I'm shure you'll do fine cleaning/lubing them.

Oh I got it and it was funny. I tried being funny as well, dosnt work over the internets sometimes thou. I'll give it a shot at cleaning it and see where that leads me, but at least I know now that if I fubar it, it's only $58 for a whole new assembly. By the way Bigblock I see youve been with yamaha for 22 years. Maybe you could help me locate the serial number on this thing. I've looked in all the suggested places per yamaha and have come up empty handed. Is it a plate or is it stamped in the metal some where. By the way it's a G11...just want to figure out what year. Have some pictures up in my profile if that will help any.

Pictures would really help. The serial # tag can be in several places on G11's. Try just forward of the battery. Or after looking at your pictures, on the driverside, between the rubber cowel cover and the storage area,check for a serial# there.
