2nd bike bought
07/09/16 at 02:20:00

bought for 2 up riding or if the Mrs wants to ride her own. It's a 88 with 29k bought for 300 which I thought was decent price. The owner was told the engine needed rebuild cause it's problem was "lagging" and sometimes stalling and could only be run switching petcock to prime.......

So after a new raptor mod and a tensioner clone mod, slip in kn filter in stock air box, paint job and a polish it seems to be running ok. I have to pin down a couple of parts that are rattling ( one was headlight assembly where the light attaches to the light bowl ) there is still another part making some type of vibration after 40 mph.

I am concerned of a loud CLACK noise sometimes on shutdown and wondering if that is caused by the older style starter gear and easily fixed with the upgrade. That and a small backfire on shutdown and the minor noise now coming from a unknown part that needs tight down only issues.

Any help on what else that load clack might be would be appreciated

Some are just louder than others,doesn't affect the way it runs or shuts down just a annoying little noise!

I would have to guess that clack was the one way clutch engaging. The other thing you could do is hold the decomp open. I would do the mod soon as you can.

Same bolt pattern for bolts with washers on the cover from a 88 to 09? How many washers should I have just the one? I know it goes on the limiter gear thing but it's just the one washer or one on both sides of the limiter?

Yes same pattern. limiter gets washer on both sides, otherwise splines may eat up cover/case.

And go stainless steel hardened steel?
