[QUOTE="KDXTrreme, post: 533334, member: 25490"] Well, unfortunatley, that's not it :( I took the engine apart last night and got the entire right side off.. Clutch and all, I found alot of small metal particles in the bottom of the case.. not the normal micro particles from clutch wear but rather large ones >:( I also found that part of my right case had been bent and was almost broken off inside the engine. It looks like part of an oil channeling wall. The break is directly above where the idle gear is at about a 1:30 position on the idle gear. The piece was bent down and was almost touching the idle gear, I finished the breaking-off after I got the idle gear off, I should be able to hone that down to a smooth edge and it should be OK unless someone knows that this will not work and that the oil must be channeled specifically through this area. It looks to me like the only way a break like this could have occured is that something lagre and metal must have become lodged in there somehow and been foced in a way which bent the case internally. There has GOT to be something foating around over in the transmission so now I have to split the cases, I could find no damage anywhere in any of the gearing that I have gotten to so far.. The shift return spring and shift mechanism were undamaged and would actually shift with no problems when I tried it with the cover off.. Basically I just have to keep digging. Anybody have any ideas what I may find?? Also, I plan on taking the cases to my local shop to get split and then doing all the internal repair work my self, I am a good mechanic. I have never been in a bottom end, how much of a pain is it to get them back together right? Is there anything in specific I should look out for? Are there any specialty tools I REALLY need.. Like the crankshaft jig?? Or should I replace all the broken parts, get it all ready to go back together, then take it to my local Kawisaki shop and have them do the re-assembly with all the right jigs? Thanks alot for any help!! [/QUOTE]
