dude you got jipped.

the a-star is backwards...

main what? which pic are you referring too?

oil pan off, along with oiling internals taken out, strainer/pump/pump chain/relief valve

new 05 output shaft w/ gears on top, and input shaft on bottom.

shift shaft rod cleaning. before on the right, after on the left

split the cases!

output shaft removed

selector drum, and forks removed

check out those scrape marks on the output shaft shifter forks...weird

alas the source of my problem. my gremlin. if you can't tell, the rounded part is not supposed to be rounded like that. its like this on all three.

the dog holes where the above dogs mesh with. you can see where it slips in and out, even the holes are rounded a bit

Damn Rosso, way to screw it up for the rest of us.

No point in sending it to the wife and girlfriend now. Shit.

someone's double dipping

the other three

yamaha/honda/suzuki

one more reason to buy yamaha--easy to change your gauge cluster color lol

for kawi's yes you have to solder because you guys have ~7 different LED's on a circuit board.

for only yamaha's (maybe zukes) you don't need to solder at all --we have 2-3 led bulbs. i just figured out what led's it took, (#74 type slim wedge base bulb) and its a simple twist lock and install

easy.

spray paint!

i think the hysteria would be worse than y2k personally. even if it doesn't happen you know not only the movies, but the newscasts will be cashing in on this come around that time just to get review's.

it will bring it to the attention of people who didn't already know about it, people going crazy at grocery stores buying water/canned goods. others going on rampages of murder, rape, theft, etc thinking if the world is going to end they can do whatever they want and not have to face the consequences.

thats what i think. even if the world doesn't actually end on 12/21/12, the mere thought that it might will bring something similar to the "end"

why would you need a second phone line...?

^dude i just saw that armageddon special on History channel.

kinda neat, but i dont believe it... although shit will go crazy dec 20.

no

this looks sweet i may do this.

too much carbon or normal for a bike with 30k?

what about covering up the exhaust ports while cleaning to prevent water getting in, stuff with the blue paper towels?

time for a little update:

my workbench that 1fasttc (john) so graciously donated! much much appreciated! (the helmet is not mine, but my roomates...)

box of covers, staying as organized as i possibly can with ziploc baggies with detailed labeling (this is more full now, i just haven't taken a picture yet)

stator

timing and clutch exposed.

see what i have to work with? gross.

exhaust ports (if anything looks suspicious let me know)

clutch boss removed.

input shaft -- trying to figure out how to get that bearing out (two holed thing around the shaft)

oil pan off -- oil strainer a little dirty but other than that everything looks fairly clean

another update: sent the supsension off with EarAche (Eric--again much thanks to him!) to reuben at 35 motorsports after finally nailing down what i wanted to do within my budget. Installing new .9 springs with an OEM revalve, as well as a refresh and recharge in the back (no spring needed). Ill get it back as soon as Eric decides when he wants to come see us again in Cbus...

questions:

any ideas how to clean all that crap off? i have a brass wired brush but i dont think that will hold up for the whole thing. I tried a dremel with different attachements but that only gave me a "brushed polished" look, so i stopped that idea.

how do i get off the bearing on the input shaft

and the exhaust ports, look ok?

no you dont have to be a member.

dont know the rest...

i got a few.............

all year fun

you talking the quad or the girl

my hobby:

i like to take things apart and put them back together again. no seriously

other than that the rest of my money and time are dedicated to

part 2 i just thought of, you also have to worry about when your bike falls on no cuts that offset force could stress or strip the motor mount.

not good.

Just make sure you get cut sliders.

if it falls and hits that puck imagine a free body diagram.

cut slider: force goes directly through the puck to the frame

no cuts: force goes directly through the puck, but its offset from the frame resulting in twisting or at most a complete break of the frame, depending on how knarly your crash was.

i've heard good reports from vortex and woodcraft. although i have heard of the vortex puck melting over the access bolt making it harder to get in and replace. i have had my vortex on for 3 years and they are still as white as the day i bought them.

^thats a good looking bike you got there...

its not like its a long term relationship...

trackdays are more like a one night stand.

i forgot to add a few things that may be of use:

i winterized the bike according to suzukis manual and filled it with 2 gal of oil (bike has not been turned on tho). i have sinced drained the oil and refilled it with the proper amount.

i did the sprocket change with the bike in gear and the rear tire off. sprocket nut was torqued down in gear

bike has been sitting for 2 months

lower sprocket case bolt is missing (all others torqued down to spec)

surely you dont mean two whole gallons do you!?

do the basics first like jrmii said, check the adjustment down by the clutch cover first. if that doesn't work its probably plates that are stuck, you might need new springs.
