Do yourself a favor and get a manual. It, at least, gives you confidence that you have instructions on getting it back together and you don't have to wonder, 'now where did this thing go'. Nothing worse than getting it back together and having spare parts left over that go on the transmission! :whiner: Funny story, at least it is now. I was just putting the cases back together when, right at the split second they were about to connect, the rod falls over. Ok, now I have the cases back together with a working transmission but nothing to connect the piston to! The rod was sticking into the transmission :scream: Ok, so I split the cases again. Now I'm putting them back together AGAIN, watching that rod, trying to keep the shift drum aligned and together they go. A quick once over and everthing looks A-OK. So I continue to put on the main rod, rotor and stator, clutch, piston, cylinder, etc. put the COMPLETED engine back in the back, put everything else back on the bike, radiators, etc. and have a completed bike. So now its time to fill 'er up with transmission oil, coolant and fuel and take it out for a test run. Ok first the oil, put in about 3/4 quart and what do I see? You guessed it! Fresh red Bel-Ray 75w transmission oil running out from the bottom of the motor from between the case halves. :scream: :p :whiner: Seems the case gasket had crooked just a little right before the halves came together. It took all of my will power just to keep from dowsing it with gasoline and throwin' a match on it. So, after a couple hours of cooling off and soul searching, here I go again tearing the bike completely down again. I finally did get it fixed and back together again and everything was peachy keen. Moral of this story: If you have to concentrate on remembering all the small details of what goes where, you may completely overlook the large, obvious things. Get a service manual!
