get the front wheel ballanced

This could be the clutch switch: 1. Check the wires to make sure they are plugged firmly into the switch. 2. Use a voltmeter to check that resistance through the switch goes to zero when the clutch handle is pulled in. If you have replaced the clutch switch with a fuse....check that the fuse is good and the blades are not corroded.

Since plug 1 and 4 fire at the same time, and 2 and 3 fire at the same time, 180 degrees apart from each other, the terminals can go on either side. The wiring harness should fall into a 'natural' or 'memorized' position, so just plug them in their 'memorized' position. If you get them backwards, it will still work fine.

you need to replace your break pads or create distance between your pads and wheels

spark plugs

if the bike does not turn over as you describe clean the switch on the clutch and side stand as these can stick which will not allow the bike to turn over.

I take it you mean the rear caliper pin, firstly i would make sure i had pushed home the caliper pistons all the way, this would give you more room inbetween the pads to grip the pin with a small pair of mole grips and work it back and to to free it off, be carefull not to break it and check as you try to move it if the pin is moving on both ends, you could try using a hat air gun over the end that is siezed, try tapping it inwards gentely,

First remove the wheel, by removing the brake calipers on both sides, removing the pinch bolts from the forks and remove the wheel spindle, when wheel is removed, deflate the tyre by removing the valve core, then you will have to break the tyre away from the wheel, push down on the tyre close to the rim until it breaks the beade, repeat this on both sides of The wheel, next using some levers to remove the tyre place 1lever between the wheel just inside the tyre with the valve about 3inches to the right working away from valve place in another lever about two inches away from the other1 just inside the tyre again and push down on the lever pulling the tyre overthe wheel, keep doing this all around the wheel untill the tyre o emoved

This is a problem with gearbox and will require a gearbox rebuild.

Check that your wheel is aligned and you tension is good. A chain should last longer then 6k unless you rode it hard.

What about your carb, fuel filter and air filter?

10W/40 fully synthetic 4-stroke engine oil for all high performance sports bikes, super bikes and production racers

You need a wiring diagram for a 99 and compare with the 91 and trace the power for each circuit.

this could be a couple of different things bent or broken shifht forks to linkage to a pawl adjustment

You can see a diagram for your bike. Please rate my answer. Thanks

that is because oil gets cool............there will be no problem when oil is normal..........nothin to worry about this........keep reving your engine

If your changing to Pads and not putting the old ones back in, use WD40 on the pin and let it soak in. I normally rotate the pin with some plyers and then work it's way out. Make sure you soak the pin with WD40 and let it sit for aa fir while so it has time to soak in

Sounds the pilot passages and or the needl jet air passages are blocked on the carb for that cylinder that is not fireing. The carb should be removed from the bike and disassembled and dipped in carb cleaner. What I think works best for cleaning carb is Yamaha's Carb Dip I mix it 50/50 with warm water. All the rubber parts must be removed as they will be swell and be damaged by the dip. After you dip the carb will need to verify all passages with spray carb clean to make sure the fluid will make it through the intended passage.

I'm assuming that it has been sitting for a while and now it's stuck. Do you have oil in the reservoir? Pressing the brake lever should be able to force the piston out with no problems. Otherwise, try to get the seal out from around the piston, and spray some anti rust lubricant and let it soak.
