You might try these guys, I've had good luck with them on Mikuni stuff Jay Carburetor Parts Warehouse 4207 Ridge Rd. Cleveland, Ohio 44144 (216) 635-1099

Streaks and Marc, I see the issue now, obviously the common denominator is that Eric Gore big bore kit. Just send me your kit, and I'll send you back my stock parts. Problem Solved!

You mentioned the clutch so I assume you've already been looking at it, but certainly in 5th gear you are putting the highest torque (relative to rear tire load) though the clutch. I think, if you haven't already I'd focus all my attention there (maybe add a plate to the stack and see what happens).

Pit and George, Thanks, I'll give Parma Dave a try, my pipes aren't nearly that bad, just pinched off and dented a bit. Both my PC pipes are the works models, which are also a pain to keep from rusting. I'll just keep my eye on ebay and craigslist for a decent deal on a platinum 2. Jay

Who is everyone using to get thier pipes fixed? I've got a couple beat up Pro Circuit pipes from my YZ250 to straighten. I've sent them once to Pacific Coast with good results, but since this seems to be becoming such a common occurance, I was hoping to find someone closer with less shipping...

Lots of different era's here, Pustalak and Robinson were mentioned, so we also get Al Pizzano(sp?) in there too and both of the Hand brothers. I also was a Yankee Lake the day Jeff Hicks was there. I remember watching him endo trying to double the two large single jumps just after the start...

Ditto to most all the stuff mentioned so far, the only thing I do that I haven't seen mentioned yet is I've always used powdered graphite in the throttle tube. The other thing is I don't ride in mud very often, it gets my skirt dirty...

I was hoping I'd find out that the recovery could be accelerated, but so far the Therapist is saying 4 - 6 weeks of passive motion before I start doing any load bearing. I think he is just quoting standard protocols though. I'll also see what the doctor has to say, I go for my follow-up on the 31st.

I seem to have gotten off easy. They didn't have to do a complete re-atachment. What I did have was three pieces of calcified ligaments (tick tac size) that floated around and did quite a bit of damage. Surgeon indicated that I'll probably need a joint replacement later in life, but for right...

Ha.. I like the the "dull ache but tolerable" description better than the "pain was terrible". I vote for the dull ache Jay

Hey firedan, you beat me to it. My surgery was scheduled for the 6th, and got pushed back to the 16th. Even thats not for sure (a couple of issues with my pre-op testing). Best of luck with your recover, I'll post again once I find out how mine turn turns out.

25 years ago, because I didn't think I could support a family and still ride without a better wage, I quit my plant job to go back to school for Mechanical Engineering . There are plenty of other routes people take, but this one has worked for me so far. The skills you pick up from racing and...

This really is a great forum. Thanks very much to everyone who took the time to weigh in. Rae Lynn, good luck with your recovery, Firedan, I hope your surgery goes well. Mine is scheduled for January 6th. Jay

So my situation is… I’m a plus 40 senior rider that just had an MRI come back indicating a 80% tear in my rotator cuff. I’m looking into surgery, but the recovery period (6 months) seems awfully long. I’m guessing there are at least a few out there that have been through this, and my question is...
