Not yet.
Thanks for asking. It is sitting right where I left off. I have the manual. I've got to pick up a few things, study quite a bit more (obviously), and finish two other honey-do projects that have 'popped up' so I can actually focus and take my time.
Like I said, lesson learned. I'm pretty sure that I know what my biggest mistakes were. But I'm still a little perplexed. Mostly because I was trying to dive in to playing with my new toy with too much other stuff going on and not enough information.
I'll get it.
The answer is usually right in front of you.
Thanks again.

Yep, its best to step back sometimes. Just go by the manual and you should be fine, I dont mess with clutches and trannies ,anything else I will. I just had my bike out for the first time this year yesterday and noticed that I cant get the bike to start in gear with the clutch pulled in, Probably just needs to be adjusted but since its new I will get the dealer to do it when I have it in for its first service.

are you turning the cable adjuster all the way in before you adjust the clutch ? i didn't see where you were doing this first. then you can adjust the play in the clutch pack. if ti was fine before you fooled with it and would get an service manual and do some reading up on it.

But, having broken many bolts and stopping many a thread from just carelessness in the past, I was actually being too careful. After getting the manual, doing more research and trying again, I realized that I was just moving the clutch and not seated. I've already 'fixed' that but it's not buttoned up.
My issue now is the throw out rod with the oil slinger and the throw out bearing. It won't go in to the transmission and allow me to put the cover on. The new cable's adjuster is released and the ramp mechanism moves freely...
Because it's sitting on ground waiting for me to figure out what I'm missing with the throw out bearing.
Again, it's all on hold until I can get a few hours if quiet to work with it.
For now, I'm carrying the manual around like a bible.
