    Need some help with 1983 yt125 rebuild

    So im in the process of fixing up my engine (new seals, bearings, gaskets). I have looked on bike bandit for the seals (already have everything else). Im looking at the crank seals and see 2 types listed. Is one for the wet side ( clutch) and one for dry(flywheel). Also should i put anything on them when putting them in like rtv or such. Already have yamabond 4 for the crankcase.

    There's a clutch holder and flywheel holder when assembling everything. You can use an impact to disassemble. After the rebuild, be sure to do a leak down test. This will confirm there's no air leaks in the motor. Air leak = lean = toasted motor. Leak down test video. You can make a tester for cheap, very cheap. If I recall, the seals are installed dry. You may want to reference the manual.

    So i almost ready to get the yt back together, and it seems i hit another bump. Ive ordered new engine mount dampers, however its looking like the metal part of the damper frkm the old ones is still in there. Anyone got any tip on how to get it out.

    Unless it's worn, I'd clean it and leave it. Im also guessing your talking about the insert into the cases? Those are simply pressed in. You can tap them out.
