ok so im taking the engine apart to get to the transmission gears..my question is how do i break the lower part of the engine apart? ive taken out what appears to be EVERY bolt that could be holding it together..i just cant get it apart...the front side of the motor will come in half a little bit but the back isnt budging..im not gonna just pry and pry because i dont want to crack anything..help please

[Wild-Bill]

I think I see your problem. Somebody snuck in and took your bike apart!

Seriously, have you tried whacking the case with a rubber mallet? (Yes, I'm serious.) A lot of times you have to shock things a bit after taking the bolts out.

i was taking this engine apart being my first time..i had no manual..nothing..just my previous car engine and tranny experience..so i wasnt sure what all it would take..after getting most of everything out reading on here i learned i need to remove the clutch basket to TWO hidden bolts...after that the lower case slid right off no problem. so thanks to everyone who has done this before and posted on this site..im taking pictures tomorrow and if ANYONE needs to take the lower case off i know EXACTLY what to do and what not to do. i love experience by trial and error..

Before the tear down


the bottom casing after removal

the gear with the light shining on it and the one to the left are the ones i need to replace..the meshing point between the two is OBVIOUSLY wore out..will post pics when i take the gears apart

[EDGE9480]

blue is always a good choice and diggin the orange cant wait to see it finished

[zax722]

Thanks man. I can't wait either. I gotta get it together before I choose a color for the gas tank.

Blue is the fastest color

Im glad youve chosen to add HP the smart way by painting your bike blue.

lol and by lowering the weight by removing the plastics and that big huge headlight assembly :P lol thanks for all the support guys. (few critics here at home arent a fan of blue. lol)
