I took it apart!
Help,
I borrowed my neighbor's friend's brother's new Craftswoman tool set and took my bike completely apart. Now, after putting it back together again it won't run!
Heck, it won't even roll, except downhill when the wind's blowing and I'm pushing really hard.
Do you think it's because I have lots of left over parts? Don't you think it looks cool without all of those extra parts?
Or, do you think it's because the only shop manual I have readily available (for my uncle's old Honda CB750 (RIP)) doesn't have a section on EFI?
Or, could it be the 10 cans of rattle can paint I used to make it look like my favorite TV bike?
I called my local dealership to ask their help, but they said they'll want money to fix it. Huh, I thought that's what a warranty is for. After all, it's defective isn't it?
Can someone help? Maybe post some pictures of how to start over. Oh yeah, can you supply torx values so I don't over tighten somthin important?

Wow...I don't even know where to begin. Hmm Honda CB750 manual, yeah because that will tell you how to take apart and put a HARLEY back together. Sounds like you have about a 650lb paper weight. GOOD JOB BUDDY!!!!
Now go get a service manual and learn the correct way. Oh...and get your own tools and stop being one!

I could loan you my grandson, but be warned, occasionally he forgets a part, too.
Also takes short cuts taking things off...
And if there's more than one bike in the grudge, he likes to see if you can match the part to the bike...
But at least he's a neat mechanic, like's things clean.
He'll even work on metrics with the right encouragement...

...........Is this a joke?
What they heck were you try to fix or destroy?
Warranty does not apply when you are the one that f$&ked up the bike. You need to get a Dyna manual and ditch the honda one. That was one of the very first things I got when I bought the bike even before I had any aftermarket parts.
You ask for torx specs...for what. There are **** ton of them. The manual is the best tool, #1 tool.
