Ok so i need to bleed the clutch. The bleeder is stripped. It's in the banjo bolt. Do you know where I can either get a bleeder or a new banjo with bleeder?

Btw I love this bike. Rode for a couple hours today.

Maybe you can back bleed it like you can do with brakes.
Twist the handle bars so the master hose is somewhat below the reservoir so air has a good path up and out. Take off the slave cylinder an let it hang down. position the banjo bolt feed up like normal. Tap on the slave cylinder to try to get any bubbles to float up. Take off the master cover. Press the slave cylinder piston all the way in so as to force the fluid and air back into the master reservoir. Fill it up and put it back together.

Thanks. My neighbor said the same thing. When I add freight to the $75, $201.50 for FMF Gnarly nib, including freight, didn't look too bad.

If you have the 2K2 flywheel, I've got a 8 or 9 oz Stealhy FW weight I took off the '01 XC 200. I used a Checkpoint 12 oz.
PM if you're interested.

I don't know what that flywheel is. I assume I would have to pull the stator cover to see!

If the stator wires exit at the 10 o'clock position , it'll fit. (XC or light FW.)
If at 2 o'clock then you have the EC with the heavy FW and it won't fit, nor does it need any more FW.

Even if Hatfield's bike has the light FW, someone may have added a FWW to it sometime in the past. Best to pull the cover and see what's what before spending any money.

Looks like 2 oclock to me.
Also this thing is a tractor I don't want to take anything more away.

yes, that's the 2K3 ignition. Heavier mass and more voltage output than the 2K2. You should pull that cover and see if you have the counterbalancer. It's noticeable behind the "hump" of the cover, right where your wiring enters. Later models still had that hump and the same cover but nothing is there.

I'd say so.
This is my '98 EC250SM with the Ducati Stator and counter balancer.
I am surprised that your '99 has the 2K3 and not the old style Ducati system.
I thought GG changed the stator in 2000.
This is picture of the right side with the gears for the balancer.
If you look close there are two dots in the gears that are supposed to
be aligned. They are not in this picture. Like this the bike vibrated like a paint
mixer. Once aligned it is the smoothed 2-stroke I have ever seen.
Hope this helps. Cheers.

Go to post #15 on the thread below to see a picture of the two wrench configuration. This thread also shows how build a leak down tester to make sure your top end doesn't have any air leaks.
