Stadium Yamaha has the best price on OEM parts I know of.

http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/default.aspx    That's my favorite store for OEM parts. I would look at the rollers/belt/contra, and clutch springs at the same time. I do mine once a year... need them or not. You may also find new clutch shoes are needed, as I doubt anyone has changed them. All those extras won't add up to 75 more bucks.

Stands for contrast spring.  It is the large spring between the torque driver and clutch.

Another good suggestion! If you don't want to get into the guts, you can ask for a quote to install a much better cvt set-up. That's the contra who-izts, and stuff. If you love it now You will be arrested for what you feel after tuning the cvt.

Tuning the cvt will get you to top end much quicker. You may even get some easy wheelies out of it. The idea is to get higher rpm's w/ lighter rollers, and delaying the time for the clutch to lock up. Even if you kept all the stock components, I would suggest changing them at least once a year as these are all parts that wear out w/ use.

Stadium can help you out there too. Just order a set of rollers/sliders (your choice), and ask for a clutch fly spring kit. I think I saw you have 7.5gr. now? w/ all else being stock the 7.5 sliders, and the clutch springs may be the ticket for you. I think I read that you didn't like the 7gr. as they revved too high fro you! The sliders are supposed to respond smoother, and the clutch will allow the engine to rev into the power band before trying to roll. It takes some getting used to but the difference is nite/day.

The stock rollers are 8gr. so the 7's are good, the 6's are better. My opinion. I have to hit 1/2-3/4 throttle to lock up the clutch, but have gotten used to it. Lighter rollers/stiffer springs will increase the rpm's both overall, and at take off. If that is not what you want then just ask for all the OEM replacements, and you will be just as good as new.
