Title: I am sooo stupid! ( formerly 99 and 4 gears)
Post by Wolf on 04/07/09 at 07:10:18

I have a '99 and have 1 down 3 up? How many gears should I have.... and how can I match the engine to the title? (meaning ... is this another engine.... thus older). I haven't gotten into the engine yet (soon), but now nervous I have a real project vrs a simple rebuild...

Wolf :-?

Something doesn't sound right!

The engine number should be on the title.
The engine is a '94 or earlier.
If the engine is of US origin, then '88 or earlier.

Only CA titles have engine numbers. The whole rest of the country (I dunno of another state that is like CA) has titles with just Frame number.
Cool.

My friend just bought a '95 and the seller told him it was a 4 speed. its not. 4-5 is a tricky shift sometimes. You can hit a false nuetral or it just wont shift sometimes. I let the clutch out just a wee bit while pressing up on the shifter from 4-5 and it pops right into 5th.

Is not the case marked with the # of gears and pattern. Max

Well, Thanks for the replies... needless to say, the title in FL list year of make and ID#. It shifts 4 speed and my new made for a '99 Raask dargpipe, well... it won't fit. It is too shallow (exhaust port) for the muffler...
>:( I got the factory muffler and muffler bracket off easy enough.... for the first time it took a lil' longer looking for nuts, bolts and Clymers hehe

I gots a mutt!

Oh. I took apart both seats and swapped the received pad and cover to my seat pan... a weeeee tight as mine was a full 2 inches wider and the shape deeper... it is together and will pass for a factory save 2 wee ripples... It looks good and with the Raask... oops >:(

I have the K&N filter and was about to rip apart my air box.... well, the engine is getting pulled apart as I have on order jetsets and such... don't want the wrong items shipped... this sucks...

Oh well, "Buyer Beware"

... is there much difference between a '96 and a '99 (engines that is)?

Thanks

Wolf :'(

I... AM SOOOOO STUPID!

Sivert did a wonderful job! ... and the 60mm dragpipe just needs to be torque and final tightening.

After a double and a wee something! cough cough... :-X

I took another look,,, and it just ... drift... came to me how it is assembled, I had taken off the Suzuki muffler support rig .... doh :-?
... it still is currently a 4 spead/ or at least no function "gear" somewhere... so I guess I need to look at the tranny soon. I also noticed how "white" my exhaust ports were... so I guess that is next...
... off to get me a torque wrench!

So.. I will aptly rename this thread to "I am so stupid"

I have taken pictures so I will pop back to the bobber chopper thread.

(I'll attach hear later the thread)

Wo;f :-[

A '96 is a 5 speed. Read Max's post again. You should be able to tell by looking.
