I'd search for an old copy of the factory manual first, IMHO. My experience with Clymer is that they sometimes omit precisely the information you need! Good luck on the search!

No kidding. Just give me the piston size and the clearance. Talk about backwards engineering. I would love to have a factory manual on this older ride.....hint wink or something along that line. Where is my pm 2fat2fly of a factory manual? please

IT would be waaaaay tempting to ask the obvious question: Why don't they make user-friendly, GREAT beginner bikes like these anymore? I think we know the answer...too costly to produce, too many lawyers, additional parts to catalog--spares, not enough return on sales, 2-stroke pollution, blah, blah. Oh the days of simple, (relatively) inexpensive fun..... Hang on to your oldies, guys.
