I just ran into a new problem... After putting everything back together the I started up and my shift lever was really stiff, hardly wanted to move at all. I pulled back on it as much as I could, went into 1st and nothing. All the gears engaged (except for 4th and 5th since I still have to replace the plate) but the bike doesn't move.... Did I miss something?? I made sure everything went back the way it was supposed to, or so I thought.... Ugh

Running into some problems removing the Countersunk screw from the shift cam. I've got a feeling I may have to use an easy out to get the screw out. I ended up stripping it. Does anyone know if it's left or right threaded?? I attached a picture to show what's going on. I'm going to order a new screw, just need to get the old one out... Also I can't seem to find the pin. I have a new one but don't want the old one resurfacing and causing problems down the road.

I thought a fuse too, all the fuses are intact, I even tried new ones just to eliminate the possibility. The fuse box was replaced before I bought the bike and the wiring has been altered... I'm wondering if something was wired wrong:confused24: I'm going to try and trace it but it's really confusing. I can handle mechanical, but wiring is a whole horse of a different color to me... At least I have hand signals but that does me little good at night so for now I'm trading out for my car before it gets dark...

Well so far one monster taken care of! New starter installed and she's running again. Just waiting for the clutch cover gasket and I'll be all set to take care of shifting problems. I just noticed that on top of my speedometer not working, neither do my brake-lights or turn signals. I have running lights so I'm thinking maybe a relay possibly? Any suggestions?

Well, I got about 15 minutes into the job and at least one of the pins in the shift sector is definitely missing! It's hard to tell from the picture but the retainer has a crack about halfway through and the hold looks a little warped. I didn't bother taking the clutch basket off because I'm afraid if I try to bend the retainer back in place, it will snap off completely. Even though I tried my best not to, it seems that I broke the gasket You guys have been an awesome help so far, my next question would have to be, where to get the gasket and the upgraded sector that Snaggletooth mentioned? Hopefully I'll be back out on the road in the next week to two weeks!

Wow! Thank you everyone, I have a guy willing to help me out for $50 an hour but just these few replies have saved me some cash! I happy to be a part of this community! I'm thinking of rebuilding my starting motor and found this website who also posted on Ebay. Before I decide to purchase, I was hoping to get some feedback. I called my local Yamaha dealer and they wanted $500 for the starter but here is the link to what I found. Do you think this is a good deal? http://www.ebay.com/itm/400503518577?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Thanks again everyone!

I recently bought an 83 and all was fine for the first couple of weeks and I went to take it out the other day and went to shift up into fourth and nothing! Tried a few more times and still the same thing. It's like third is the last gear. I'm fairly new to riding (Ventures) and after scouring the internet I finally came to this site (thankfully) and I'm hoping someone can give me some insight as to what's going on. I'm in the process of changing out the starting motor as well after looking on here. I went to leave work the other day and a couple of guys and I had to push start it so I could get it home! Would very much appreciate and advice in this!
