can now shift without the clutch and it feels just like the shifting from 2nd on up. Except now that's even better with the polishing. If you make the mod, I recommend that you polish all the contacting points of the shift star and the contacting points of the shift shaft and shift pawl. The nice thing is you don’t need to split the cases to do it and you can do it in less than two hours, assuming the YZ is like the KX. Of course if you polish the shift drum/forks, that’s a different story. Keep me posted and drop me a line if I can help. Again, the directions you posted were outstanding, but note in a later post the fellow says he may have gotten happy with the file. Concentrate more on the shape than the height. The height will be decreased, but only enough to accommodate the shape of the slope. Good luck! Thanks Again, Scott [/QUOTE]
