Jim,
On a YFZ you know how you can convert it to kick start? Well long story short a friend of mine shipped a gear for that when he sold his tranny. Can you get the gear that goes on the tranny from yamaha by friday along with the seal for it? We got a race this weekend. Or do you happen to have a YFZ starter laying around the shop that he could buy? Sorry this is last minute, he is not the brightest kid.
