Hi, i am taking my bike completely apart to paint frame and all. Can someone offer some advise as if i should take the primary off first or can i leave it on when removing motor? and tips that would help me out .....is it better to take tranny out first? thanks

 

Take primary off, then motor, then tranny.

 

Thanks......going to Tackel it this weekend.

 

Get a box of plastic bags and put all the bolts,nuts, and washers and tag them..Example outer primary,inner primary,transmission,when you label each bag it will make life so much easier when you go to put it all back together..

 

what others have said....

key is to stay very organized... you'll be fine

 

PICTURES as you remove oil lines, fuel lines, electrical parts, bolts, ect.........!
You will not regret the time you spend taking the PICTURES.

 

you can never go wrong having the service and parts manual handy

 

Ditto broke c7 !
Do yourself a Big favour and fork out the beans for the factory manual .
It has a step by step procedure for your particular endevour AND everything else you need to know later.

 

...and the parts manual is also a must. When you are sitting there with 2 bolts and one grommet left going WTF?, this will tell you where they belong. the diagrams are way better than the service manual.

 

True ... but this is what the pics. and baggies are for .
