I'm an idiot and bit of more than I could chew - I started disassembling my 2000 1200XLC - now after realizing I won't be furthering the project, instead selling and putting that towards something newer, more suitable. Either way, my face is red.
I have taken all the tins, lighting and other items including the primary cover and clutch controls, pegs, etc. I have attached pictures to see.
My problem is now, I have someone coming to look at the thing and I can't seem to get it rolling to get it on their trailer(they're coming in a few days).
Do I have to disassemble the clutch? I never removed the brakes either.
Wish I could re-do the whole process and just leave it to a pro.
Probably in gear. Put the primary cover on and tighten it down lightly with a few of the screws (you did mark where the screws came out - right, they are different lengths) Then put the shiftier on the shiftier shaft, rock the bike back and forth and put it in 1st gear, then lightly pull up the shiftier into neutral. It should move then.
You advertised this bike as a basket case correct? Because if you don't get it rideable condition that's what it is.
edit: sorry rereading your post the buyer is aware that it's a basket case.
