Should I use lok-tight or no??? Anything I need to know or that will be useful please fill me in... Thanks for everything
First things first, get yourself a service manual. Seriously, that is the first step to educating yourself about your bike.
Second, read this forum for anything relating to 2t bikes in general and read it all! Then, search out other forums and read all the info you can get there as well. Use your head (common sense) to sort out the good info from the BS.
Good luck, wear your gear, and have fun!

I need to the torque specs for my clutch springs??? If im correct i think its 8-11 ft/lbs.... Is it a good idea to use lock tight on the clutch spring bolts???? I understand that a manual would help out alot... but at this day and time its not a priority... Im not a noob by along shot i know my way around a 2 stroke... I was just tryin to get some of what they call Ol' Tymer Knowledge that only comes with age... LOL... So if anybody has any useful or just Common info on my bike please fill me in.... Thanks :laugh:
If getting a manual is not a priority, you have no business putting a wrench to that bike. If you're "not a noob by a long shot", you already know this. No offense, but a manual is a necessity. You wouldn't trust a shop to be working on your bike without a shop manual, so why should you? I suppose you know more than them and have all the torque specs, clearance specs, and service intervals memorized? If so, then what do you need our help for???
For anyone to give you those specs, they would have to look it up for you in THEIR manual. Put the wrench down, back away from the bike, and buy a freakin' manual.

There are plenty of problems/questions/ideas not covered by a shop manual. THAT is what forums are for, not for other people to look up torque specs for you! Perhaps if there's another owner of a 1990 yz125 here he can look up the torque specs for you in the manual HE bought. Probably unlikely....
Seriously, not trying to be hostile. "Buy a service manual" is the best advice you will ever get, period. If you plan on doing your own work, it's not a luxury item, it's a MUST have. It's not like it's a huge cost or something, just do it!

Age has nothing to do with buying a manual. It is cheaper than a new clutch inner pressure, after 1 of those bolt studs snap off. Was that foot pounds or inch pounds? Vintage Bob
