Ok, here's the scoop. First the boost bottle is not needed to run.But you will want to cap the hole in the intake!
Now, about the clutch cover deal. Firstly, the other part you are referring too is an external kick start assembly Yamaha added to the YZ engine to make it kick forward instead of backward in the Tri-Z. That will be a little difficult to find but they do show up on ebay occasionally.
You can use the YZ clutch cover, however you will need to change out the Tri-Z kicker gear assembly to one from a YZ as well. This will work fine, but kick backwards.
The Tri-Z clutch cover is still available from Yamaha for around $100 if you find the external kicker gear assembly. Use Bike bandit to make sure all of your internal kicker gear assembly is there, including the thrust washers! 86 YZ clutch cover will fit, if you convert to YZ kicker shaft.

So will the tri-z Run better with the boost bottel on it??? becuse i may be doing the phase 1 wrench report to it....or 2 if i can figure out what pipe i have...dont look stock thats for sure!

The boost bottle makes a big difference in the low end part of the power band.

If you need part numbers and a break down of the assembly let me know.
