Hey, as some of you might know... I blew my transmition and stripped my crankshaft. So, I was wondering if it is difficult to install a new one, or should I just take it to Yamaha and let them handle it (at $75 an hour!!)?

It looks as though you need to only replace parts of the set up... Piece number 2 in the 1st pic...

Might not have to replace the whole set up.

Haha, thats a lotta dough for a starving student! Thats a good idea though. If the yamaha quote is huge, I'll just install a malossi race crank. Only problem is, who sells em?!

Ohh Jered, your right... only piece 2 was messed up. Do you think I'll have to take everything apart to replace it?

there is a write up on the yamaha Zuma site... It explained how to open the case up! Seamed like more than I ever care to do!

Here is a basic info page on the crank install! Sounds liek something that could turn difficult quick!

However probably will save a BUNCH of money if you do it yourself!

Well, Yamaha just called and gave me a quote as to how much its gonna be to fix the vino. Good news is, the crank is fine... bad news, I still need $123 in other parts. All together it's gonna be $390 to fix :eek: !!! Shouldn't be suprised though, their charging me $75 an hour..... :(

if you stripped your crank, what "$123 in other parts" could you need???

Some stripped screws (which I think they stripped), finned pully, but the killer was a new kick start assembly.

It's a little late.
I found a great site out of WA to buy OEM parts.
My local dealer didn't want to sell me some individual stuff
I bought a body panal, some screws, and new license bracket from them.
