Are mj50 Towny kick start shafts the same as qt50s? Thanks for the help!
Mj50
Re: Mj50
Kick start shaft is on the left (ignition) side of the engine right?
If yes, I think thats a safe assumption as the right(transmission) side is where all the big changes exist.
Also, QT50 shares nearly the whole engine with the PW50, so look for those too. (edited)
Re: Mj50
I would imagine so. I’m not inclined to pull mine apart just to find out. I would check the part numbers to see. Are the splines bad?
Re: Mj50
I believe it has the same rear gear ratio as the pw50, which is different from the qt50.
Re: Mj50
Nice, New London, isn’t that near Hannibal? We ain’t too far apart, I’m in Columbia and have a QT50 and an LC50G. Not positive on that kickstart shaft, but you’ve come to the right place for answers/ideas. 👍🏼🍻
Re: Mj50
Also you can get exploded diagrams of all of these bikes, and check the part numbers against one another.
Here's one site with the Towny images p/ns: https://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-mj5oj-usa_model11316/partslist/#.YoFuBOjMIuW
Re: Mj50
If you were near Cincinnati I would let you pull the parts you need from my parts towny
Re: Mj50
Very close as it's brother qt 50, there is small differences.
Re: Mj50
Man this is one funky looking bike. I can't decide if I love it or hate it. Good luck getting he back on the road.
Re: Mj50
OP, How does your frame look? Mine tried to break in half where the front tube is inserted into the rear section.
