Countershaft Sprocket Replacement
Guys, I learned my Vento's countershaft sprocket is worn and need to be replaced. I stopped by Yamaha dealership and asked about the sprocket. They don't have it but will order as soon as I pay the half ($13) and will get it by next week. I read Soud's thread "Zongshen Sierra 200GY-2 Countershaft Sprocket Replacement" but not sure if the Yamaha c. sprocket is the same as the PBI sprocket Spud used . I wonder if the Yamaha's sprocket will fit the Vento's countershaft.

I believe them to be identical. I'm using a PBI on my Yamaha.

Yes, you can use the Yamaha, TW200, counter shaft (C/S) sprocket, or any aftermarket C/S sprocket designed for the Yamaha TW200. However, the Yamaha TW200 sprocket employs two 5x10mm bolts for the sprocket retainer, while the Zongshen 200GY-2 sprocket employs two 6x10mm bolts. Therefore, you will also need to purchase the smaller, 5x10mm bolts.
Please note, you are going to need to drain the engine oil, and remove the entire, left crankcase cover in order to replace the C/S sprocket. Therefore, I suggest you strongly consider doing the crankcase cover modification shown in the following thread. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=5081 I suggest you also purchase a new gasket for the left crankcase cover. You might damage the original gasket when you remove the cover.

Thanks guys for your help. I will stop by the Yama's shop to order the c.s. this wed. I did remove the crankcase already in order to clean up the electric starter (it's been failing, sometimes work, sometimes not). I had to remove the left crankcase due to the way it was installed the screw on the starter. I got a hex bolt (same size) and will mount on the right side (head bolt) in case the starter needs service. Also, I will check the jet needle's notch (if it's at the middle, the third one) and remove the main jet to get the kit or a bigger one. However, 3 of 4 are stripped bolts and wonder how to remove them. I think will not ride the Vento for about two weeks until get the c.s at least. Not sure how long will take to get main jet and fork seals (if I don't find them at the Yama and Honda's shop)

So we're clear, can you show us where the stripped bolts are located?

The stripped bolts are those holding the carb bowl. I used the dremel and flat screwdriver to take them off. I removed the main jet and took it to the shop but nobody sells this guy. On the other hand, Honda (according to Spud's suggestion) sells the oil seal fork for $30 each one which I think is very expensive. Is there another model or what about the seals that use the TW200? maybe they're cheaper than the Honda ones.

when you find the part # you should be able to order it from an industrial supply store. I recently bought some 35mmx25mmx4mm oil seals for about $6 each. I would think the fork oil seals are similar.

X2.
If you can take your seal sample into a local bearing shop, they might be able to match it. Have you looked at www.jetsrus.com?

As I detailed in my carburetor jet thread, you Teikei MV28 carburetor can use Mikuni N102/221, main jets, which you can purchase from Rocky Mountain ATV. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=6501 http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...in%20jet%20150

Thanks spud for the oil seals size. By the way, I watched some videos on youtube about cleaning fork oil seals. In one of the videos, they claimed that nearly 90% of oil loss is due too dirt on seals. There is one product called Dr. Seal or sealmate (or soemthing) to clean up oil seals. I tried this approach but removing the dust seal was impossible . It seems it's stick into the tube. I don't want to screw up the dust seal with the flat screw driver . What would you recommend for removing this guy?

You're welcome.
You can certainly try the SealMate; it doesn't hurt to experiment. If you are patient, and use a very small, flat blade screwdriver, you can carefully pry the dust seals down the fork tubes.

I've had good luck with a Sealmate, but I've only tried it on conventional forks.
