Ive searched and can't seem to find the answer. How much oil do you have to add after doing the cooler mod. I'm planning on drilling my clutch cover and just want to make sure before I go ahead and drill. Just go by the dip stick like normal? I'm worried about getting an air pocket in the lines.
Restored the plastics today, very happy with the result. Sanded from 220 through 2000 then used a rubbing compound/polish. Going to get some decals made for the fenders trying to stay as close to original add possible. Also decided against the rack, although I will hold onto it in case I decide...
After opening it up it will make sense. It takes up the play from the throttle shaft to the accelerator pump shaft.

Old crank being removed.
And a few shots of the (almost) finished project.
Unsure about the rear rack still. I do love to camp and its easy enough to take off because it is ugly, but my grab bar is also pretty banged up and it kind of hides that.

Do newer warrior shocks fit the first gen, how about rebuilding oem? Ive rebuilt fork tubes before don't think it would be much different.
Powder coated the frame today. Will have to put pics up tomorrow as i'm just now getting home from work. New crank should be delivered tomorrow and a-arms and swing arm being powder coated after work. Motor will be split this weekend.
Thanks for the info. What shocks are recomended for rough trails? I don't ride in mud and I like hauling but through trails. I was hoping oem off a different yamaha to keep cost down.
Figures I would start a thread here to keep a log of my rebuild and maybe find a little motivation as well.
I picked up this 87 after doing some electrical work for a friend. Came with a uni filter, Cobra (?) exhuast and jetted to match. This is the only pic i have before i decided to dismantle...
