^ thanks! i will check that for sure once im starting back up that road.
i finally have my parts and i think im ready to open the motor.
i have never opened a bike engines bottom end before. i have looked across youtube but i cant seem to find a good tear down vid of the bottom end.
i assume its as simple as taking anything apart and just going slow, but id like a video to follow or a write up on getting down enough to install my Billet output shaft and steel shift shafts and so on if one exists out there. anything is better than going in blind.
also, i remember reading or hearing about these engines having balance shafts? is that correct? do guys leave them in or take them out? back in my youth with turbo dodge cars, we always took out the balance shafts to reduce weight and unnecessary rotating mass. whats the story for these engines??
